PM to proceed with Gunfight, forgotten about fuel prices?

online-futures | .... The famous Gunfight at the OK Corral more than 125-years ago in Tombstone, Arizona, is set to repeat again here. The only difference this time – it’s a one-to-one gunfight between Abdullah and Anwar. Cowboy PM Badawi is waiting for Cowboy Anwar to draw his “gun” so that he can draw his pistol tucked into the waistband of his pants – ISA (internal security act). While deputy PM Najib rejoiced after he was crowned the new Finance Minister, he was nevertheless given the post as deputy chairman of Khazanah Nasional Berhad only while the chairmanship still belongs to PM Badawi (after a check from Khazanah website). Whether the portfolio swap (between PM and his deputy) was a temporary carrot to pacify Najib and his gang is up to your interpretation.



After bombarded by four warlords to resign not later than 9 Oct at the UMNO’s supreme council meeting, Abdullah Badawi was rumored to have decided to throw in the towel until his son-in-law, Khairy, jumped in and persuade his father-in-law to reconsider and continue to fight for his survival for the position as president of UMNO. It’s only normal for Khairy to prolong Badawi’s tenure because the former’s political survival depends solely on the latter’s position as PM. Furthermore political calculation reveals Najib will most likely refrain from challenging his boss should Badawi decided to defend his position. Interestingly Teresa Kok was released after just a week under the draconian ISA-law prompting the speculation if Najib has anything to do with it. It doesn’t help to inherit an unstable government if it’s fated that the country will have Najib as the next PM.... selanjutnya.
