Ramai pihak menduga masanya sudah tiba bagi Datuk Seri Najib Razak berundur dari jawatan perdana menteri.
Orang pembangkang seperti Rafizi Ramli melihat, ucapan Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dalam satu majlis tertutup bersama pemimpin tertinggi Umno pada hari Sabtu lalu merupakan petanda besar kiamat bagi Najib.
Rakaman video ucapan tersebut dimuatkan oleh seorang bekas editor The New Straits Times ke Internet.
Maka pecahlah isi pertemuan tertutup itu ketika Najib membentangkan Rancangan Malaysia ke-11 di Dewan Rakyat semalam.
Kalut juga orang Umno dibuatnya. Seorang bekas MP Umno, Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin bingkas menuntut agar majlis tertinggi parti bertemu untuk membincangkan hukuman yang patut dikenakan pada Muhyiddin.
Nampaknya, ada dua jalan yang boleh dipilih oleh Umno – pecat Najib, seperti yang dilaung oleh individu tertentu dalam majlis tertutup di Janda Baik, atau pecat Muhyiddin.
Najib sudah banyak kali bergurindam mengenai bahtera patah kemudi, ribut taufan dan sebagainya. Jelas, beliau tidak akan berundur dengan mudah dan lebih sanggup tenggelam bersama orang-orangnya.
Satu kemungkinan yang mungkin timbul, Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Wang Negara mungkin akan mendapati 1MDB tidak melakukan sebarang penyelewengan. Namun, adakah Umno akan kembali rukun dan damai?
Tentulah Muhyiddin sudah membuat perkiraannya sebelum meranduk dalam kekeruhan isu 1MDB.Kalaupun 1MDB sememangnya didapati suci murni selepas ini, Muhyiddin tidak akan terlepas kerana beliau sudah berkempen kepada orang Umno bahawa syarikat yang ditaja kerajaan itu menyusahkan parti.
Langkah terbarunya ini juga menjadi persoalan kerana beliau sepatutnya sudah lama meletak jawatan jika tidak bersetuju dengan 1MDB.
Tidak seperti Najib, Muhyiddin tidak menawarkan pantun gurindam atau dongeng bangsawan. Katanya, pendirian yang dipegangnya mudah – beliau hormat pada Najib, tapi beliau hanya takut pada Allah.
Maksudnya, Muhyiddin mahu berlawan.
Maka tidak hairanlah jika isu seperti alat keperluan sekolah yang usang di pedalaman Sabah tiba-tiba dibangkitkan oleh bekas timbalan menteri dalam kementerian yang diterajuinya.
Jadi, siapa pilihan Umno? - mk
Why didn't you resign, Muhyiddin asked...
Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been
second-in-command since the inception of 1Malaysia Development Berhad
(1MDB) to its present state.
"So, where was his objection and inner voice of conscience throughout this period? Why did he not resign then?" asked PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli, a leading critic of the ailing firm.
The
Pandan lawmaker noted that 1MDB was branded as a key government
transformational vehicle that formed the cornerstone of BN's policies.
"Muhyiddin was not only a key player in the cabinet that approved the whole transformation plan, he was also a party to all the cabinet decisions that made 1MDB to what it is today.
"Where was Muhyiddin's objection when the cabinet approved the sale of government lands at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) and Sungai Besi Air Force base to 1MDB at dirt cheap price?
"Why did Muhyiddin allow the cabinet to approve the guarantees and support letters worth billions of ringgit to 1MDB's creditors?
"Worse, Muhyiddin gleefully tagged along when the whole BN GE13 campaign benefitted from 1MDB's fund through Yayasan 1MDB," he told Malaysiakini.
Elaborating, Rafizi said BN's campaign on free tyres for cabbies, sending imam for haj, giving new fishing nets and engines to fishermen and similar programmes for votes were funded by 1MDB to the tune of RM382 million, as announced by Deputy Finance Minister Ahmad Maslan.
Why not quit now?
The PKR leader believes that if the opposition, civil societies and media did not build a strong case against 1MDB, Muhyiddin would have continued to remain silent.
