It looks like Prime Minister Najib Razak is on his way out. Whether the next general election is called this year, 2012 or 2013 and whether BN secures a two-thirds parliamentary majority, Najib is unlikely to retain the UMNO presidency.
A concerted effort is now being made amongst the UMNO elite to oust him, even as they publicly profess support and smile indulgently at his Satu Malaysia clarion call. But make no mistake, the jury is in. The warlords know Najib is finished, he has lost too much credibility both inside and outside the country to be worthwhile to salvage as their leader, or even just as a 'front-man'.
