A politician's instinct......

Haven't they ever heard of the BOSSES RULE?

Whats it again?

Rule no 1...The BOSS is ALWAYS right
Rule no 2...If the boss is WRONG, refer RULE No.1

So when Kamilia sensed that her boss was going down in flames (or rather smoking, but no flames yet), and
no doubt boosted by her own loyal supporters, she jumped on the chance at whacking a nail into
Sharizat's coffin.

This is not strange in politics, when you want to kill your enemy kill them swiftly. In the case that it
involves your own, 'borrow a sword' as what the chinese would say....so in this case, Kamilia was doubly quick to jump the gun by demanding that her boss step down as wanita supremo.

But I guess it was a little too soon, don't you think? More so that now their big boss has come out to say that
there is no need for Sharizat to leave....yet. Don't get the message wrong.

After all, Najib did say....She has taken the moral responsibility although there is no proof of any illegal deed on her part, but as the issue involves her family, she has taken that responsibility, a most honourable way to let go her position in the cabinet.

"Because the post of Wanita Umno head is an elected post and based on the principle that a perosn is innocent as long as there is no proof for an alleged offence, there is no reason for Shahrizat's Wanita Umno post to be sacrified or for her to let go of the post," he said.'

I heard someone who was standing next to me say that there goes the UMNO behaviour again, protecting their own. 

Whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty' ?

I can still recall the MCA rush to fill the void when CSL announced his resignation. And precisely then when a certain ex-MCA member had to 'tah-fei-kei' because he announced his own departure just before that erupted, and jumped ship to what he thought was going to be the next government.......

Politics....if only we were all politicians, then we would be seeing things from a different perspective.

Whatever it is, Sharizat will have to face her executioners, if and only if it is proven that her family had unfairly benefitted from the whole NFC saga.

Cow-a-bungle

I had to write about this, albeit a little late. Ever so often we hear about complaints and gripe about MACC/PDRM, and of course the Government.

So for those out there who almost always think that the government is trying to cover up stuff to protect its own, think again. I think that there will be no letting up on this, and please don't just credit those who are trying to burn this country.

From within, there is enough will power to fight these kinds of wrongdoing, starting from MACC. 

Yeah, yeah, I can also hear you grunting about the dead customs guy and that political aide, but did you question how they got themselves in the spot in the first place?

But judging from the whole cow-a-bungling issue, I think they should sort out the mess.

I am not sure about you, but I tried local beef lately and hell its good, but for RM250 million? Its way too much.........
