7 reasons Dr M has withdrawn support for Najib, says report
Published: 21 August 2014



Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad sent a letter with seven demands to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak this month, which the latter ignored. – The Malaysian Insider pic, August 21, 2014.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has listed seven reasons, from direct cash aids to trade pacts, which have upset him enough to withdraw support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak this month.

News portal Asia Sentinel today quoted a businessman with strong Umno links as saying that Dr Mahathir had sent a letter to Najib which reportedly listed seven demands.

However, Najib instead sent Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor to meet Dr Mahathir and ask him to withdraw the letter, but the former prime minister refused.



"Dr Mahathir refused to withdraw the letter and a stalemate has resulted in a standoff between the past and present premiers of Malaysia," Asia Sentinel said.
The Umno general assembly is scheduled to be held in November, which led Dr Mahathir to increase his campaign against Najib.

Asia Sentinel said Dr Mahathir's anger had been simmering even before the 13th general election last year, in which Barisan Nasional performed badly.

In the May 5, 2103 polls, BN lost the popular vote to Pakatan Rakyat for the first time in 44 years, although the ruling coalition still formed the government.

Dr Mahathir's criticism of Najib's administration has been published widely and reported by independent news portals although the mainstream media chose to ignore it.

Among the demands made by Dr Mahathir include reforming the 1Malaysia Development Berhad sovereign fund, which is saddled with debts of up to RM36 billion.

Dr Mahathir also complained that national oil and gas conglomerate Petronas was not giving enough contracts to Bumiputeras.

Asia Sentinel reported that Dr Mahathir's resignation from Petronas as its adviser in October 2013 was not because of health reasons, as reported, but because of his irritation with Najib.

"Dr Mahathir also disliked Najib being too accommodating with the United States due to the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiations."

Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister of 22 years was reported to be offended that he had not been invited to attend a dinner with US President Barack Obama.

"This was during Obama's visit to Malaysia in April this year when Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was invited for the dinner but Dr Mahathir was not," it said.

Dr Mahathir also disagreed with Putrajaya giving out 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) to low-income groups as it broke the national budget.

BR1M payments this year are reported to have totalled RM4 billion, benefitting some six million people.

Dr Mahathir also demanded that ailing national carrier Malaysia Airlines be turned over to tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary.

Despite losing billions of ringgit, Malaysia Airlines has endured a wretched 2014, losing two commercial aircraft in which more than 500 lives were lost.

Asia Sentinel also said Dr Mahathir blamed Najib for the breakdown in racial and religious tensions in Malaysia, which have worsened over time.

"However, there is an irony here as Dr Mahathir has backed Malay rights group Perkasa, headed by Datuk Ibrahim Ali," the portal said.

"erkasa has made numerous incendiary statements about Malay racial superiority and special rights, on which Putrajaya has remained silent."

Although Dr Mahathir has been away from the corridors of power since he stepped down in 2003, Asia Sentinel said that the 89-year-old had a formidable track record.

"Dr Mahathir forced the ouster of former prime ministers Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Hussein Onn.

"During his tenure in office, Dr Mahathir has seen off challenges from the likes of Tengku Razaleigh Tengku Hamzah, Tun Musa Hitam and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

"All of these individuals were once finance or deputy prime Ministers who had attempted to unseat Dr Mahathir only to come up short at the final hurdle." – August 21, 2014.

Mahathir’s Case Against Najib Detailed
Written by John Berthelsen
WED,20 AUGUST 2014


Now see here, Najib

Former premier lists specific reasons for his withdrawal of support for serving PM

As long as two to three months before former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad publicly attacked his successor, Najib Tun Razak, through his blog, the former premier sent Najib a letter bristling with a list of demands to change his ways.

Mahathir’s irritation has sputtered behind the scenes since before the disastrous May 2013 general election, in which the ruling Barisan Nasional lost the popular vote for the first time in 44 years although it retained its majority in parliament via gerrymandering.  Since that time, bloggers deployed by Mahathir have made general attacks on the sitting prime minister, who took office in 2009 with Mahathir’s approval.

But for the first time he personally criticized Najib in his blog, Che Det, saying on Aug. 16 that he had withdrawn support.  The campaign against Najib has been mounted now in advance of the November United Malays National Organization general assembly, where it appears Najib has an unassailable position as party president.

