Zahid Hamidi is in a fix – Nawawi Mohamad



When Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi decided to write a letter to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) deputy director Mark F.Giuliano, verifying that "Paul Phua Wei Seng is neither a member nor is he associated with the 14K Triad in Malaysia", supporting the gambling kingpin and contradicting an earlier report received by FBI from Malaysian police - in 2008 former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed that Phua Wei Seng was involved in triad activities in Malaysia - Zahid never thought that it would come back like a boomerang to haunt him.
Moreover the case is being tried in the US and this kind of correspondence should be confidential.

Thanks to the South China Morning Post who exposed the letter and as it has now been withdrawn from the court in the US by Putrajaya, this is proof that indeed there is such a letter.

Basically the letter contained two major aspects:
a) Zahid has a soft spot for Phua that he was willing to give his personal support to him. Surely, Zahid must have been briefed on who Phua is. Thus, if Phua is a nobody, Zahid would simply ignore the matter and would even give a strong reprimand to Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in trying to drag him (Zahid) into this murky situation;

We know what Musa informed us that the Malaysian police is tainted with politics, interference and links to underworld organisations. Now, with Zahid in charge of the Home Ministry, the said letter confirms what Musa said.

But did the Umno/BN government really used Phua’s services? Or Zahid added this in the letter simply to justify the need to support Phua?

If indeed Phua’s services were used, then the Umno/BN government is not to be trusted in taking care of our national security, having used such a shady character, because Phua could outsmart the government or simply pay off the government officials.
Then the whole country could be held at ransom. This is simply madness!

But if Zahid added the services given by Phua in the letter simply to justify his support, then this is personal. Thus Zahid alone has to explain what special connection he has with Phua.
Whichever way it may be, since Zahid wrote the letter, he has a lot to explain and if this issue is not resolved and closed soon, the Najib administration has to distance itself from Zahid because Zahid could be a liability.

The aspirants in Umno are also watching and hoping for any chance that this issue may blow up thus Zahid will have to go. Najib too could use this opportunity to solve his own problems with the 9M-NAA and the golfing holiday.

But how would Zahid clear his name in this matter? Find a scapegoat!

As for the rest of us Malaysians, make sure that Zahid would not rise further in the Umno hierarchy to become the future prime minister because we will all be at the mercy of the kingpins!
