Same Pillow, Different Dreams

I am just back from a grueling 2 day ceramah sessions in Terengganu and Kelantan. The interactive responses from the rakyat- most notably from the marginalized Malays in the rural heartlands are sending shivers down the spines of UMNO leaders. 

Provided one can still locate the spines. We can now speak of UMNO and no longer of BN. perhaps UMNO’s most important ally is now the parti Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia. BN now exists in name only. The 14 component parties are just stooges to UMNO’s devices. 

The MIC will be reduced to the status of a beggar with outstretched hands just like the PPP shouting ayoyo, amama. MCA has lost any semblance of credibility since it cannot be Chinese enough because it obeys the dictates of its master, UMNO. Who cares if Soi Lek says MCA is the only brave party to object to the implementation of hudud? A non-Muslim party says that in the face of UMNO leaders who are Muslims and they just stood by cupping the breeches to ensure their manhood is still intact?  Because they are eunuchs, they can’t feel anything there. 

Everywhere we go, people are asking when is the election date? We will let the UMNO hoi poloi and digits think they have got the upper hand. Let them be deluded into believing their own hype. Najib sees thousands of UMNO members being transported into stadium Bukit Jalil and he was LSD-ied into  declaring he wants elections now. But when he sobers up from the drunken blankness of being mesmerized by a well-orchestrated attendance of the mindless by his political minders, his punahsihats and punaisihats and realized that 300,000 over people attended the Bersih 3.0 gathering, he chickened out. 

Of course he will be intoxicated once more at seeing the gathering of his one million youths who came to have a good time, roller blading, bike-racing or just hip-hoping with the well paid singers in attendance. He and the missus can play the teh-tarik sellers for a day and the mainstream papers will vomit the usual sycophantic praises. Perhaps the underage boys and girls plus the tourist who came too, can vote UMNO in the next election? 

What he will never realize is why are his UMNO ground troops clamoring for the election date? Everyone has been worked up so intensely that they are going into epileptic fits. Now, epilepsy is an ailment that Najib has personal experience but we shall not go into that. We want to answer why the UMNO men and women, girls and boys on the ground are having the seizures. 

Much money has been spent to spruce up the operations rooms all over the country. The Terengganu UMNO chief distributed RM 5000 to each operations room to have them all make-up and powdered. Much money has been spent to on the election paraphernalia- bamboo poles for the flags, tee-shirts and caps for the UMNO troops, vests and so on. But more importantly, the UMNO troops are growing impatient asking when is the real money coming? Many have placed orders for that motorbike they dreamed. They can’t wait to race across the padi fields in Sungai Panjang, Sungai Besar and Sekinchan.

You see, for the UMNO troops, the GE is a real festive time to earn big bucks. They want to fleece the UMNO leaders for the last time before UMNO loses the next GE.

Are the UMNO troops motivated by a purpose or are they fighting for a cause? They have no clue whatsoever what is UMNO fighting for. 

For those not supporting UMNO, they want to know the election date because they are impatient to kick out the thieving and hypocritical UMNO leaders. You have a leader lecturing and insulting the intelligence of people receiving RM 500, 100 and 200 on how to spend the money wisely forgetting that it will take millions receiving the RM500 to equal the purchase of one diamond ring costing RM 74 million. It takes thousands of recipients to equal one Birkin Hermes handbag. The same leader who closes one eye on the spindrift ways of people close to him are lecturing people on how to spend RM 500 wisely? 

These people are impatient to usher in a better life after UMNO. That is why they want to know when is the elections? They know they have a better future under Pakatan rule than under empty promising UMNO. The UMNO president went to Gua Musang 2 weeks ago and promised the people of Kelantan thet he will give a better Islam than PAS can in Kelantan. We have a simple question for him. Has he provided a better Islam in the states UMNO and BN are the governments? Why doesn't he implement a better Islam in the states UMNO and BN won rather than shooting his mouth about Islam in a state where BN and UMNO lost?

The infamous Abe Jak ( Abang Jak) is ROTFLOL- rolling on the floor laughing out loudly at Najib's political comedy. Abe Jak was the man fined by the courts for indecently exposing his private parts to some Puteri UMNO members many years back. Or Perhaps he didn't go full Monty and was only teasing much to the chagrin of the Puteri UMNO girls.

When Lim Guan Eng took over Penang from UMNO and Gerakan he inherited a debt of almost RM 700 million and after only 4 years the debt is reduced to RM 30 million. He has balanced the budget and Penang has emerged as the sate with the biggest FDI. He offers a better future for Penang people.

When Khalid Ibrahim the stutterer took over Selangor he was left with a reserve of RM 800 million. Khir Toyo the tempe seller thought he could gloat but after 4 years, Khalid Ibrahim has increased the cash reserves to just over RM 2 billion, balanced the budget and received the second largest FDI. Khalid offers a better future for Selangor people and has a better record to compare to boastful Najib.

When Nik Aziz, the kampong man vilified by UMNO as a village ustaz in sarong who can never manage a state took over Kelantan, he inherited a debt of over RM 600 million. Now Kelantan has no federal debt. Nik Aziz offers Kelantanese a better future.

Similarly when Ustaz Azizan took over Kedah, he inherited a state better known for rampant losses in revenue from timber extraction. Under his management, revenue from timber and logging has increased manifold. The losses perviously incurred were the result of UMNO's gross mismanagement.  Also, Kedah under the ustaz has also raked in more FDI than 9 other UMNO managed states. Kedah was in the top 5 states receiving the highest FDI. PAS offers a better future to the Kedahans than and Mukhriz can ever do.

So you see, the UMNO troops are impatient for the election date for another inglorious reason but one that is typical of the UMNO mindset.

The majority of the people are impatient to have a better life after UMNO.
