Najib looks unshakeable


From friends to foes: Najib (right) has managed to withstand the attacks and criticism from adversaries like (from left) Muhyiddin, Shafie and Dr Mahathir.

The enemy within is often more lethal than the enemy outside and Umno is abuzz with talk that some kind of action will be brought against leaders who are like ‘scissors within the fold’.

THERE was a rather wild rumour going around on Tuesday that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would be resigning from Umno and that he would announce it at his Seri Kembangan residence.
