Two lions

By the end of next month, we will know who would become the Deputy President of UMNO and eventually the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. Three candidates are vying for the coveted post and the front runner is Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. With the political scene in our country today we do need a very strong Deputy Prime Minister who would support the Prime Minister. Imagine, if Dato' Sri Najib is attending meeting overseas, a strong and firm Deputy is needed to helm the country. The opposition definitely would stir the hornet's nest by creating problems and hence, Tan Sri Muhyiddin is capable of handling them. With due respect to Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam and Tan Sri Muhammad Mohd Taib, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is above them in all aspects, especially in handling problems. Thus, I would say that Muhyiddin could complement Najib as both are 'lions' and in the context of the present political scene in Malaysia, we need not only one 'lion' but two 'lions' to contain and preserve the stability of our country. With the likes of Karpal Singh, Gobind Singh Deo and Anwar Ibrahim, Najib and Muhyiddin could 'tame' them. No wonder there are motions by the opposition to have a vote of confidence for Pak Lah to stay on as the Prime Minister because they are afraid of the mentioned 'two lions'.