Rafizi was responding to reports concerning a video recording of the deputy prime minister calling for the 1MDB board of directors to be sacked and investigated.
Muhyiddin lamented that he had told Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak of this, but nothing had transpired.
While Najib and 1MDB have urged all quarters to wait for the outcome of the audit on the firm, the deputy prime minister, however, said the issue cannot wait.
Rafizi said it was convenient for Muhyiddin and a score of other senior Umno leaders to wash their hands clean with regard to 1MDB when they were inextricably linked to 1MDB as much as Najib is.
"If Muhyiddin is really concerned about 1MDB - knowing that Najib will not bow down because 1MDB is linked to him - the most honourable thing for Muhyiddin to do is to resign from the cabinet instead, as his objection to 1MDB.
"That may prompt a serious build up of the case against 1MDB that will put a stop to future abuse of public funds to bail out 1MDB," Rafizi added. - mk

What's the big deal in DPM attacking eunuchs...
If the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) saga
can be analysed along the lines of an ancient Chinese dynasty, a
political observer believes Muhyiddin Yassin's attack is nothing
substantial.
The deputy prime minister, said Wong Chin Huat, did not target the "emperor or his ministers" but rather the "eunuchs" - the 1MDB board of directors.
"What is the big deal (of Muhyiddin) targeting the board? This is simply slashing the eunuchs but not the ministers.
"He did not even touch Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim, who is the Lembaga Tabung Haji president," the Penang Institute fellow told Malaysiakini.
However, he pointed out if Muhyiddin starts shooting at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's men, it would mean the number two has amassed enough troops to burn the bridges with his boss.
A leaked video of the Umno deputy president's closed door meeting with Umno leaders revealed Muhyiddin calling for the 1MDB directors to be sacked and investigated.
Muhyiddin said he conveyed his advice to Najib but nothing happened. However, he stressed he was not planning to oust the prime minister.
'Tip of the iceberg'
Wong said the rift between the top two leaders was evident ever since Muhyiddin told Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he is not alone.
The former premier, who has been calling for Najib's resignation, lamented that he was alone in pursuing the truth.
Wong
believes Muhyiddin's latest move is only the "tip of the iceberg" and
should not be construed as an open declaration of war against Najib.
"The fighting between Muhyiddin and Najib has never ceased.
"Is Muhyiddin pressing harder? Yes; Is it worsening? Yes; Has it reached critical point, where it is irreversible? I don't think so," he said.
"How do we know when it is a war? The most direct one would be asking Najib to step down. The second would be demanding him to hand over the finance minister post," he noted, adding that the post has the resources for patronage.
'No drawing blood during Ramadan'
Meanwhile, DAP political education director Liew Chin Tong pointed out that the timing of Muhyiddin's move - prior to Ramadan - is also an important factor.
This, he said, is to avoid conflict during the sacred month in the Islamic calendar.
"Ramadan starts from June 18, after that, it would be Aidilfitri. This would be two months. Usually nobody draws blood during Ramadan.
"Thus, if you want to end Najib, you need to do it before Ramadan," he told Malaysiakini.
If Najib manages to survive, Liew said the prime minister might be able to prolong his political career for few more months.
"I think they (Najib’s detractors) cannot wait any longer, so they started a move now (before Ramadan). Now we need to see how Najib would react,"he said.
'Muhyiddin playing hardball'
For Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM) Associate Professor Mohammad Agus Yusoff, Muhyiddin's latest statement is nothing more than an Umno leader expressing concern over the debt-laden state investment fund.
Among Umno leaders, he pointed out, there are two "schools of thoughts" on the 1MDB issue.
"One says wait for the audit report before further action is taken; whereas others urge the authorities to take swift and firm action.
"I don't think this is a break-up. This is merely an Umno leader showing responsibility and concern.
"Muhyiddin appears to be playing hardball as he needs to show his energy in the face of hundreds of Umno members (at the meeting). Moreover, he didn't know the video would be leaked," he said.
This was echoed by National Professors' Council head of political cluster Mustafa Ishak, who added that it was not uncommon for Umno leaders to have “differences of opinions” on issues - mk

Units adalah matawang terbaru dan video Muhyidin Yassin...
