In a recent blog posting, Lim Kit Siang referred to an "ominous" statement by Najib on Thursday night that it was up to Umno members to decide if action should be taken against Razaleigh for continuing his campaign against the federal government over the Kelantan oil royalties claim.
Lim said whether Razaleigh would be "disciplined" or even hounded out of Umno is an internal party matter.
But he added that the fact that Razaleigh had taken an uncompromising stand over the issue concerns not only him and Umno, but larger public interests affecting not only the oil royalties.
'Godfather' behaviour
He said it also affects the state rights of all states in the federal system of government in Malaysia.
Razaleigh had accused the Federal Government of behaving like a “Godfather” even though their power comes from the 13 states.
Razaleigh upped the ante in a media report Friday elaborating on his concerns at the signs of decline everywhere in Malaysia, saying that even Malays are getting disillusioned with the state of the nation and leaving the country.
