Last week saw the Mara Dudley House corruption story break in
Melbourne and the arrest of Xavier Justo Andre in Bangkok. As in all
things Malaysian, however tenuous and fragile the link, all things lead
back to the Prime Minister Najib Razak - and rightly so.
The troubles that beset Najib's administration are self inflicted. They are not caused by Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar Ibrahim, not by Lim Kit Siang or by Hadi Awang. Nor were the Chinese or the Christians responsible.
The state of the global economy can be labelled a contributing factor only because in good times corruption and bad governance by inept politicians can be ignored or simply papered over as the rakyat's attention can be distracted by the feel good spending by the government on projects that seemingly benefit the public.
But at a time when money is a premium and the lack of it is already being felt by those most in need of it - the millions being lost through capers such as the Mara Dudley House purchase and the 1MDB stretches the ability of the rakyat to tolerate anymore what Barisan Nasional is doing in the name of government.
The question is without doubt more pressing when the ailing opposition Pakatan Rakyat is in no position to offer a credible alternative.
