The Don is Married...

As the Don entered the reception hall, it was clear now that La Cosa Nostra of Taiping would now require a new leader. Don Kamil gave up his status as head of the Taiping mafia when he wed Nawirah last week. The family is now in turmoil as no leader has been appointed and other families are beginning to doubt the ability of the Taiping clan to carry on without the leadership of Don Kamil. He has been a great boss, and his orders have been followed without so much as a question. Don Kamil's sotto capo (second in command) is now vying for the coveted post as boss to the Taiping family. Omar "the guitar" Khan (who has been known to off his victims using a guitar) is Don Kamil's trusted confidante and the rest of the family knows how much he wants to be the next capo (boss). However, il consiglieri is also hoping that he would be picked. Abdul "the knife" Mukmin is the boss' counselor and advisor. Abdul is seldom involved in "street" operations of the family, however he is known to be notorious when push comes to shove and he has to jump in to save the day.
The Taiping family is a highly respected family. Like the Corleones, whoever becomes the boss of the Taiping family, will also be considered as the capo di tutti capi (boss of all bosses). Will it be Omar the guitar or will it be Abdul the knife? Or could it be that the Don actually has someone else in mind? How about Amalul, one of the caporegimes? Amalul is seen here with one of the men in his 'crew', Firas. Although he is still quite young, Amalul has proven to be quite the mafia here. His street name is Amalul the head as he is capable of silencing his victims with the mere use of his head. Moving on, the other two caporegimes of La Cosa Nostra Taiping are also being considered to take Don Kamil's place. Although most of the other families do not agree with them being in the running, Don Kamil surely knows better. However, Omar and Abdul are not too happy with this development, as both of them are the closest competition to become the next Don. Iman the lipstick Khan and Farah the trigger finger Harith are both highly respected caporegimes and they both have among the best 'crews' in the family. Who will be the next Don? The capo di tutti capi? Don Kamil is taking quite a long time in deciding who his successor will be. And everyone is getting a little anxious. The baton has yet to be passed and other families are afraid that their 'business' will be in trouble if a new Don is not elected soon. Abdul the knife and Farah the trigger finger is seen here with the consiglieri of another family. Perhaps they're planning a move? Or a hostile takeover? Is Don Kamil taking too long to decide that his own family members are getting antsy?
It is vital for Don Kamil to decide on a new leader. The Taiping clan would be looked down by the other families if a proper leader is not elected. No decision has been made so far, however rumors have surfaced saying that Don Kamil will be electing someone just before he heads off to another country. What we know is that Omar and Abdul are both waiting in anticipation. Will it be the underboss who will rise as the new boss? Or will it be the consiglieri? Only Don Kamil holds the answer...
