Retirement | 20 Dec 2016 http://chedet.cc/?p=2371
1. Some
people seem to be annoyed that a 90+ man is not doing the natural thing for
people of 90 i.e. rest, play with grandchildren and prepare for the next world.
2. Yes,
I am not doing the right thing for a ninety year old. It is not always my
choice. I am responding to the appeals by numerous groups of Malaysian people
for me to do “something”.
3. Very
early after Najib took over the premiership a lot of people, mainly Malays but
also non-Malays seemed to be unhappy with Najib’s leadership and direction.
Small businesses and contractors had to fold up because they were unable to
compete.
4. Yes,
he was doing away with the alleged cronyism by me but they claim his cronyism
is working against them. The private sector could not be penetrated by them.
They needed Government’s positive discrimination.
5. When
Najib did away with affirmative action of the NEP they lost everything. And
they came to appeal to me.
6. Other
groups were not happy with his economic policies, his 1Malaysia slogan, his
foreign policies etc. They all came to ask me to “do something”.
7. I
did. I conveyed their criticisms to Najib. He did not respond at all.
8. Then
came the 1MDB affair. They pointed to all the wrongdoings that Najib did e.g.
borrowed 42 billion Ringgit at high interest and 10% commission, failed to do
due diligence when investing billions, kept money in dubious places, being too
close to Jho Low, a total outsider etc.
9. By
then I felt that something must be done to stop Najib. The country was losing
lots of money. I informed Najib I could not support him any longer. Then I
decided to resign from UMNO.
10. Now
it is no longer about people urging me to do something. Now I feel a need to
stop Najib from further damaging the country.
11. To
cut a long story short, I found that the rule of law has been nullified by
Najib. The IGP and the AG protect him from due process. Even Parliament has
been rendered toothless, incapable of representing the views of the people who
elected the members and totally incapable of having a vote of non-confidence
against Najib’s administration.
12. Najib
has not been deterred by the open accusation that he had stolen public money.
He is continuing with his disastrous line of action. He is borrowing even more
money despite not being able to service and repay the 42 billion Ringgit he had
borrowed for 1MDB.
13. He
is now borrowing 55 billion Ringgit for the East Coast Railway, and another 50
billion for the high-speed train. He is now going to build the Pan-Borneo Highway
costing 16 billion when it is known that the Government cannot meet the
budgeted expenses for all the Ministries.
14. The
country must certainly become bankrupt because there is no way we can pay this
huge debt. Alternatively we will have to sell all our assets to raise the
money.
15. Already
we are seeing some of our most valuable assets being sold. The TRX and Bandar Malaysia ,
Sungai Besi are two of the most valuable. But we will have to sell land for the
East Coast Railway. The sale of Edra is an example.
16. With
all these things happening it is hard for a ninety year old citizen just to sit
still and play with grandchildren. Yes I am preparing for the Akhirat but Allah
be praised, I still have time on my hand to do other things. And the other
things I can do is to lend some ideas on preventing the damages that is being
done to the country by Najib.
17. So
this old man will continue to contribute to the campaign to change the
government of Malaysia .
