Amanah Youth leader, Mohd Hasbie Muda is right to describe Dr Samsuri Ahmad's response to call leaked PAS political report as rubbish is not convincing. The report was apparently prepared of his and Takiyuddin Hassan fact finding engagement with political leaders.
Responses from leaders implicated in the report are predictable and no convincing denial put forth by their supporters or detractors of BN.
There is no proof to support the authencity of the report, but there is no serious attempt to disprove or dispel the existence and content of the report.
Generally, consensus from sources considered reliable and resourceful by this blog believe the document as genuine.
Samsuri admitted to having the meetings. Whether it was presented and discussed in the PN meeting or not, it is secondary. The points raised in each engagement is not surprising.
Though Samsuri denied any plan to topple the government, existence of collusion, interference in the court etc., it is only expected of him to deny so. If there was a plan, it is expected on Samsuri to not admit. It only deems the denial as irrelevant.
However, the content in the documents released by a new blog here have been talked about in the political circle and fit with the views of political strategists.
More so, Mahathir revealed Muhyiddin's large canopy plan to overthrow Ismail Sabri before GE15.
Nervous
Secondly, PAS's Central committee member Awang Hashim seemed to conjure up an excuse in haste.
He claimed the documents was fabricated to severe the good relation presumably between UMNO and PAS. Harakah used the same bad intention cliched line of argument.
FMT's Mohsin Abdullah asked are they in good term now?
It is also indicative there is the fear the content will increase the distrust of grassroot towards PAS leadership. Unquestionable loyalty or wala'un is not a common trait in PAS these days.
Third and not necessarily the last, Samsuri's reluctance to take action - legal or police report - is a dead giveaway on the presence of wind rustling the tree branches.
He refused to take any legal action and considered it lengthy and wasteful. Why then he not do a police report?
Does he fear police will turned up the allegations as true and as happenned before, the one making police report end up being investigated or charged?
Adding to the suspicion, Takiyuddin is a former law Minister and convenient suspect. He has built a reputation of being manipulative in the administration of the law.
Single handedly, he made the decision to call off the emergency without notifying the Agong, Parliament, and public.
Despite the preference of Samsuri, Takiyuddin and Hadi to ignore the call, PAS are not refraining, but pointing their finger at former PAS Minister, Khairuddin Takiri.
Hamzah Zainuddin also denied to called it rubbish. As Secretary General of both PPBM and PN, he vouched there was no such PN meeting.
Coming from him, it is equally unconvincing. Within the political circle and to political observers, the report is representative of what and how he is capable of doing.
From UMNO side, Hishamuddin has denied involvement to topple party leadership. In reply, UMNO Secretary General Ahmad Maslan given a statement no action will be made against him and Tajuddin Rahman. Another name mentioned in the alleged report is Dr Masrizal.
Khaled Nordin requested the implicated UMNO leaders to explain the purpose of the meeting.
Serious implication
UMNO President Zahid Hamidi is leaving it to public and UMNO members to draw their conclusion. He has left for Mekah to do his umrah, but his lawyer will be making a police report.
The serious implication of the alleged leak as pointed out by Shahrir Samad is the existence of a collusion involving politicians, Attorney General and Chief Justice.
UMNO Kelantan Chief Jazlan said it is shameful on the nation should the plan be true. Without mincing his words, he claimed it would be considered a malicious and dirty conspiracy by Perikatan Nasional.
Rumours have been circulating of a plan to sent Zahid and Najb to prison by July. It seemed believable because Muhyiddin issued statement to call on the court to quicken their pace.
However, Najib explained in his FB that it is not possible because there are ten court cases concurrently going against him. The court date with the Federal Court on SRC case will only meet in July to address the application to have a Queen's Council.
Muhyiddin is still silent on the allegedly leaked document.
In the meanwhile, Ismail Sabri said he does not know the authenticity of the document. He too will be leaving for Mekah to do umrah soon.
