		Umno veteran Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba has expressed his support for a contest for the two top UMNO party posts despite the UMNO supreme council's "no contest" decision for the posts of UMNO President and Deputy President.
		I hope Ghafar would not be accused by the UMNO-controlled mainstream media of "quite clearly and understandably in favour of a fractious contest at the May 11 Umno elections", an accusation which has been levelled against me for making the very same proposal as the former Deputy Prime Minister.
		May be, Ghafar should advise Abdullah that he should formally propose at the next UMNO Supreme Council meeting that its "no contest" decision for the two top posts should be rescinded before more damage is done to the political legitimacy and democratic credentials of the new Prime Ministerial heir-appaent in Malaysia.

		“Ghafar juga melahirkan rasa kecewanya, kerana masih gagal menemui seorang menteri besar Umno walaupun setelah membuat temujanji selama enam bulan, sedangkan beliau hanya mengambil sehari untuk berjumpa dengan Menteri Besar Kelantan, Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat,” kata sumber-sumber itu.

		It was odd therefore for the Syariah High Court hearing a khalwat (close proximity) case involving the second wife of former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Ghafar Baba and three Bosnians studying at the International Islamic University to have barred the media from reporting details of the charges as well as the proceedings.
		Heryati, who has been married to Ghafar for over eight years and has a six-year-old daughter with him, said she decided to study at IIU to have a better understanding of Islam.
		Compiled by LEE YUK PENG, NICK LEONG and S. IT was a close relative of Tun Ghafar Baba who had tipped off religious officers about her commiting khalwat (close proximity) in a move to sabotage her marriage to the former Deputy Prime Minister, Heryati Abdul Rahim said.

		The alleged khalwat case involving Tun Ghafar Baba's second wife was first exposed by NST on December 29.
		Her contention is that though she pleaded guilty, this was to prevent her husband, ex-deputy premier Tun Ghafar, from being dragged in the mud by a prolonged trial.

		The main task of this committee was to ensure that whoever was in government must guarantee that Malays were entitled to the 30 percent stake of the economic pie.

		But you work to get the party to support you and then say that being a party loyalist you have to heed the party's wishes, even though you have nothing personally against the incumbent, whom you admire greatly.
		This is what Anwar did to Ghafar and what he is likely to do to Mahathir.
		Ghafar was totally loyal and no threat, and he looked after the party for him.

		At a time when the country was mourning the passing of Datin Seri Endon Mahmood, the Malaysian rumour mill started grinding, first spreading word that former Deputy Prime Minister Tun Ghafar Baba had also died, followed by "hot news" that Monday would be declared a public holiday to commemorate the deaths.
		Ghafar has been in hospital since early this month, undergoing intensive care treatment for heart and lung complications.
		And yesterday, not long after it was officially announced that Endon had passed away at 7.55am, the SMSes started to get around that Ghafar too had died and that there would be a joint national funeral.

		In actual fact, Ghafar Baba was already regarded as too "old" and "unwell" to stand for the tenth general election, and this was why he was left out when the Malacca Chief Minister and state Barisan Nasional chairman, Datuk Abu Zahar Isnin last Friday announced the Barisan Nasional candidate line-up for Malacca.
		However, three hours later, Ghafar Baba was reinstated by Mahathir as the Barisan Nasional candidate for the Batu Berendam parliamentary constituency, not because Ghafar Baba is really fit to stand for an eighth term as MP, but because Mahathir wants to be sure about winning every parliamentary seat for fear of losing two-thirds parliamentary majority!
		During the Barisan Nasional 25th anniversary celebrations at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur last month, Ghafar could not stand the strain and had to be rushed to hospital.

		If he could defeat Ghafar in Sabah then he could take him on throughout the rest of Malaysia.

		For a while one feared that Tun Ghafar who had been brought back to recontest the elections had been reappointed to the cabinet.
		Veteran UMNO leader Ghafar Baba called for "younger blood" in UMNO and attributed UMNO’s poor showing to the party’s old faces.
		An aide to Ghafar - one of the unpopular figures in UMNO who had led the campaign against Anwar Ibrahim before the controversial sacking on 2 September - said the results of the elections also could spark another round of calls for reform reminiscent of the UMNO General Assembly in July 1998.

		While all this was going on YAB Encik Ghafar Baba kept his head down while Tan Sri Sallehuddin was writing in a notebook, which he was then holding.
		None of these three had ever seen me right in the face and I could detect Encik Ghafar Baba was strangely silent and Tan Sri Sallehuddin only caught me by the side of his eyes but he too appeared to be subdued.

		Even that did not protect Ghafar from Anwar's immense appetite for power.
		Having learned little from Musa's downfall and Ghafar's patience, Anwar made himself powerful and over-confident by the support he enjoyed from those he provided with business opportunities.

		Ghafar Baba was a sort of stop gap Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy UMNO leader, but then the way was paved for the emergence of Anwar.
		So here I think Anwar was able to displace Ghafar Baba without any problem given Mahathir’s tacit support.
		I think this is the interesting part because Musa Hitam left, Ghafar Baba left, and Anwar came and Tengku Razaleigh nearly made it.
