“Of late, all pro-Najib bloggers seem to be in a limbo, with each having a unique opinion as to who should be blamed for Najib’s predicament”

Before I get into the part about the bloggers, I’d like to weigh in on an audio clip that is doing its rounds in the social media, suggesting that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his lawyers are complicit in a seemingly-sinister plot to paint Najib up as a victim of justice.
According to the narrator, Najib and his team were ready to throw in the towel long ago, and everything they did from the onset of the SRC final appeal to the hearing last Friday was part of a grand plan to gain public sympathy by convincing the people (and perhaps even Istana Negara) that the court is unfair towards him.
Do you know what I think of this?
Rubbish.
As far as I’m concerned, Najib, through his lawyers, was genuinely seeking to postpone the final appeal up to “three to four months” for reasons best known to him (refer video far below), apart from that which his lawyer had conveyed to the court, i.e., to allow the defence more time to study the case.
The legality of the postponement bid aside, it is highly likely that Najib was convinced that the Federal Court would be sympathetic towards him and (or) his predicament and allow the postponement, given that the High Court had previously granted him and his legal team several postponements.
However, when the Federal Court rejected the bid, Najib got panicky and kept changing his instructions to his lawyer, probably confusing both his lawyer and the Federal Court in the process.
It is here that the theatrics actually began – Najib made some very puzzling and questionable moves and began instigating people to falsely believe that the court was unfair towards him.
So, if you want to speculate that Najib began to perform some dramatics to gain public sympathy after the court rejected his postponement bid, I have no objections.
But if your theory is that “everything Najib and his lawyers did from the get-go (of the final appeal) was to gain sympathy,” that’s rubbish.
And now, on to the bloggers;
Of late, all pro-Najib bloggers seem to be in a limbo, with each having a unique opinion as to who should be blamed for Najib’s predicament.
Recently, one fellow began attacking the Chief Justice’s husband, and when that failed, he shifted his gaze towards Tun Dr Maahthir Mohamad, claiming that the former premier is the person responsible for nominating Tengku Maimun to the post.
My point is, so what?
So what if Mahathir nominated Tengku Maimun to the post? What does that prove? If indeed Tengku Maimun is a ‘problem’, why did Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri not have her replaced?
After all, isn’t Ismail Sabri the Prime Minister and isn’t he from UMNO, and didn’t Najib himself support the former’s appointment as Prime Minister?
See my point?
All said and done, if you want me to weigh in on why I think Najib wanted his final appeal hearing to be postponed, watch the video below:
