Plan C is for the MACC to arrest Najib under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act, which is punishable under Section 24 of the same Act and, upon conviction, carries the same jail term as Section 124 of the Penal Code, which is 20 years.
Azmin Ali has denied meeting ex-Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to discuss the plot to oust Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. Azmin did not deny the meeting. He denied the reason for the meeting. The purpose of meeting the Deputy Prime Minister, said Azmin, was to discuss the water issue in Selangor.
But then there is already a Minister in charge of handling the water issue. This is the man who is going to settle the water negotiations between the state and the federal government. What has the Deputy Prime Minister got to do with the water issue?
Well, Azmin also denied meeting Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in London. He denied it ‘sekeras-kerasnya’, like he denied ‘sekeras-kerasnya’ meeting Muhyiddin to plot the vote of no confidence against Najib. But now it has been confirmed that Azmin did, in fact, meet Dr Mahathir in London.
The purpose of the meeting in London was for Azmin to deliver a message from Anwar Ibrahim. Pakatan Rakyat will support any move to oust Najib if Dr Mahathir can agree to a pardon for Anwar whereby he would then be released from jail.
Dr Mahathir, however, turned down the proposal. If Anwar’s pardon and freedom is part of the deal then Dr Mahathir is not interested. Anwar cannot be part of the equation.
The next day Azmin flew back to Malaysia and two days later he went to meet Anwar in the Sungai Buloh Prison (see photo below) to deliver the bad news. And the bad news is ‘no deal’.
Lim Guan Eng has also denied meeting Muhyiddin to discuss the plot to oust Najib. He did not deny meeting Muhyiddin but he said he met the Deputy Prime Minister only to discuss government business.
Well, Guan Eng also denied being behind the plot to bring down PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang and denied being behind the plot to create a new Islamic party called GHB or PAS 2.0. He also denied giving the Team B in PAS a couple of million Ringgit. But it is now proven that that denial is false.
Of course they would all deny meeting the Deputy Prime Minister to discuss the plot to oust the Prime Minister. If they admit to being involved in that conspiracy then they risk arrest under Section 124 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years upon conviction.
Furthermore, if they admit that Muhyiddin was leading a conspiracy to oust Najib then he also risks facing disciplinary action and may be suspended or sacked from Umno even if he is not arrested and charged under Section 124.
Okay, what if I were to reveal that certain MIC leaders also met Muhyiddin to discuss leaving Barisan Nasional to join DAP? And what if I were to reveal that Muhyiddin told them to hold on a while longer because very soon Najib is going to be ousted.
Amongst these MIC leaders were Datuk Seri G Palanivel, Datuk S Soothinathan, Tan Sri S Balakrishnan, Anbumani Balan and Datin Seri P. Kanagam.
They are probably going to deny the meeting. But then if I were to show the photograph of the meeting they would most likely not deny the meeting but will deny the purpose of the meeting and tell us that it was to discuss ‘Indian matters’.
Anyway, Plan A (which was to pass a vote of no confidence against Najib in Parliament) and Plan B (which was to force Najib to resign during the 29th July Cabinet meeting or else face arrest) have both fallen flat when both the Deputy Prime Minister and the Attorney General were replaced.
So, since Plans A and B have failed, they now need to go to Plan C, and if that fails as well, then finally to Plan X.
And what is Plan C?
Plan C is for the MACC to arrest Najib under Section 23 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act, which is punishable under Section 24 of the same Act and, upon conviction, carries the same jail term as Section 124 of the Penal Code, which is 20 years.
But then, just like in the case of Plans A and B, Najib pre-empted this move and removed certain key MACC officers and transferred them to the Prime Minister’s Department.
So now they are crying ‘illegal’ and ‘unconstitutional’ and ‘unjust’ and so on. Hello! Brader! This is politics mah! In politics you make your move and pre-empt the move by the other side. You strike before your adversaries strike and checkmate them every step of the way.
Is this not also what Dr Mahathir used to do? And is this not why he remained Prime Minister for 22 years when they tried to remove him after only six years in office?
So it looks like Plan C, just like Plans A and B, has failed. So they may have to move to the final Plan, which is Plan X. I can more or less ‘smell’ what Plan X is going to be because one opposition leader warned me about ‘The Big One’, which is coming in October.
What is ‘The Big One’? And why is it going to be in October? This opposition leader did not tell me other than ‘The Big One is going to happen in October’. And is this ‘Big One’ Plan X?
Sheesh. October is another two months from now. You mean we have to wait another two months before we know what ‘The Big One’ is and whether it is Plan X? And does Najib also know what ‘The Big One’ is? And does he have a plan on how to pre-empt ‘The Big One’ like he pre-empted Plans A, B and C?
