The TV had been showing results of the election at Sabah and Sarawak. This puzzled us because, well, normally, result showing would start from Semenanjung Malaysia first, and then Sabah and Sarawak. My dad's explanation was that either BN had lost terribly or less than two thirds of the parliament seats in Semenanjung Malaysia. Could this mean the changing of the leaders of Malaysia?
When I broke my foot, we were at the hospital when my dad gave me a book, 'The Toyol Code' which tells of a conspiracy supposedly being carried out by Khairy Jamaluddin, son-in-law of the prime minister, and his friends. Apparently, Khairy has contacts with Singapore and the U.S.A who are supporting him so that he fulfills his wishes of becoming Prime Minister at age 40. Anyway, (this is the general outline of his plans), Khairy intends to sell Malaysia to the two countries mentioned. Retarded huh?
Abdullah Badawi became the fifth PM in November 2003 after Dr. Mahathir Mohammad. However, even after taking office, it was quite clear that the most powerful man in Malaysia was not him, but Khairy. All his thoughts, actions and deeds were heavily influenced, by what most call 3k, Khairy Jamaluddin, Kalimullah (The Group Chief Editor of the NST) and his now deceased wife, Kak Endon (Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood Ambak).
The person who was probably most aware of Khairy was former PM Dr Mahathir. While Dr M at first warmed to Khairy and friends, he eventually found Khairy and overbearing presence upon Abdullah. But at that time, it was too late. Mahathir had announced his retirement and Badawi was the heir-designate. For whatever bad that Mahathir had done, he did not regret any one more than he regretted the decision of removing Anwar Ibrahim.