Syarikat Malaysia ini telah menggunakan units untuk bayar hutang dan menggunakan nya sebagai sekuriti meminjam RM3.6billion dari consortium bank yang diketuai oleh Deutsche Bank Singapura.
Dari 2.318billion units ini, 1.215billion units telah digunakan untuk membayar faedah pinjaman dan juga membayar satu pihak yang dihutangi oleh 1MDB. Nama pihak itu ialah Aabar.
Baki nya, sebanyak 1.103billion units masih ada dalam bank BSI. Menurut Husni Hanazliah, kerajaan akan cuba membawa pulang 1.103 billion units ini dengan kadar segara.
Apa yang hendak dibawa balik?
Soalan saya ialah Dato Husni Hanazliah(gambar atas) ini tidur atau minum air ketum? saya tidak faham satu perkara.
Macam mana mahu bawa balik sesuatu yang kita tidak hak milik keatas nya? Bukankah 1.103 billion units ini telah digunakan sebagai sekuriti untuk pinjaman sebanyak RM3.6 billion dari Deutsche Bank? Tentulah deutsche bank ada lien keatas 1.103billion units ini bukan?
Mengikut Husni 2.318billion units ini bernilai USD2.318 billion juga kerana ia disokong nilai nya oleh beberapa dana daulah atau sovereign funds. Ini satu matawang baru mungkin digunakan oleh organisasi penyamun sedunia.
Isiu apa benda yang sebetulnya disimpan dalam akaun BSI Singapura menjadi lebih mengelirukan hari demi hari. Orang putih kata it’s getting more bizarre by the day. Seperti yang dikata dalam Alice in Wonderland- it’s getting curiouser and curiouser ….
Kali ini, Husni Hanazliah menyebabkan kita tambah keliru dan pusing kepala. Memang kerja pemimpin kerajaan memutar belit kah? Tolong beritahu rakyat Malaysia supaya kita semua jangan keliru- apa benda nya units itu. Tolonglah beritahu.
Bila di tanya pemberita apa units itu dia jawab units, just units. “They are units, backed by sovereign wealth funds. Benda apa pulak ni? Can’t the government be upfront and direct?
But I don’t know what are units. Please explain. Juga sila beritau- sovereign wealth funds mana pulak? Adakah Husni mahu gali lubang lain pulak dan menyebabkan banyak persoalan lagi.
Husni Hanazliah kata Putrajaya salah tafsir units yang diredeem atau ditebus oleh 1MDB dari Cayman Islands. Siapa salah tafsir?
Adakah maksud Husni - pegawai di kementerian kewangan tidak tahu membezakan antara wang tunai dengan benda yang disebut sebagai units. Malu nya pegawai di kementerian.dari KSP, TKSP, dan pegawai2 lain.
Rupa2 nya bukan wang tunai. Tapi units. Saya sendiri pun tak faham apa dia units. Dan Husni tidak menerangkan apa dianya units itu. Kalau kita belajar ekonomi dan saya diberitahu Husni pun belajar ekonomi- unit of account itu ialah duit.
Jadi apa dia units yang disebut Husni? Kertas siberhutang? sijil saham?, bon perbendaharaan? Token? Inikah yang dibayar oleh yang berhutang kepada 1MDB? Some form of debt papers denominated in US currency?
Membuat orang bertanya- mengapalah pandir sangat 1MDB menerima bayaran selain dari wang tunai? Bukankah PM Najib selalu kata cash is king? Apa jenis pengurusan dan lembaga pengarah yang menerima bayaran orang yang berhutang pada mereka dalam bentuk units dan bukan tunai?
Cerdik atau tidak? Sedangkan bukan main lagi cakap besar nya pengurusan 1MDB kata pengurusan mereka terdiri dari individu yang cerdik pandai. Dan lembaga pengarah 1MDB- bukan kah mereka pandai2 belaka?
Kenapa syarikat 1MDB menerima bayaran hutang mereka dalam bentuk units yang bukan tunai?
Siapa pula yang mengelirukan Putrajaya?
