When Mahathir appointed Abdullah to be his successor few years ago, he expected Abdullah to be a nice yes man and listen to his commands . But Abdullah refused to do so. This has angered Mahathir and he wanted Abdullah to step down, to give way to Najib, hoping that Najib will be obedient to him and tow the line and protect his interests which he acquired over many decades.
But Najib has his own personal problems and he dares not challenge Abdullah at this moment because Abdullah has a trunk card in his hand. Mahathir is an intelligent person. He must know the reasons why Najib dares not challenge Abdullah Badawi.
Mahathir is very frustrated. He wants Najib to be a man of courage and he wants Najib to fight for president post in the coming UMNO election.But Najib hesitated.
Mahathir is worried that Anwar will be the next prime minister. He is afraid that Anwar might take revenge on him once Anwar becomes prime minister.
Had Mahathir insisted on the rule of laws and respected judiciary when he was in power , he needs not fear Anwar because the laws will protect him if he commits no crimes. Now Mahathir is worried about his own shadow. What a pity!
