Najib has done the right thing in dropping Muhyiddin Yassin as his deputy, an aide to Rosmah Mansor said. Rizal Mansor said this was because there was no need for Najib to retain a ‘foolish’ deputy who refused to accept repeated explanations on the alleged scandals that implicated Najib.

“What is the point of having a foolish deputy?

“He could not understand the 1MDB issue which was explained at length to the cabinet (but) he understood what was written in The Edge,” said Rizal in reference to Muhyiddin’s criticisms against state-investment arm 1MDB.

Rizal, who cited Muhyiddin’s statement that there were people who came up to him and asked about scandals implicating Najib and Rosmah, also said: “I have personally given my explanation on all major issues involving the PM’s wife since before the 13th general elections until today.

“Among the big issues was the one on the (RM24 million diamond) ring and her daughter’s wedding.

“I have explained and answered every single one of the claims made. I have made public speeches, press statements as well as closed-door sessions with various levels of Umno and Wanita Umno leadership,” said Rizal, adding that most of them were satisfied with his answers.

It is a relief that at least this Mr Mansor is sharp enough to understand all that has been “explained” about these matters.

However, the problem is that the entire rest of Malaysia and the inhabitants of the world beyond are not.

Aside from Mr Mansor and the other paid UMNO yes men, everyone else on the planet has found Mr Najib Razak’s (and Rosmah’s) excuses so utterly convoluted, changing, baffling and unsubstantiated that they have come to the conclusion that they are merely lies.

When Mr Mansor has attempted to explain it all over again in those press conferences, sadly (our brains not being as good as his) listeners have again come away unconvinced.

This all goes to prove the maxim that things need not only to be true, but they also need to be seen to be true.

This is where the super-intelligent Mr Mansor and Rosmah have failed and why the politically astute Mr Muhyiddin, Dr Mahathir and all those others are right.
