Trinity Rumours

Najib said “In Malaysia, we are never short of rumours. Talks of cabinet changes are rumours, elections are also rumours, and they are just rumours."

But rumours in Malaysia are seldom wrong.

Take the case of Altantuya’s death. If Altantuya was not taken to see Rosmah at their home in Jalan Duta the night before her death and was brazen enough to watch how the former was killed then there is no rumour.

If Tajuddin and Halim were not acting on behalf of Mahathir and Daim, then there is no rumour.

If Hishamuddin was not the one who killed Teoh Beng Hock, then there is no rumour.

If JJ was not arrogance and proud that he was the one who arranged the meeting and fine tune the deal between Najib and Anwar, then there is no rumour.

If Anwar’s house in Washington is invisible then there is no rumour.

If Azmin Ali is not Mahathir’s nephew and was given RM22 million, then there is no rumour.

If Employees Provident Fund and Kumpulan Wang Persaraan acquiring the office building in London for RM785.07 million, which in reality belong to UMNO but was put under trust and is now being sold back to us. And if the money has not been channeled into Anwar’s trust account in Washington and into the UMNO election bank which target at RM2 billion for the GE13th, then there is no rumour.

If Azmin Ali is not confident of being Menteri Besar of Selangor whether PKR or UMNO win in the GE13, then there is no cheating and rumour.

If Karpal Singh is given advance notice instead of wasting his energy and time in Sodomy 2, then there is no shouting match in court.

If DAP, PAS, MIC, MCA and the friendly coalitions are still dummies then there is rumour of SUICIDE.

Speculation of a ‘deal’
By Terence Netto

Meanwhile, Zaid began letting on he had heard a story, attributed to former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, that Anwar had purchased a house in Washington DC. Zaid had run into Nasharuddin Mat Isa, the PAS deputy president, in Dubai while on transit to London. The Backok MP asked if Zaid he had heard Anwar had bought a house in Washington. Zaid said he heard the story from Daim.

Nasharuddin, leader of the faction in his party, said to be interested in talking to UMNO and a rival of Husam Musa, reputedly a proxy of Anwar’s in PAS, was transiting in Dubai to or from Tanzania for a parliamentary conference.

Into the hothouse of speculation and puzzlement over Anwar’s surreptitious meetings with Abdullah and then Najib, the rumoured purchase of a house in Washington DC only served to stoke speculation that a ‘deal’ was being cut in which reprieve for Najib from the drip-drip of corrosive revelations by swashbuckling blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin over the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case would be exchanged for dropping of the sodomy charge, accompanied by exile for Anwar.

Within PKR, the faction maddened with frustration over Anwar’s cat-and-mouse game over internal party reform, gave their own twist to this stream of fevered speculation.

They said Anwar was kaput, finito, that he was angling for a way out of the sodomy charge, and that the faster he repaired to his Washington residence the better for PKR.
