AdilanClub : Dr M snipes at Najib: Umno now not well managed, "scared" to take in new people

Prime Minister Najib Razak will likely win elections expected this year, helped by a raft of political and economic reforms, but his party needs fresh blood to be able to hold on its own in the long-term, former leader Mahathir Mohamad said.

Najib has begun unwinding a decades-old affirmative action policy that favoured the Malay majority and eased tough security laws to win back the support of ethnic Chinese and Indian voters who had deserted the party in the last election in 2008.

"The PM's influence is now quite considerable," the 86-year-old Mahathir told Reuters in an interview in his futuristic Petronas Twin Towers office dotted with antique ceramics.

Tutor who saw injured maid: I was too scared to help

The picture above shows the area where the maid landed after falling
 from the second-floor unit where she was allegedly raped. A part-time
 tutor saw the maid from the window but what she saw frightened her
so much that she did not dare to go downstairs.

SINGAPORE - When the part-time tutor received a call from a student living in the same block about a woman falling to the ground floor, she ran to the window to look.

But what she saw frightened her so much that she did not dare to go downstairs.Instead, she passed a piece of cloth to her 20-year-old daughter, 17-year-old niece and a female student, and asked them to cover the woman, a maid, lying naked on the ground.

She told the court: “I asked my daughter if she dared to go downstairs and cover the woman. I was scared.”

Catch us if you can: Najib and Rosmah running scared

There is something about a court of law that scares Prime Minister Najib Razak and wife Rosmah Mansor. Why? Because in a court of law, anything you say will be recorded for public record and you would not dare, unless intentionally, lie in an open court.

So when the issue of calling the first couple to take the witness stand in the sodomy trial against Anwar Ibrahim came around, both Najib amd Rosmah took the easy way out - show us the subpoena!

The KL High Court was told they had refused to co-operate. Interviews are usually conducted to determine whether a witness will be called to testify in a trial. “They have refused to come to court, to be interviewed by the defence unless they were served with a subpoena,” Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden told the court.

Running Scared in Malaysia

The Malaysian government has pulled out all the stops to prevent an opposition rally this weekend. This week, army units conducted crowd control exercises with banners that said, "Disperse or we will shoot!" The police set up roadblocks and arrested Malaysians simply for wearing yellow T-shirts, the signature color of Bersih, a coalition of 62 nongovernmental organizations that demands changes in Malaysia's electoral system. To date, the police have arrested over 250 supporters of Bersih, claiming that they are "waging war against the king."
