1MDB IPO

The latest news is that the AG, which is spearheading the 4 department task force (AG, BNM, MACC, Police) investigating WSJ's claims has just gotten an earlier retirement due to 'health issues' (more specifically, kidney failure). He was originally scheduled to mandatorily retire in 3months time in Oct this year.

This brings up many questions - (1) Why can't we wait till Oct or even extend his tenure, since he is in charge of the task force, which IMO is the most important investigative team that was formed in the last 20years of Msian history (2) Kidney failure is chronic in future and does not happen overnight. Why now? (3) Where is the health report (not the one that did the medical examination on Anwar's semen samples) that says he is not fit for his job immediately?

It doesn't take someone with an common sense quotient of 180 to answer these questions.

From a perspective of the AG, the burden on the extraordinary task force, or pressure from the most important investigation, may over-stress the already fragile body and mind. He may make the request for the earlier retirement.

(speculating from the other perspective)

The obvious idea everybody has is to retire the old put in someone new loyal to you that don't have old ties to the old system and final outcome of whatever investigation would be favorable or at the very least lead to nowhere.

That why I say all leaders in the world will jealously hang on to their power. They rather everything else burn around them than let go.

but what if you also needed to go against somebody equally powerful as yourself, you can't kill them or blow them up so openly, so only way is find some legal way against them and now having a new AG in your pocket would help plenty later wouldn't it?

agree 110%. yr analysis is fantastic. fortunately u are not licensed for your analysis...
