The three-week leave from duties cabinet minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil is taking during the National Feedlot Centre probe is the mark of her exit, PKR parliamentarians are saying."It is a face-saving exit," said PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution, who is confident the women, family and community development minister will not be in Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's line-up for the 13th general election.
Shahrizat's leave, which begins tomorrow, is the "first step" before she is dropped from the BN candidate list, Saifuddin (left) told Malaysiakini.
"It is only a matter of time before Shahrizat goes. She is trying to buy time... taking leave is just a face-saving exit.
"Najib will not keep her as a liability, for her case is bigger than those involving (Minister in the Prime Minister's Department) Jamil Khir Baharom and (Deputy Finance Minister) Awang Adek Hussin.
"This is not at all surprising," added the Machang MP, because the evidence linking her to NFC "is overwhelming".
Shahrizat has come under fire since the Auditor-General's 2010 Report was released last October.
The report states that National Feedlot Corporation (NFC), which is managed by her husband and children, was in a financial "mess" after being given RM250 million in public funds.
Shahrizat has insisted that NFC, which is being probed for criminal breach of trust by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the police, has nothing to do with her.
‘Negotiations must have failed'
PKR has accused NFC of abusing a portion of the RM250 million allocation for the cattle-rearing project to buy luxury properties and prime plots of land unrelated to the project.
PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin said Shahrizat's "much delayed" announcement was an indication of "negotiations" having failed. "She should have done this long ago. She should have taken leave from her post until the issue is settled," said Zuraida, who is the Ampang MP.
"Instead, Shahrizat went on the offensive, unnecessarily," she said, adding that cattle farm project scandal would be the "bull's eye for the opposition to bring BN down".
Saifuddin maintained that Najib and his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin should also be held accountable for the NFC scandal as they were partly involved in awarding the project to Shahrizat's family.
He said Najib while serving as deputy to former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, chaired the cabinet committee on high impact agriculture projects, while Muhyiddin was then agriculture minister.
"Najib is also responsible... he and Muhyiddin have to disclose minutes of cabinet meetings to determine if Shahrizat was there when the project was handed out.
"We have to know what the roles of Najib and Muhyiddin were at that time. They can't stay silent forever," Saifuddin added.

Setiausaha agung PKR, Saifuddin Nasution menganggap cuti tiga minggu daripada tugas menteri yang dipohon oleh Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil mulai esok - sewaktu siasatan dijalankan ke atas Perbadanan Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC) - merupakan "langkah pertama" sebelum digugurkan daripada senarai calon BN.
Beliau juga menyifatkan percutian tersebut hanya satu langkah untuk menyelamatkan air muka menteri berkenaan.
Saifuddin (kiri) yakin menteri pembangunan wanita, keluarga dan masyarakat itu tidak akan disenaraikan oleh perdana menteri sebagai calon dalam pilihan raya umum nanti kerana beliau dilihat sebagai satu satu liabiliti.
Ahli parlimen Machang itu berkata kes yang membabitkan Shahrizat yang juga ketua Wanita Umno itu, jauh lebih besar daripada yang membabitkan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Jamil Khir Baharom dan Timbalan Menteri Kewangan, Datuk Awang Adek Hussin.
"Ini tidak mengejutkan langsung, " kata Saifuddin yang mendakwa bukti yang mengaitkan Shahrizat dengan NFC "adalah terlalu banyak".
Shahrizat menjadi sasaran kritikan sejak Laporan Ketua Audit Negara 2010 dikeluarkan Oktober lalu.
Laporan itu menyatakan NFC, yang diuruskan oleh suami dan anak menteri berkenaan, berada dalam keadaan "kucar-kacir" selepas diperuntukkan RM250 juta daripada dana awam.
Shahrizat pula bertegas bahawa NFC - yang sedang disiasat berkaitan dakwaan pecah amanah jenayah oleh Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan polis - tidak ada kaitan dengannya.
PKR mendakwa NFC telah menyalahgunakan sebahagian daripada peruntukan RM250 juta untuk projek ternakan lembu itu, dengan membeli hartanah mewah dan tanah yang tidak berkaitan dengan projek tersebut.
Ketua Wanita PKR, Zuraida Kamaruddin (kiri) pula berkata Shahrizat sepatutnya sudah lama berbuat demikian.
Setelah berbuih-buih asakan pendedahan, kutukan, caci maki ,malahan doa di panjangkankepada NFC dan kroni-kroninya, hari ini Shahrizat tampil dengan dakwaan mahu mengambil cuti panjang agar SPRM dapat menyiasat sama ada beliau terlibat atau tidak..wah!!! seronok dengar bunyinya perkataan ini dan yang nak menyiasatnya pulak aduhai SPRM yang memang terenal dengan dakwaan timbal balik.
Lepas dakwa bagi polis, lepas polis siasat , bagi semula kepada SPRM...memang nampak drama siasatan ini macam drama main bola sepak dan pengulas yang memainan peranan mensensasikan permainan bola di padang lagaknya .
Aku tak kisah kalau selama pendedahan ini menunjukkan bukti siapa bersalah dan jelas sekali ianya memang bersalah, walau belum masuk mahkamah lagi pun...kalau benar-benar telus ..dah lama ditangkap dan disiasat..sebagaimana dakwaan yang berlaku kepada ketua Pembangkang..ditahan di siasat dilondeh dan dimalukan.
Gamaknya lah..kalau begitu dilakukan kepada mereka-mereka ini..mahu saja pengsan didalam lokap.Dengan bukti jelas,dengan tuduhan yang dibuktikan harta yang dimiliki , masih lagi nak siasat?
Sebenarnya..begini apabila disiasat...nampaknya tidak ada kaitan langsung sebab yang mengendalikan projek NFC bukan aku, tetapi suami aku..dan aku langsung tak terlibat walau sebiji biji sawi sekali pun.
Kelihatan drama ini berterusan dan bagaimana ianya akan dibersihkan dalam jangkamasa yang terdekat ini.Bagi pendengar dan pengikut setia drama bersiri ini kita akan tahu kesudahannya laksana cerita dongeng purbakala apabila hero sudah tentunya akan menang dan menjadi raja....bagi shahrizat...anda pastinya akan dibersihan.