Jadi yang mengelirukan Putrajaya ialah pengurusan dan lembaga pengarah yang tidak menerangkan kepada Putrajaya, terutama kepada pegawai di Perbendaharaan- benda yang di tebus dan dibawa pulang ke Singapura itu bukan wang tunai USD. They are units, just units.
Dan bayaran dari tranche pertama yang digunakan oleh 1MDB untuk membayar Aabar dan faedah pinjaman – adakah juga dalam bentuk units? Saya harap Husni Hanazlah boleh menerangkan kepada semua.
Jika tidak, mana boleh tranche pertama dalam bentuk wang tunai USD tapi tranche kedua dalam bentuk units? Apa kena dengan kepala 1MDB?
PAC patut menyiasat apakah benda yang dimanakan ‘units’ oleh Husni Hanazliah yang digunakan untuk bayar faedah hutang dan membayar Aabar. Panggil Aabar dan pemberi hutang yang menerima bayaran dalam bentuk units keatas faedah pinjaman yang mereka berikan 1MDB.
Ini mesti kes pertama dalam dunia, peminjam menerima bayaran dalam bentuk units- apa lah agak nya yang disandarkan kepada USD. Mungkin units ini ukiran binatang yang diperbuat dari jade yang setiap satu dinilaikan dalam USD.
Tranche kedua, sebanyak US1.03billion, juga dalam bentuk units disimpan dalam BSI Singapore. Saya hanya tidak faham- jawapan yang diberi menyebut perihal dana atau funds. Bolehka dana atau funds itu ujud dalam bentuk selain dari wang tunai? Jika bukan dalam bentuk wang tunai, mengapa disebut dana dalam mata wang USA?
Jawapan dalam parlimen sahih menyebut matawang USA.
Kemudian, mustahil dana ini dalam bentuk selain dari wang tunai USD kerana jawapan yang diberi menyebut memudahkan pengeluaran wang- bukan pengeluaran units.
Kalau bukan hard cash, mengapa pula Bank Negara mahu mengawal pemindahan units yang bukan hard cash? Bank Negara mustahil mengawasi pemindahan dan pengeluaran units dari bank. Ianya suatu yang baru kepada mereka. Yang mereka jaga ialah pemindahan dan pengeluaran wang tunai.
Bahkan mereka peduli apa jika yang dipindahkan itu shares certificates, batu karang, patung jade atau apa pun. Kalau bukan hard cash, mereka tidak mengenakan syarat pengeluaran setiap transaksi wang…melebihi RM50 juta. Kalau yang disimpan itu units, maka tidak perlulah bank negara mengenakan apa2 syarat.
Jaganlah Huni Hanazliah menambah lagi penipuan dan pembohngan kepada rakyat.
Jika Putrajaya tidak dapat membezakan wang tunai dari units , bolehkah mereka ini memerintah negara?
Seperti ramai orang lain, saya juga tonton aksi Muhyidin dalam program latihan Biro Politik UMNO. Muhyidin ingat perkara 1MDB dan simpanan BSI ini perkara yang melucukan?
Perkara ini suatu yang serious yang disebabkan oleh kerajaan yang akan terkesan bukan sahaja kita tapi jenerasi yang akan datang.
Orang UMNO dalam program itu bertepuk pada ketika2 terplih dan mereka ketawa beramai ramai keatas ungkapan Muhyidin yang melucukan- dan ketawa diatas cubaan tunjuk smart dengan ejekan2 keatas diri sendiri.
Muhyidin berlagak macam budak2 yang suka kelahi dengan berkata buang lah! seolah olah nya dengan sacking them akan membuktikan kepada rakyat bahawa yang melakukan musiabh 1MDB ini hanya lembaga pengarah dan CEO.
Sedangkan PM Najib membersihkan lembaga pengarah dan CEO. Membuang mereka tidak membersihkan lumpur yang terpalit ke atas seluruh cabinet.- Dato' Mohd.Ariff Sabri bin Hj. Abdul Aziz@sakmongkol ak47
Is Husni pulling fast one with talk of new money?
cheers.
