rafidah under fire

Rafidah Aziz applied for 1 week leave to visit Perth, the leave was approved by none other than DPM NajibTun Razak. I wonder why the leave was approved in the first place, since Rafidah's presence is most necessary in the cabinet meeting.

Meanwhile, education minister Hishammuddin Hussein demands explanations from Rafidah, claiming that the whole AP fiasco has soured relationships between Rafidah and ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad.

Is this a well-orchestrated political assasination? Or is this more sandiwara masterminded by retired PM Mahathir in order to protect his pet project PROTON?
