I'm pretty sure at least Ling was for a moment President of BN.

That old man just simply could not stomach any 'independent diversion' taken by the deputies whom he had anointed....for those whom he had 'blessed' to inherit his throne, then it is imperative that they do to his bidding to the last letter....it is like I owned you now, since I made you, hand picked among so many salivating and fiercely jostling. ( Thus it is all the more galling that his most treasured blue-eyed even dared to usurp the Emperor's throne instead of waiting patiently for his turn. ) <br /><br />Between Badawi and Anwar....who earned the most implacable, undying hatred from the grande old man ?<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-29769237303848884502014-04-17T08:35:54.523+08:002014-04-17T08:35:54.523+08:00There's no point attempting to paint Ghafar Ba...There's no point attempting to paint Ghafar Baba as some sort of esteemed DPM and UMNO Deputy President, brought down low by an evil Anwar Ibrahim.<br /><br />Now, I dislike Anwar Ibrahim's political maneuverings, but Ghafar Baba was really way over his depth in that position. <br /><br />Only Malaysia's sick political culture could lead Mahathir to appoint what was really a sick weakling to the 2nd highest position in the country. <br />Ghafar Baba should never have been appointed DPM, and should have been replaced as soon as possible.<br /><br />Mahathir's inability to tolerate any 2nd tier leader who may not follow "his way" has long lasting effects on the country - continuing until today. <br /><br />The first fallout was actually Musa Hitam but he did not suffer Anwar's fate because he voluntary resigned and did not attempt nefarious means to unseat Mahathir.<br />Anyone remember the 2Ms ? - they were much closer, at first, than Mahathir /Anwar ever were. <br />The propaganda tracts written on the 2Ms was more sickening and cloying than anything Ktemoc has ever highlighted on Mahathir/Anwar in the early days.<br /><br />Badawi was also appointed as an expected pliable weakling successor to do Mahathir's bidding after his "retirement". After Badawi went on his own path, Mahathir decided to bring him down. <br /><br />What Mahathir didn't count on was THAT led to March 8, 2008, and UMNO has never recovered from that.<br /><br />Kancilnoreply@blogger.com
