Elegant Silence broken by Splendid Big Bang

Whether one agrees with this or that idea of former PM Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad in his public criticisms against PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, no serious observers have failed to see that he has scored three strategic victories without exploiting any crying daughter or grand daughter or any other ' innocent parties' in the 'battle' as 'human shields':

1. From being contained and blacked out, he has broken out on the domestic and international media front with a Splendid Big Bang;

2. After holding for a few days the line of Elegant Silence , PM Abdullah has retreated by ordering "relevant ministries and agencies" to answer the questions raised in his public criticisms;

3. Powerful Umno Baru personalities like Najib have declared that he would not be sacked from Umno despite many see his public criticisms against PM Abdullah and the government as serious breach of party discipline.

What's next?

Will Umno sack Mahathir?
