It would be taboo to shame the incoming prime minister, even though he may shame the nation.
A sensational report published by the well-respected French newspaper Liberation has got Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak sweating, after it revealed details of how a beautiful Mongolian translator, Altantuya Shaariibuu, was killed in Malaysia two years ago.Already, lawmakers in Parliament are questioning whether Malaysia should be led by the scandal-plagued Najib, who has been dogged by allegations of graft throughout his 33-year career and lately - of being involved in the ruthless and gruesome murder of Altantuya, whom many believe was his one-time mistress.
Although, the 55-year old has repeatedly denied the allegations, the speculation and the stories have refused to go away. To a large extent, Najib has himself and the Umno system to which he was born to blame.
In power since independence from British rule in 1957, Malaysia’s Umno-led government makes no bones about abusing and bullying federal institutions into carrying out the political will of its leaders. Unsurprisingly then that its credibility and those of its leaders, such as Najib, have plummeted to ground zero.
