With open attacks from ex-PM for 22 years who seems to have much respect and influence, followed by some former and present Umno leaders, Najib is still holding the most powerful position. Looking back, Tun Dr Mahathir's legacy seems not to be helping him remove Najib but in helping Najib stay on. Such is the advantage of incumbency. Umno Baru was Tun's creation and he holds membership No.1, but he gave up membership before and rejoined after Pak Lah agreed to leave. But I don't think this is going to make any difference when dealing with Najib, who seems to be under the delusion he is fighting on as a Bugis warrior!
Unlike Pak Lah who was too sensitive to direct insult, Najib seems immune to all kinds of criticisms and insults. So now it is either up to the 191 division leaders (a.k.a. warlords) in Umno to remove him, or the MPs in Parliament to provide a 'No confidence' vote, or wait until the next General Election in two or three years time.
It is obvious to many that Najib is now depending on those who depend on him for positions and opportunities for enrichment, and not necessarily the grassroots in the party. We should not take statements of support as true support because since the division leaders were last elected, the situation has changed.
We have to put up with many lies in the form of public statements by PM and other ministers, but the mother of all lies was when the cash from Cayman Islands becomes 'asset' in the form of 'units'! What a transformation via one of PM's endless possibilities!
