'PM's aide sabotaged Najib-Dr M dialogue'
The Umno-linked NGO which organised the 'Nothing2Hide' dialogue on 1MDB for Najib Abdul Razak has blamed the prime minister's aide for the no-show that has turned into a major embarrassment for the prime minister.
Malaysian Volunteer Lawyers Association (Sukaguam) chairperson Khairul Anwar Rahmat said today the aide had prevented Najib from attending the event so as to prevent him from crossing paths with former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is the prime minister's fiercest critic.
"When Najib was on the way to the venue and was advised by the inspector-general of police about the situation at PWTC, the organiser still believed that Najib should attend to prove he is big-hearted and was ready to meet with Mahathir and speak on any matter.
"We were convinced that even if the programme were to be postponed on police advice, the meeting between Najib and Mahathir should still go on in a private room to prove the start of a new chapter and to calm down their respective supporters.
"Unfortunately, the aide worked to block the prime minister's attendance, conveyed inaccurate information, and made the situation worst by exaggerating the matter to the prime minister that he would supposedly be mocked if he turned up at PWTC," he said.
Khairul, who is also Johor Umno deputy youth chief, said there was never a security concern if the duo were to meet in a private room and Najib should not have been prevented from coming.
Najib's no-show turned into a major embarrassment as he was seen as 'chickening out' and this was made worse when Mahathir, who was only there as a guest, took over the stage in the prime minister's absence.
Mahathir proceeded to criticise Najib in his speech but which lasted less than 10 minutes as police blocked him from continuing, a scene captured by the media and has since gone viral on the Internet.
"Therefore, it is true when it is said that those who sully Najib's image are not outsiders but those from among his own people," said Khairul.
'Najib accepts our explantion'
He said the if the meeting had happened and photographs of Najib and Mahathir having coffee were circulated, it would have created a 'feel good' factor even if the dialogue did not go on.
"But there are some quarters that don't want to see a change in the political landscape and didn't want our plan yesterday to succeed as the continued battle between Najib and Mahathir would benefit them," he said.
Prior to the event, Khairul said the organiser had already met with Najib's aides and had prepared for various scenarios including the one if Mahathir were to attend.
"We believe the situation would not have turned out as such if our original agenda was not disturbed too much by the aide and his associates," he said.
As such, Khairul said it was unfair for Sukaguam and other NGOs involved in organising the event to be made scapegoats for the resulting fiasco.
Khairul added he had met Najib yesterday evening to explain the situation.
"From the prime minister's face, he appears to have taken it well and understood what I wanted to convey.
"But I hope he will take stern action against the individual responsible as well as his associates," he said.
Khairul also warned the unnamed aide against turning Sukaguam into a scapegoat, saying that he was prepared to expose this person together with evidence.
He also clarified Sukaguam's claim that Mahathir was not invited, stating that the former premier was only supposed to be present as a guest and not a speaker.

Now this is a serious matter.
You cannot easily identify the culprit because Najib Razak surrounds himself with one too many idiots, both local and foreign.
Some used-to-be intelligent and straight-arrows have also turned into domesticated pussies after stepping into the Prime Minister's Office. Who could be the PM's idiot who has successfully re-branded his boss?
Maybe Najib Razak should personally lodge a police report so that the Inspector General himself could take up the case and try to identify who sabotaged the event and effectively exposed Najib as THE wimp of the nation.
Maybe the IGP could take a look at all those CCTV recording in PWTC or consult the OCPD who went upstage to ask Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop addressing the #Nothing2Hide crowd because maybe the OCPD did speak to the PM's aide before he was asked to stop Tun Dr M... maybe.
Certainly idiots must be on the run after the shit has hit the ceiling.
Khas untuk pejuang-pejuang cyber yang telah sehari suntuk berputar-putar dalam percubaan untuk memutarbelit kebaculan Perdana Menteri yang terserlah semalam, sila berhenti berputar dan cuba tolong pihak Polis mengenalpasti 'anasir' yang dikatakan telah menjatuhkan kemaluan... oops air muka Najib di mata dunia pada pagi Jumaat.
#Nothing2Hide #BeraniKeranaBenar
p/s Hakikatnya bermacam taktik dan teknik sedang digunakan dalam percubaan untuk mengembalikan kemaluan yang telah hilang itu. :-)
