Mahathir's motivation to oust Najib

Why Dr. Mahathir is bent on ousting Najib?

# Revenge against Najib not helping his son Mukriz to win contest as one of Vice-Presidents of UMNO.
we can understand Dr Mahathir’s frustration and can appreciate why he is so angry with Najib. Because Najib refused to help Mukhriz that has shattered Dr Mahathir’s dream for his son to become the new Prime Minister.  (Acessed on 6 March'16 at http://www.malaysia-today.net/dr-mahathir-can-only-accept-his-son-mukhriz-as-the-new-pm/ )

Dr Mahathir was hoping that Mukhriz would win the party contest and become one of the three Umno Vice Presidents — and he had hoped that Najib would help make this happen. He wanted Najib to make sure that Mukhriz wins. Najib, however, did not help Mukhriz win and this upset Dr Mahathir big time.  (Acessed on 6 March'16 at http://www.malaysia-today.net/dr-mahathir-can-only-accept-his-son-mukhriz-as-the-new-pm/ )

(Bernama, 20 October 2013) – Despite losing his bid to be one of Umno vice presidents, Mukhriz Mahathir has pledged to continue contributing towards the transformation of the party. Mukhriz, who is Kedah Menteri Besar, said he could still contribute in his capacity as the state Umno liaison committee chairman.

“I don’t think that with the results I’m suddenly totally out of the picture. It’s my hope that party president (Najib Tun Razak) will still consider giving me a place in the Umno supreme council so that I too can contribute towards ensuring we can do better in the 14th general election,” he told reporters at the Putra World Trade Centre here last night.

Mukhriz failed to clinch the third vice-presidency slot in a keenly fought battle against Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, garnering 91 votes against the latter’s 100 when the official results were announced at about 1.40 am today.

The outcome saw incumbents Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Mohd Shafie Apdal and Hishammuddin retain their vice-presidency for the 2013-2016 term.Acessed on 6 March'16 at http://www.malaysia-today.net/dr-mahathir-can-only-accept-his-son-mukhriz-as-the-new-pm/ )

# revenge against Najib refusing to continue with Dr Mahathir's policies

“As for Mahathir critics, the question would still remain if this is an act of revenge because Najib had flatly refused to continue Dr Mahathir’s policies, setting in motion the crumbling of his legacy.

“The onus is now on civil society representatives and political parties to ensure Dr Mahathir does not hijack the movement,” he said. ('He' is Klang MP (DAP) , Charles Santiago.

# wanting his son Mukriz to become Prime Minister

Umno supreme council member Datuk Dr Puad Zakarshi claimed that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's attacks on the party's leadership was because of his desire to see his son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir become the prime minister. "The real motive of Tun Dr Mahathir attacking to unseat (Umno president and Prime Minister) Datuk Seri Najib Razak is because he wants Mukhriz to become Prime Minister. This is why he did not name anyone to replace Najib. "Tun Dr Mahathir is obsessed with his agenda to have Mukhriz to become PM to the point that he will slander Datuk Seri Najib and sit at the same table as (DAP adviser) Lim Kit Siang, an enemy of the Malays and Muslims," Puad said in a statement today. He said Dr Mahathir's recent move to quit Umno was to allow him to become an ally with DAP to force Najib to step down through street demonstrations. He said Mukhriz needed to understand there were no shortcuts to becoming Umno president and Prime Minister.

# Mahathir's time plan to make Mukriz the Prime Minister of Malaysia after Najib

" Mahathir is telling the nation that he is attacking Najib and wants the Prime Minister to be removed because RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money has disappeared into thin air. In December 2014, Mahathir told Khairuddin Abu Hassan to make a police report so that action can be taken against Najib.

But then more than a year before the so-called ‘1MDB scandal’ Mahathir had already started attacking Najib. And he started attacking Najib after his son, Mukhriz, failed to win an Umno Vice President’s seat. That was when Kadir Jasin and Syed Akbar Ali were instructed to start attacking Najib.

Mahathir was angry that Mukhriz failed to win one of the Umno Vice President’s posts in 2013 — because in 2016 he was supposed to contest the Umno Deputy President’s post and then replace Muhyiddin Yassin as the Deputy Prime Minister, and then around 2020 replace Najib as the Umno President and then take over as the new Prime Minister of Malaysia.

However, for all this to happen, Mukhriz first needed to become an Umno Vice President in 2013. But that did not happen and Mahathir blames Najib for that. So, in 2013, Mahathir started to attack Najib. But when the attacks did not seem to go anywhere, in August 2014, Mahathir announced that he was withdrawing support from Najib.

But still nothing happened. Najib appeared to be still in charge and still remained strong. And that was when in December 2014 Mahathir decided to use the RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money disappearing into thin air as the issue because he knew that only with this issue would the opposition jump onto the bandwagon and join the movement to oust Najib.

The following month, in January 2015, Najib countered by appointing a new President/CEO for 1MDB and Mahathir realised that the RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money disappearing into thin air would not be an issue any longer. In fact, 1MDB would be able to prove that the story regarding RM42 billion of 1MDB’s money disappearing into thin air is bullshit and an utter lie. So Mahathir shifted the attack to the RM2.6 billion-donation instead and suggested that the money was stolen from 1MDB.

Are you telling me that Jailani and Lim Kit Siang and the rest of the opposition are too stupid to see all this? What a bunch of idiots!

So let me repeat that, slowly this time, for those who are mentally deficient.

The move to oust Najib is not about 1MDB. It is also not about the RM2.6 billion. It is about making Mukhriz the Prime Minister in 2020. And Mahathir needs to do this so that not only can his legacy be continued but also so that the billions of Umno’s wealth that he is still holding on to can remain in his family.

What! Did you think his sons all became billionaires because of their dedikasi? No, it was because daddy kasi. But then those billions do not belong to daddy for him to give to his sons. They belong to Umno. And Najib wants Mahathir to return to Umno what belongs to Umno — Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s." ... accessed on 20/3/16 at http://www.malaysia-today.net/dont-be-stupid-jailani-its-all-about-making-mukhriz-the-pm/

Later deveolpments (points):-

First of all, he confessed that he wants Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak removed by unconstitutional means. He even said there is no provision in the Constitution for His Majesty the Agong to remove a Prime Minister but he still wants the Agong to do it anyway.

That, in case you do not know, is called a coup d’etat (definition: an overthrow or sudden and forced seizure of a state instigated by a small group to depose the established regime and replace it with a new ruling body).

Secondly, Mahathir confessed he does not want to discuss yet who should replace Najib as Prime Minister if and when they successfully launch their unconstitutional coup d’etat. That will be discussed only after Najib is ousted.

In short, oust Najib first and then we can fight it out later as to who should take over. Hmm…this sounds like Nigeria of the 1960s. And until today, 50 years later, people are still getting murdered every day in Nigeria (as I write this one Colonel has just been kidnapped).

Thirdly, Mahathir does not want Muhyiddin or Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as Najib’s successor. So who then does he want as Najib’s successor? We will not talk about it now. We will discuss it later after Najib has been ousted.

Why? Because if we talk about it now then Mahathir will have to confess that he wants his son Mukhriz as the new Prime Minister. And the fact he will not say this is already as good as a confession that he wants Mukhriz.  (accessed on 31/316 at http://www.malaysia-today.net/mahathir-finally-confirms-he-wants-mukhriz-as-pm/
