Najib, sitting in his KL mansion, may save Rafizi a Melaka knockout
NOVEMBER 12 — As they say, the universe works in mysterious ways.Rafizi Ramli and his merry men — and women...
On November 12, the universe seems to conspire in favor of Rafizi Ramli and his team in Bersama as they might benefit from Najib Razak's recent release from home arrest in KL. Initially, the fine of RM50 million for Najib's departure from Kajang Prison in 2024 led to a significant amount of pooled funds aimed at helping him, a factor that may now pay dividends for Bersama.
The prolonged legal drama surrounding the payment only served to bolster the perception of the opposition party. The timeline of events began with the Pardons Board's decision on November 6, and the subsequent dissolution of DAP's grip on power. DAP's history with 1MDB and Najib has been marked by schadenfreude, as they reveled in Najib's prison term while he was in opposition.
However, the tables seem to be turning, with DAP's support potentially shifting towards Bersama due to dissatisfaction with the current party leadership. In the upcoming election on November 14, Bersama, despite lacking a charismatic leader, could secure up to three or four seats by garnering a significant share of protest votes from DAP supporters.
This shift could help Bersama achieve a level of respectability, potentially benefitting Rafizi Ramli and his team for the next general election.
