Mahathir has a great fear in Anwar. When he was set free by Court on 901 Mahathir must be in trauma. Najib has the case of Altantuyia yet unresolved. Razak Baginda was released by court without the prosecution making any effort to appeal against that decision. He is worried of the voters’perception “Najib any link to all these? might still lingers on accentuated by Anwar is free to campaign preparing for GE13. And he fears loosing Tun M’s support over his problem. So Anwar’s acquittal is appealled in his own mitigation.
A very dangerous outcome is “planned” here. To both Tun M and Najib as long as the latter remains PM any spillovers of the “planned dangerous outcome” can be controlled with the various instruments of power. To them Anwar becoming next PM after GE13 must be prevented at all cost. To them Anwar becoming PM can undo a lot of the “gains” by Tun M and Najib, including possible prosecution over those gains as well.
