	Asia Times: Dark horse spells trouble for Mahathir
		Now, 13 years later, Razaleigh Hamzah is again lurking in the shadows in the run-up to the May 11 elections to be held by the United Malays National Organization (Umno), the party led by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and the dominant force in the ruling coalition.
		Razaleigh, a cabinet minister for 11 years, herded his rival faction out of Umno for a spell in the opposition wilderness, forming the now defunct Semangat 46 (Spirit of '46), which needled Umno at every turn.
		Razaleigh, by contrast, failed miserably in his task of re-capturing Kelantan for the ruling coalition in last November's general election.

	Razaleigh Hamzah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (born 1937) is a major Malaysian political figure from the state of Kelantan.
		In 1987 while he was an UMNO member, Tengku Razaleigh challenged the then UMNO President Dr. Mahathir Mohammad.
		Tengku Razaleigh at the same time went on his own path and found a new political party called Semangat 46 in 1989.

		Perhaps because there was no open dissent from Razaleigh, Mahathir referred to the prince's oft-quoted claim that he has "no plans" to challenge either the PM or his deputy.
		Razaleigh's strategy is to offer himself behind the scenes as an alternative to Mahathir and then try to gauge what sort of response he gets.
		Razaleigh will have to fight Abdullah, 59, the cultured and suave politician who replaced Anwar as the party chief in Penang after the deputy PM was sacked.

		Razaleigh, who was once a vice-president of the party, was commenting on the claims by many Umno leaders that money politics had an influence on the recent party elections.
		Razaleigh, who was once finance minister, said he was convinced ordinary Umno members would support his proposal because it puts voting power back in the hands of the ordinary members and not the delegates.
		Tengku Razaleigh said he was putting forward this proposal because he wanted Umno to remain strong in line with the government's efforts to administer the country according to the principles of Islam Hadhari (civilisational Islam).

		Razaleigh, a former UMNO strongman, said that he had no desire to be prime minister nor did he want a cabinet post.
		For Razaleigh, a prince from Kelantan, it was always going to be an uphill task after 17 years in the political wilderness, given the advantage of patronage, incumbency and electoral procedures that Abdullah enjoyed.
		Razaleigh has said that procedures relating to nomination, campaigning, appointment of delegates and voting of all political parties had to be examined.

		Razaleigh, on the other hand, founded a breakaway party after narrowly losing to Mahathir in party elections in 1987, and only returned to the Umno fold a few years ago.
		A prince from the state of Kelantan, Razaleigh spent so many years in the establishment before his split with Mahathir in the late 1980s that he is "an unusual candidate to be cast in the role of a reformer," cautions Bruce Gale, who follows Umno politics for the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy.
		Because Razaleigh has said he would vie for a top party post only if there was a groundswell of support for his candidacy, he is likely to wait until a number of divisions have nominated him.

	Risking his dignity to make a point
		Razaleigh has given the matter much thought so there is really nothing more that one could say, that he, as a veteran politician, does not already know.
		Had Razaleigh wanted to contest the deputy president’ post, there might have been a groundswell of support for him, particularly by those who are uncomfortable with the pros-pect of having Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as prime minister one day.
		Razaleigh would then be in the running, at the right time, in the right place.

		Razaleigh's authority in influential, northeastern Kelantan is undiminished.
		In 1987, Razaleigh nearly ousted Mahathir as UMNO leader in a battle that left the country's dominant party badly bruised and eventually led to a split.
		For nine years, Razaleigh ran his own political group, Semangat '46 or Spirit of '46, a reference to the year the original UMNO was founded.

		Tengku Razaleigh in making the announcement before some 1,000 delegates to the Youth and Women's wings of the Gua Musang Umno division at their meeting here, said he made the decision to "keep alive democratic practices apart from enabling me to continue my struggle in the party".
		Tengku Razaleigh, who is also Gua Musa Umno division head and an appointed member of the party's supreme council, said he was making the announcement because "the president's post is vacant".
		On Thursday, Tengku Razaleigh suggested that the quota system for contesting posts within Umno be abolished and dropped hints that he was prepared to go for the top party post in the September polls.

		Tengku Razaleigh is Member of Parliament for Gua Musang, a far-flung constituency in Kelantan.
		Tengku Razaleigh said the opposition took the seat because the component parties in the Barisan Nasional were not committed to winning.

