Mahathir - vindictive, vengeful & venomous to the last drop

Mahathir's manouver for Najib not to attend coronation

Daulat Tuanku!

Despite hue and cry over resistance by a Chinese printing company to give workers off day, all plans for the official installation of the new Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong went according to schedule and ran smoothly.

All the seatings were in place last night according to Tuanku Abdullah wishes to be done in accordance with gazetted protocol.

The front row should be meant for Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir and wife, seated next is the Deputy Prime Minister and husband, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim and followed by former Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib and wife, Datin Seri Rosmah.

Sources claimed there was a bit of commotion when a member of the royal family checked at night to find someone pulled a fast one to place Najib's seat in the back row.

protocol for sitting list

Palace was not pleased and insisted they are above politics. The seat should be arranged in accordance with the government gazetted protocol.

Seats were rearranged accordingly and it was left untouched till around 7 AM this morning when PMO official came in.

The officer requested Najib's seat be moved and placed in the Orang Besar Pahang row. As Dato Shahbandar of Pahang, Najib could be placed there.

However, he will be required to wear the ceremonial clothing of Dato Shahbandar. Time is too short to do as Najib has to be at the Istana Besar by 8.30 AM.

The person usually assist him in putting on the elaborate ceremonial samping had to brought over from Pekan. The common folks may not appreciate it, but in the royal court etiquette, Najib is expected to respect and adhere to the dress code.

The palace refused to compromised on the protocol and succumbed to a last minute stunt by Mahathir to disrespectfully get his way with the sovereign.

According to the source, the PMO official threatened that Mahathir will not attend this important leg of the installation program should he be seated with Najib within his vicinity.

It is either his vengeance towards Najib has not abated or he is too embarrassed to face Najib whose SRC case has yet to legally prove he committed anything wrong.

Mahathir knows that his whole PH government will collapse should he interfere and "force" the court to imprison Najib for abuse of power.

Vengeful?

Facebooker saw Mahathir was visibly annoyed

There is the possibility that Mahathir could be most uncomfortable to face two of his current political victims - Anwar and Najib - all at the same time.

The guilty conscience, if he has one, could be unbearable.

The only possible end to the impasse if for Najib to not attend. The gentleman he is Najib mengalah (Malay for gave in).

However, it will not be the last from the keling mamak son of a Kerala Mayali. One will expect his media officer and propaganda team to pre-empt and hurl Najib with insults for disrespecting the Agong by his non-attendance.

The Ratu Nagas and Parpukaris will accuse Najib as coward to face up to Mahathir. Will not be surprise Mahathir himself will pass some snide remarks.

However, it is only expected of a Prime Minister under pressure, who kept going abroad, wasting RM14 million taxpayers' money, and not brought back anything but words, sales of assets and more debts.

Mahathir is in a quarrelsome mode and is in an open quarrel with Najib, Anwar, Lim Guan Eng, and Muhyiddin. It would not be a surprise if anyone speculate he is even quarrelling with his sons.

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak did not attend the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s installation ceremony today following confusion over seating arrangements.

Earlier, a Facebook user from Terengganu had claimed that Najib’s seat was changed as another individual allegedly did not want to be seated near the Pekan MP.

Abdul Rahim Hilmi Zakariya said the protocol by the palace dictates that Najib be seated four chairs away from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Rahim said the alleged attempt to change the seating arrangements was disrespectful and reeked of arrogance.

“It is unstatesmanlike,” he wrote on Facebook.

He went on to claim that Najib was moved to another seat reserved for the “Orang Besar Pahang”.

When contacted, an aide confirmed that Najib did not attend the installation after finding out about the change in seating arrangements.

“But we will wait for Datuk Seri’s response,” he told FMT.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister’s Office said it was not involved in the seating arrangements.

“The seating arrangements and protocol are under the palace,” the office said.

Kerbau lah. What a mean hearted man who shows us his vengeful behaviour towards Najib. Maybe there is some truth in allegations that he OVER-fixes Najib up.
