How Do We Know PR is Going to Win in this PRU13?

My comment "do not thrust this guy' but this is interesting..
 
NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

I remember an incident back in the 1980s when the Director of the Terengganu Anti-Corruption Agency or ACA (now called the MACC) took two weeks leave to campaign for PAS during the general election. He drove around all over Terengganu with his Volkswagen covered with PAS flags.

One general election later I was in Lembah Pantai to help the Umno candidate, my old school friend Kamal Husein, who was contesting against Marina Yusoff from Semangat 46. It was actually tough going because the Umno people aligned to Razak Abu Samah and Abu Bakar Lazim were sabotaging him. Hence because of the internal sabotage Marina had a strong hope of winning.

I then met up with two Special Branch officers to seek their help. They agreed to help but for a price so I introduced them to Kamal Hussein. Of course, the price was quite high but Kamal paid the price and won the election. Kamal is now with PKR so no doubt whatever I did is no longer a secret and PKR and Anwar Ibrahim would now know my black-ops operation and how I paid off (or rather Kamal did) the Special Branch officers to sabotage the other side.

In 1998 I received information from an ex-military man -- Lt Col (Rtd) -- whose brother was a Special Branch officer regarding what they planned to do with Anwar Ibrahim, who was then already incarcerated in the Sungai Buloh Prison. I then informed Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail about it and she raised this matter in Parliament.

After I was released from my first ISA detention in 2001 I met up with PAS leader Mahfuz Omar who asked me whether I knew where I was kept during my detention. I replied that I did not so Mahfuz told me where the detention place was. He had received this information from a Special Branch officer who was sympathetic to PAS and was in a way their mole in the Special Branch.

Then we have the many senior police and military officers who have since retired and have joined the opposition. Then we have the many senior Umno and Barisan Nasional leaders who have left the ruling party to join the opposition. Then we have the many Deep Throats that I myself have in the government, Umno, MCA, Gerakan, MIC, PPP, etc., plus the MACC, Police Force, Attorney-General’s Chambers, and whatnot, who feed me information and for sure would join the opposition once they retire or no longer have a future with the government or Umno/BN.

So you see, you never know whom you can trust nowadays. Even the Father of Independence (Bapak Merdeka), Tunku Abdul Rahman, and Tun Hussein Onn left Umno and died outside Umno and supported Semangat 46, as did people like Datuk Harun Idris (infamous for May 13) and a host of other government people turned opposition supporters.

And the latest, of course, is Muhammad son of Muhammad, who actually hoped to become Prime Minister one day but now that that is not going to happen he has crossed over to the opposition.

Therefore, all those who are saying that I am making or wish to make a deal with Umno so that I can return to Malaysia are mad if they think I am that stupid. Even if I do wish to make a deal who in the government, Umno, the Police, or whatever can I trust? How would I know that these people I talk to will not one day cross over to the opposition? And once they do what would happen to the secret that we share?

Say Pakatan Rakyat does win the general election in two weeks time. How many of those pro-Umno or pro-Barisan Nasional people will remain pro-Umno or pro-Barisan Nasional? Would they not swing over to the government-of-the-day and become pro-Pakatan Rakyat?

As I said, even if I do harbour ambitions of returning to Malaysia I would not know whom to trust. I do know a lot of people on the ‘other side’ -- that is certainly very true. I even have many friends in Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s office, some of them my old school mates. But I cannot guarantee that they would not cross over if things on the other side do not pan out to what they had hoped.

Hence you insult me when you say I am making a deal or wish to make a deal with Umno. That is so stupid and only you can be stupid enough to think that. And just because you are stupid does not mean I am stupid as well.

Let me put it another way. How do you think I know that Vincent Tan paid Hee Yit Foong RM25 million to cross over? And would any of you have known this had I not revealed it? Well, I got it from the horse’s mouth, people who were involved in the whole thing. Hence if they could readily reveal that they paid Hee RM25 million would they not also readily reveal they are paying me if I make a deal with them?

So, yes, I do have friends in high places from the other side. But I would be exposing myself to great risk if I use these connections to make a deal. And only silly people will make this mistake. And I may be many things, but silly is not one of them. And if you think I would make that silly mistake then you are sillier than you dare admit.

I have been in this game for 35 years so I know how to play my black-ops. I suppose many of you are Johnny-come-lately armchair politicians so you know nuts. Hence you do not know what I would call self-preservation. And making a deal with someone who may later sell you out is NOT self-preservation. And in this game the ‘other side’ can become ‘your side’ with a flick of an eyelid and what do you do then?

Kapish?
