SHOCK POLITICAL TWIST: MH370 pilot was 'obsessed' with Anwar Ibrahim, M'sian PM may QUIT SOON [View all]
Amid intensifying calls for Prime Minister Najib Razak to step down to take responsibility for mishandling the missing flight MH370 crisis, and after days of secretly holding the doomed pilot's laptop, the Malaysian authorities have suddenly 'loosened' their lips in what appears to be a bid to draw in and tarnish Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
The 66-year-old Anwar is Najib's political arch rival, and who the day before the plane went missing on Saturday, had been convicted and jailed on sodomy charges that many have opined were manifestly trumped up by the Najib regime.
In fact when the news of the missing airplane first broke, political cynics had privately termed the tragedy as a 'Godsend' for the 60-year-old PM, who stood to face a crippling backlash from the Malay community, the country's predominant electorate, for resorting to 'political dirty tricks' to shut out another Malay leader.
However, the fire could not be contained and the MH370 tragedy may instead sound the political death knell for Najib himself. Expected to resign shortly, there is concern that Najib was trying to deflect blame and further smear his political nemesis on the way out from power.