Mahathir was scheduled to leave tonight for London, where Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor have been for the past several days after a holiday that began three weeks ago after Najib’s speech to families of the doomed MH17 airliner, which was brought down by a rocket over disputed territory in Ukraine on July 17.

In the letter to Najib, quoted to Asia Sentinel by a businessman with links to UMNO, Mahathir reportedly listed seven demands. Najib is said to have dispatched Tengku Adnan Tenku Mansor, the secretary-general of the United Malays National Organization, to see Mahathir, asking him to withdraw the letter.  Mahathir refused, however, sources say.  In the intervening weeks, nothing has happened.

Since Mahathir’s attack, the story has been playing out behind the scenes of the mainstream media, which are controlled by the political parties that make up the national ruling coalition. They have gone black, carrying only praise for Najib without mentioning Mahathir’s assault. Instead, the papers have merely included statements of support for Najib from leaders such as Foreign Minister Hishamuddin Hussein and others without mentioning the reason the support is needed.

Meanwhile the story has lit up the Internet, with independent news portals having a field day while Mahathir’s blogger allies including Rocky’s Bru, Outsyed the Box and others have defended him.

The demands listed in the letter included one that Najib reform the controversial 1MDB sovereign fund, which is deeply in debt after having funded a long string of controversial projects. It is said to be a major scandal sizzling out of sight and involving controversial Chinese playboy Taek Jho Low and Najib’s wife, Rosmah Mansor.

The octogenarian former premier also complained that not enough contracts let by Petronas, the national energy company, were going to build up Bumiputeras, mostly ethnic Malays, but instead were being let to more neutral parties. At one point in October of 2013, Mahathir actually resigned from Petronas, saying his doctors had advised him to slow down. But the real reason is said to have been his anger with Najib’s performance.

He also accused Najib of being too friendly with foreign governments including the United States over the bid to join President Barack Obama’s TransPacific Partnership Agreement free trade pact, and Singapore for bending to Singapore’s wishes and cancelling a controversial crooked bridge between the two countries over the Singapore Strait. He was also said to be miffed that Mahathir’s immediate successor, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, attended a dinner with Obama during the latter’s Malaysia visit but that he wasn’t invited.

He also objected to the so-called one-off BRIM cash handouts that the government announced to households making less than RM3,000 (US$847) per month in 2012 as an election sweetener to alleviate the burden of a rising cost of living for low-income earners, saying it was breaking the budget. It ended up costing the treasury as much as RM4 billion.

He demanded that Malaysia Airlines, which is 70 percent owned by the Khazanah Nasional sovereign fund, be turned over to the private sector to attempt to right it after two disastrous crashes that took the lives of more than 500 people and which is almost moribund, losing billions of dollars. The private sector is said to be Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhairy, a longtime Mahathir crony who became the country’s richest Bumi tycoon, largely through government contracts.

Finally, Mahathir criticized Najib over the breakdown in racial and religious relations in the country, which have grown progressively more poisonous by the year.  That seems to be a striking obtuseness on Mahathir’s part, since he has backed the Malay-supremacy NGO Perkasa, headed by firebrand Ibrahim Ali, and has made incendiary statements about racial superiority on his own. Prior to the 2013 general election, he sought to lead a major rally on May 13, the anniversary of 1969 communal riots that took  the lives of hundreds.  Najib forced the cancellation of the rally.

Allies say Mahathir’s aim is not to bring down Najib, but to apply enough pressure to force him into making deep changes in the way the government is being run. However, at the age of 89, having been out of power since 2003, and with few remaining allies in UMNO, it is questionable at this point how much clout he still has.

However, he has a formidable record, having forced the ouster of Tunku Abdul Raman and Hussein Onn as prime ministers before his own 22 year period in office, beat back challenges by UMNO stalwarts Tengku Razaleigh, the Finance Minister, and both Musa Hitam and Anwar Ibrahim as his deputy prime ministers, all of whom attempted to unseat him,  and then forced the departure of the successor he picked, Abdullah Badawi.  He is expected to mount a daunting campaign against Najib when the two return from overseas.
