Turmoil In Malaysia After Prime Minister Mahathir's Shock Resignation

 

It's being described a shock resignation by the world's oldest elected leader. The 94-year old Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, who returned to power in 2018, announced his resignation on Monday in a mere two-line statement offering no details.

 

He was asked to stay on as interim leader by the country's king upon his resignation at 1pm local time. It follows a weekend of political turmoil, which will now continue this week as the question of a new government remains hanging in the balance. As Al Jazeera reports:

 

Mahathir's decision follows a weekend of political wrangling, after it was reported on Sunday night that his party was planning to form a new government that would exclude his anointed successor, Anwar Ibrahim.

 

…Anwar also said that Mahathir has no plans to join with anyone from the previous ruling coalition he defeated to try to form a new government.

 

When asked if Mahathir was responsible for the current political turmoil, Anwar blamed "those within my party and outside using his name."

 

The crisis was sparked reportedly upon Mahathir’s supporters within his own "Pact of Hope" coalition attempting to form a new coalition allegedly aimed to prevent the appointment of his agreed successor, Anwar Ibrahim.

 

Anwar and Mahathir had in 2018 joined forces despite their rocky political relations to defeat a notoriously corruption-plagued government in the polls.

 

For the time being it's expected that Malaysia's constitutional monarch will play a key role, with options to invite a leader to form a new administration, or alternately call for a fresh general election.

 

There's rumors that Mahathir himself may be behind the drive to form a new coalition in order to later more firmly solidify his power.

US Elites Have Destroyed America

 

Transcript:

The story of American decline is the story of an incompetent ruling class. You'll hear many self-serving explanations for it. But the truth is, it's that simple.

The people in charge inherited an industrial superpower with unchallenged military dominance. In a little more than a generation, they squandered all of it.

In exchange for short-term profits, bigger vacation homes and cheaper household help they wrecked what they did not build.

They outsourced entire sectors of our economy to China. They imported a serf class to drive down wages, and they crippled the middle class while doing it.

They ran up trillions of dollars in unpayable debt. They turned the finest universities in the world into a joke. They watched from their decadent little bubbles of affluence as families, faith and public decency died in this country and they laughed because they didn't care.

 

How people so awful wound up in charge of a nation as great as ours is a question historians will have to answer – and they will, someday.

But at this point, it's clear the population has grown tired of it. Donald Trump's election is one clear sign of that. The rise of Bernie Sanders is another.

The ruling class in other words, is losing its grip on power and the ruling class members can feel it. They can smell it. It terrifies them.

 

Their first response was denial. It always is. They retreated into fantasy.

They wondered why can't we be just like Joe Biden and make it 2009 again? Well, that didn't work and when it didn't, they reverted to their governing instinct, which is authoritarianism.

 

They stopped trying to convince the public of anything and instead decided to scare them. Fearful people are easier to control.

 

You saw it on the front page of their newspaper Friday morning – The New York Times. “Lawmakers are warning that Russia is meddling to re-elect Trump,” read the headline. Inside the story, there was nothing – no evidence, no detail, not even a coherent set of accusations.

 

But it was enough to alert the morons on cable news. It was time to do their job, which is now and always to run interference for the people in charge.

 

Now remember, most of the people on television have no idea what they're saying, even as they're saying it.

 

They're just reading the scripts that were written for them by some 23-year-old women's studies major from Wesleyan – somebody who knows even less than they do.

 

On MSNBC, host Chris Matthews said: “It's official. Russia has endorsed the reelection of President Donald Trump, who is trying desperately right now to keep that matter secret.”

 

Also on MSNBC, former CIA Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash said: “If the Russians are attacking our election processes, and they're doing so to benefit Donald Trump, I think frankly, the president welcomes it. He wants it.”

 

On CNN, host Don Lemon said: “So as bad as it is … the Russians are back at it. Trying to help Trump get reelected. It's far worse that the president of the United States is – he is trying to cover it up.”

 

On MSNBC, host Lawrence O’Donnell said: “The president is a Russian operative. That sounds like the description of a bad Hollywood screenplay, but it is real. And it is Vladimir Putin's greatest achievement. This is one of those shocking news days if you retain the capacity to be shocked in the Trump era by the Trump regime, which might be better labeled the Trump-Putin regime.”

 

So these people claim the president of the United States has colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin to steal an election. No, not just the last one, but the next one, too. Be afraid, says Don Lemon, be very afraid.

 

Yet the public doesn't seem especially afraid. Maybe they've heard it before somewhere. Their lack of panic is deeply distressing to the Democratic Party, which is counting on another Red Scare sometime between now and November.

 

So Brian Williams – trustworthy Brian Williams – stepped in to scold America for not being more terrified.
