THE natives of Australia are fully aware that when they throw their traditional weapon, boomerang at a prey or an enemy they ensure that they are not hit by the weapon that comes back to them.
The “boomerang” metaphor fits the predicament faced by the top leadership of Bersatu.
As of late, three leaders of the party have been arrested for corruption, money laundering, abuse of power and others. Of course, the latest to be arrested and charged is none other than former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also the president of Bersatu.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has cast its net wide, others in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) might be charged and arrested, including the “never do wrong”, “sanctimonious” PAS leaders.
The “green wave” propelled by the PN coalition in the last general election was predicated on the use of corruption as a weapon against the UMNO leadership. This “boomerang” was the principal reason that UMNO lost Malay support, especially in the north and east of the country.