		Gua Musang is the Parliament constituency of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, one time political foe of the Prime Minister, who failed in his bid to oust Dr Mahathir as the UMNO party president in the 1980s.
		Tengku Razaleigh and his supporters were "left out" from this new party and were forced to form their own party, Semangat 46 (The Spirit of 46), and went into opposition.
		Tengku Razaleigh is being viewed as doing Dr Mahathir’s "dirty work" of blocking any possible challenge from Abdullah who is said to be planning a vote of no confidence against Dr Mahathir in a bid to force him to resign.

		Tengku Razaleigh said the Malay IPTS had actually proven their capability in assisting Malay students when 18 of these IPTS were asked to run matriculation courses in 1999 after the programme was taken over by the Education Ministry.
		Tengku Razaleigh said the skills programme of the National Vocational Training Council (MLVK) was another example of the tragedies suffered by the Malay IPTS operators.
		Tengku Razaleigh said it was suddenly claimed that the Skills Development Fund had inadequate funds and the plan was aborted by the ministry after more than 100,000 Malay students had registered with the MLVK Accredited Centres.

		Tengku Razaleigh, 67, who declared that he was "out of the running" for the top post, hoped that Abdullah would continue with the country's development programmes and enhance economic growth by encouraging more foreign investors to invest in the country.
		Tengku Razaleigh said he had to wait until almost all the Umno divisions had held their meetings in order not to disappoint his supporters.
		Tengku Razaleigh said that the Gua Musang Umno liaison committee then fixed July 21 as the date for the division's Wanita Umno delegates meeting to meet the seven-day notice requirement.

		Mahathir was opposed by his very popular former Finance Minister, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
		But it was with such a minuscule majority that there were immediate questions about the value, not to say validity, of his mandate.
		Mahathir had not only barely scraped in, defeating his opponent, Tengku Razaleigh with a majority of 43 (761 against 718 votes), but there were now allegations that several delegates who had voted were drawn from UMNO branches not properly registered under The Societies Act, 1966.

		Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, in typical "wayang kulit" fashion, announces his disqualification to be the DPM, thought the new cabinet "could help the Prime Minister overcome the economic and political crises", wants the people not only to support but to co-operate to ease the government's burden.
		Later, on 4 January, when Tengku Razaleigh held a "buka puasa" function in his house, the same reaction made it clear to Dr Mahathir that he faced a revolt from his ranks if he went against UMNO tradition.
		I see a natural gravitation of the Anwar and Najib forces towards Tengku Razaleigh, who now becomes a challenger for the presidency of UMNO in the next general election.

		Mahathir said Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, a former trade minister, and former Deputy Prime Minister Musa Hitam could join his Cabinet as ministers without portfolio.
		In June 1987, Razaleigh's supporters sought to nullify the voting in court, alleging that illegal delegates from improperly registered party branches had voted.
		Razaleigh and Musa refused, claiming Mahathir had filled key party posts with his own followers and prevented them from winning any positions in later elections.

		The wide-spread belief is that a large part of its membership cowers in fear of a witch-hunt, chants a chorus of lies, stays mute in the face of injustice, compromises principles, scorns integrity and side-steps democracy when 'advised' by the Supreme Council to toe its line.
		That's why Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has had so much trouble even succeeding at the "nomination round" for the May UMNO election.
		The humiliation of Semangat 46 and Razaleigh and the horrors that befell Anwar are reminders that any challenge against the UMNO leadership must be a do-or-die battle.

		Razaleigh, 62, insists he is "nothing, a nobody." But in a nearly two-hour session with Asiaweek's Santha Oorjitham at his family home, Palm Manor, in Kelantan state capital Kota Baru, Razaleigh came across as articulate, savvy and self-confident.

	Will Ku Li get his chance?
		The chances of Razaleigh getting that number of nominations are, however, slim but if he does, then there would be a real battle on the cards.
		Some of his supporters maintain that all that Razaleigh is interested in is furthering the cause of democracy in Umno -- the right of any Umno member to challenge even the leader.
		Those who know him say the Kelantan prince believes it is his destiny to be Umno president and prime minister, a destiny that has yet to be fulfiled because of the political miscalculations and the dominance of Mahathir over the past 22 years.

		Tengku Razaleigh gambled not only his luck, but also his reputation when he announced not too long ago that he was willing to contest the presidentâs post.
		What stood in the way of Tengku Razaleigh and, to a lesser degree, other unsuccessful aspirants were the hurdles put up by the party in the last one and a half decades that made the task of challenging for top posts difficult.
		For Tengku Razaleigh, the biggest irony in the current phase of his political career was being strongly criticised by the New Straits Times (NST) newspaper for his attempt to challenge Abdullah.
