WHY did the READ : Kalimulah Hassan controlled ECM Libra funded MUDA led by Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman immediately rush to pressure Anwar Ibrahim's government that they should just take the short cut and slam the penal code on Zahid Hamidi's head.
OBVIOUSLY, there are extremely powerful people behind the scenes who have been using the media and social media to put public pressure on Zahid Hamidi to either find himself guilty of all charges or better still to quit the UMNO presidency.
AN immediate beneficiary would certainly be Khairy Jamaluddin, the guy who told us that he would be Prime Minister by the age of 40 but now nearing 50 years of age, he is stuck as a podcast hero.
KHAIRY Jamaluddin would certainly benefit if Zahid Hamidi goes bonkers and commits political hara kiri, but Khairy Jamaluddin's hands in this case are nor darkened enough to warrant jail time.
THOSE who should fear the possibility of jail time from this entire episode are Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin Yassin and to the lesser extent Ismail Sabri, while the former AG Tommy Thomas will most likely wiggle his way out of it.
IF the previous Attorney General had READ : told Ismail Sabri the same thing that he told Anwar Ibrahim, then we are in for political conspiracy of the highest level to take out the UMNO president.
TO the layman, taking out Zahid Hamidi of course, equals to advantage Bersatu, but there is more to this then just Bersatu.
A comprehensive probe will most likely also have to look at the amount of UMNO assets transfered out to individuals who are billionaires today, albiet billionaires that are having sleepless nights because Anwar Ibrahim is the Prime Minister.
THE probe , may eventually help Najib Razak get a new trial, which may result in aother important players in the 1MDB fiasco being charged, but will it do enough for the Courts to opine Najib Razak is innocent of all charges, is a different ball game all together
