1MDB PM Najib and his Umno-led BN rattled by Dr M-Anwar reignited political tag-team?

This visual was propagated by the Opposition in GE13. The mega global 1MDB-linked alleged money laundering scandal now leads the background of this visual for GE14.

 1MDB PM Najib and his Umno-led BN rattled by Dr M-Anwar reignited political tag-team?

This was what online news portal malaysiakini reported: "Jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has called on Malaysians to embrace the spirit of korban (sacrifice) in the people’s fight against injustice and kleptocracy."

Anwar’s message to Opposition party leaders and Malaysians in general cannot be any clearer than that.

Anwar, who led Pakatan Rakyat (now Pakatan Harapan) to two historic successive general elections (GE12 and GE13 in 2008 and 2013 respectively), is making his sacrifice in jail today.

It’s akin to saying: “Don’t let my sacrifice in jail and loss of personal freedom go to waste!”

The two historic GEs saw Pakatan ending BN’s traditional two-thirds majority in Parliament in GE12 and BN losing the popular vote in Malaysia’s electoral history in GE13.

After humiliating BN in GE13, Anwar was convicted of committing sodomy for a second time, a conviction he maintains is politically motivated.

Malaysians still remember how Dr Mahathir Mohamad (Dr M) and Anwar performed when they were mandated by the rakyat (people) to administer the federal government some 20 years ago and showed positive economic results.

Is the real possibility of a Dr M-Anwar united Opposition front rattling 1Malaysia Development (1MDB) Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Umno-led ruling Barisan Nasiona (BN)? (read this for context: http://victorlim2016.blogspot.my/2016/09/is-1mdb-pm-najibs-umno-led-bn-imploding.html)

Is this political “nightmare” for BN the cause of the current verbal spat between Umno and its BN coalition partners, MCA, MIC and Gerakan?

This was Anwar’s message as reported by malaysiakini and reproduced by the Malaysian-banned online news portal Malaysia Chronicle:

"UNITE TO FIGHT NAJIB’S KLEPTOCRACY – ANWAR TELLS MUSLIMS IN AIDIL ADHA MESSAGE

Politics | September 12, 2016 by | 0 Comments



Jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has called on Malaysians to embrace the spirit of korban in the people’s fight against injustice and kleptocracy,

In his Aidil Adha message today, the PKR de facto leader spoke of the relevance today of the sacrifice of Nabi Ibrahim and his son Nabi Ismail in placing the love of God “above self and children”.

“This sacrifice in a broader context is our coming together to rise to oppose depravity, nepotism and cronyism, and now there is the latest term, kleptocracy

“This has been my struggle all this time,” said Anwar in a joint message with his wife and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The proof, he said, is Umno that is “fractured today, and all those who are leaving Umno say the party has deviated from its struggle for religion, race and country” and those in power are only concerned with enriching themselves.
Anwar urged the people to “fight evil, persecution and widespread corruption in the country”.

He said the rakyat should not remain silent against rulers who are cruel to the people, who oppress them with all kinds of unreasonable taxes such as the Goods & Services Tax (GST), who plunder the nation’s wealth, and who shame the nation in the international arena, citing the 1MDB scandal.

After all, he said, God commands the faithful to “correct all evil with hand, words, or at least in heart”.

Wishing the nation a happy Aidil Adha, he reminded all to “live in moderation, and be thrifty in spending”.
