Najib bites the hand that fed him

Dr Mahathir Mohamad had better watch out! His legacy is about to be reclaimed by Najib Abdul Razak. Mahathir's protégé is like a runaway train, and is unstoppable. Neither he, former cabinet ministers, nor the opposition, are anywhere near ousting Najib. Najib is ‘The Chosen One’ .

First. Najib’s bid to cling on to power was made into a personal conquest when he removed Mukhriz, the former Kedah menteri besar. Kedah is Mahathir’s domain, but Najib trumped him.

Second. Najib now claims that he saved Mahathir’s hide when the original Umno was deregistered in 1988. Mahathir was seen as a pariah in the eyes of the world when a High Court judge declared Umno to be an illegal party because of the cheating in an internal election.
