Freetalk 27: Jail me if you dare
Is Dr. M a washout after his humiliating defeat in Kubang Pasu? Hardly. He's gonna keep hammering on.
I was there at Dr. M's impromptu press conference on Monday. Listen to the 3-minute podcast at www.klstream.com for a recap.
Meanwhile, responding from Helsinki to Dr Mahathir claims that divisional delegates were bribed to vote against him last Saturday, Umno president and PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said: "(Kedah Umno liaison chief) Mahdzir Khalid and Kubang Pasu Umno head Mohd Johari Baharum should know better. I leave it to them." Via Bernama:
"I still remember telling them not to bring in outsiders to 'disturb' the Umno members or the Kubang Pasu division.
"This is Kubang Pasu affairs, let the Kubang Pasu Umno members make their decision," he added.
And so starts the echo chamber among Umno stalwarts.
While I was out on assignment last week, Oon did a solo interview with Jason Lo. It was on the podcast yesterday.
Comments
Badawi is passing the buck again without answering the question. When he can recall instructing the leaders "telling them not to bring in outsiders to 'disturb' the Umno members", does Badawi now imply that Mahathir has suddenly become an 'outsider'? This is like 'Kacang lupakan kulit'!

The way Pak Lah answering this question.. Seem as if he knows what Kubang-Pasu UMNO divisions plans to do, even before the elections day..
Well, to say at least he is not denying TDM accusation is an understatement. Or this is another "elegent" way to say "Saya tak tahu"?

(The paragraph above is however my own speculation and fruits for thought. I have no evidence what so ever and it's certainly not an accusation/threat of any sort to any party/parties)

THe investigation should be done by an external person not biased to any parties..that should be more fair...

How can AAB just pass the buck?? Isn't he the UMNO President..and he is accountable for all matters under UMNO.
And to quote "
"I still remember telling them not to bring in outsiders to 'disturb' the Umno members or the Kubang Pasu division."
That means he knows.....otherwise how would you explain Radzi going back to see ducks and fishes at such a coincidental time.
Leaving the matter to (Kedah Umno liaison chief) Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid and Kubang Pasu Umno head Datuk Mohd Johari to investigate?? Hahahaha.hahahaha
With all due respect to AAB...."that certainly is a good joke.
