Datuk Seri Najib sebok dengan usaha memajukan ekonomi. Namun kejayaan ekonomi semata mata tidak akan menjamin kemenangan pilihanraya.
Lihat sahaja rekod politik John Major. Rekodnya bagus tapi dia kalah pilihanraya.
It was during Major's premiership that the British economy recovered from the recession of 1990–1992. John Major wrote in his auto-biography that, "During my premiership interest rates fell from 14% to 6%; unemployment was at 1.75 million when I took office, and at 1.6 million and falling upon my departure; and the government's annual borrowing rose from £0.5 billion to nearly £46 billion at its peak before falling to £1 billion".[
Namun , John Major tewas apabila gagal menangani "sleaze political acts " dalam Kerajaan dan Parti beliau.
" At the 1993 Conservative Party Conference, Major began the "Back to Basics" campaign, which he intended to be about the economy, education, policing, and other such issues, but it was interpreted by many (including Conservative cabinet ministers) as an attempt to revert to the moral and family values that the Conservative Party were often associated with. "Back to Basics", however, became synonymous with scandal, often exposed in lurid and embarrassing detail by tabloid newspapers such as The Sun. In 1992 David Mellor, a cabinet minister, had been exposed as having an extramarital affair, and for accepting hospitality from the daughter of a leading member of the PLO. The wife of the Earl of Caithness committed suicide amongst rumours of the Earl committing adultery. Stephen Milligan was found dead having apparently auto-asphyxiated whilst performing a solitary sex act (his Eastleigh seat was lost in what was to be an ongoing stream of hefty by-election defeats). David Ashby was 'outed' by his wife after sleeping with men. A string of other Conservative MPs, including Alan Amos, Tim Yeo and Michael Brown, were involved in sexual scandals. Other debilitating scandals included "Arms to Iraq" – the ongoing inquiry into how government ministers including Alan Clark (also involved in a unrelated scandal involving the revelation of his affair with the wife and both daughters of a South African judge) had encouraged businesses to supply arms to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, in breach of the official arms embargo, and how senior ministers had, on legal advice, attempted to withhold evidence of this official connivance when directors of Matrix Churchill were put trial for breaking the embargo.
Another scandal was "Cash for Questions", in which first Graham Riddick, and David Tredinnick accepted money to ask questions in the House of Commons in a newspaper "sting", and later Tim Smith and Neil Hamilton were found to have received money from Mohamed Al Fayed, also to ask questions in the House. Later, David Willetts resigned as Paymaster General after he was accused of rigging evidence to do with Cash for Questions.
Defence Minister Jonathan Aitken was accused by the ITV investigative journalism series World In Action and The Guardian newspaper of secretly doing deals with leading Saudi princes. He denied all accusations and promised to wield the "sword of truth" in libel proceedings which he brought against The Guardian and the producers of World In Action Granada Television. At an early stage in the trial however, it became apparent that he had lied under oath, and he was subsequently (after the Major government had fallen from power) convicted of perjury and sentenced to a term of imprisonment.
Major attempted to draw some of the sting from the financial scandals by setting up public inquiries – the Nolan Report into standards expected in public life, and the Scott Report into the Arms to Iraq Scandal.
Although Tim Smith stepped down from the House of Commons at the 1997 General Election, both Neil Hamilton and Jonathan Aitken sought re-election for their seats, and were both defeated, in Hamilton's case by the former BBC Reporter Martin Bell, who stood as an anti-sleaze candidate, both the Labour and LibDem candidates withdrawing in his favour, amidst further publicity unfavourable to the Conservatives.
Sleaze bermaksud "immoral, sordid and corrupt behaviours". Gerakan "anti sleaze" sedang berlaku di Malaysia. Di UK , gerakan ini telah tewaskan John Major walaupun beliau cemerlang memacu ekonomi Britain.
Mungkinkah ini nasib Najib kelak? Kalah pilihanraya sebab tak ambik tindakan terhadap "sleazy politics"
Harap-harap tidak. Saya mahu Najib menang pilihanraya dan diberi peluang dan masa untuk "reform" dan "transform" Malaysia.
Untuk itu eloklah Najib bertindak segera umpamanya :-
* Pinta Pengerusi SC letak jawatan serta merta kerana skandal corporate governance melibatkan suaminya dan tindakan mahkamah di ambil ke atas suaminya
* Pinta Nor Mohd Yakcop lepaskan jawatan untuk ambil tanggungjawab moral terhadap kes rasuah Setiausaha Politiknya
* Dakwa pegawai SPRM yang disabitkan dalam lapuran Suruhanjaya DiRaja. Mereka mungkin tidak bersalah atau mungkin bersalah. Namun biarlah Mahkamah menentukannya.
* Rosmah memang ada peranan yang boleh dilaksanakan untuk faedah Negara, namun kerana banyak komen negatif dalam blog, eloklah legalisekan peranan ini dengan membawa ke Parlimen Akta Tugas-Tugas Rasmi Isteri Perdana Menteri
* Hasutan oleh Mat Sabu dan penipuan tuntutan bil perubatan. Tunggu apa lagi, tindakan undang-undang perlu diambil. Tindakan "anti sleazy politics" tak semestinya diambil terhadap Kerajaan. Tindakan anti sleaze juga patut diambil terhadap Pembangkang khasnya yang ada jawatan dalam Parlimen atau Dewan Undangan Negeri
* Dan banyak lagi yang saya tidak senaraikan tetapi diketahui oleh ramai blogger pro-kerajaan dan blogger anti-kerajaan.
Maka itu, eloklah Najib minta semua blogger pro-kerajaan dan pro-pembangkang isytihar "Anti-Sleaze Day" bertujuan mendapatkan feedback dari rakyat berkaitan langkah-langkah pembersihan yang Najib perlu laksanakan.
Saya percaya, Najib akan menang pilihanraya dan akan jadi kesayangan rakyat apabila perkara ini dilaksanakan.
