Minister's 'resignation' mother of all sandiwara

Anonymous_40f4: Prime Minister Najib Razak and his minister, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, can explain to Umno members, and yet they refused to discuss the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal in Parliament.

One day before the parliamentary session resumed, the government charged Shahrizat's husband in court so that the House speaker could declare Parliament cannot discuss the issue because it would be subjudice. This is a government ruled by deceit and cheating.

Cloudnine: Shahrizat Abdul Jalil has not resigned. Her senatorship runs out on April 8. Shahrizat is making a shameless claim. It shows she is power-hungry, unwilling to let go even when it hurts Umno.

Fair Play: As the rakyat already know, this is the mother of all sandiwara. By 'resigning' as a minister when her term is up as a senator is last-ditch effort at damage control as there is a zero chance that the PM would take the risk of reappointing her for another term.

Armageddon: Why only explain to the Umno cronies? We expect her to explain to the public as to how her family ended up with the RM250 million loan.

We don't care if she is still a minister or Wanita chief. We only care about our money, which has been abused by politicians.

Tailek: It's very simple. Najib and Umno are calling it a resignation so that the PM will not be left with the decision of whether to renew her senatorship for another term.

Najib doesn't want to have to make that decision because if he renews it, then he will be unpopular with the vast majority of the rakyat. And if he doesn't renew it, he will be unpopular with many Wanita Umno members.

The PM is not decisive as usual. He should have removed her months ago when the NFC scandal broke because it is indefensible.

Cala: Is Umno Wanita wing's assistant secretary Rosni Sohar defending the impossible? Of course, she is.

When the whole nation is taking Shahrizat to task over the NFC fiasco on suspected corruption, Rosni is behaving as if everything is under control, and that the predicament has nothing to do with her chief.

As we know it, the concept of ‘bounded rationality and individual opportunism' explains fully Shahrizat's conduct over the NFC affair. For Rosni to defend Shahrizat in whatever way, it will not distance the latter from the criminal act.

Ksn: Is there something further to explain in Shahrizat's departure from her ministerial position on the expiry of her term as senator?

Did somebody ask for an explanation from her or the PM about it? I hope the explanation is not as bizarre as her departure being called a resignation.

What the country is waiting for eagerly and impatiently are explanations on the steps being taken by the government to recover the RM250 million loan to NFC, freezing the properties bought using the loan, and the slow pace of arrest and prosecution of those who had abused the loan and their so-called positions as directors of the company.

Can Najib provide these explanations, please?
