COMMENT After the combined 'oust PM Najib Razak' forces began their campaign with a roar last Friday at the launch of the Citizens' Declaration, has their momentum slowed in the week after?

The fact that both the pro-Najib battalions and the oppositionists who are loath to have any truck with former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad have rounded-in on the same target does say something about the prospects of the whole effort of deposition of the incumbent PM.

The Najib defenders have zeroed in on the supposed treachery of Dr M in banding together with Umno's long-time foes, while the 'don't-touch-Dr M-with-a-barge-pole' crowd just cannot abide the idea that the person who allegedly- no, most certainly - set the stage upon which Najib presently struts could plausibly lead any attempt to undo his handiwork.
