Death Knell from PWTC

Hooray- now we know UMNO is going to be finished come GE14. It does not know how to govern Malaysia, a land of many races, each a legal citizen with equal rights before the law. Najib speaks like he’s speaking to a bunch of nitwit JKKKs, sometimes mocking, sometimes raising his voice out of tune. He’s tuneless, out of sync and clueless.

There was nothing said about forging a unified nation. The 1Malaysia slogan is just that- a slogan that became a black hole sucking in money for the consultants. Instead you hear about Malay supremacy being bandied around. It’s ok if others call UMNO racists. Then why should UMNO detest if others are racists too?

UMNO has nothing to say about managing the economy other than talking about BR1M and hand-outs to keep the hoi poloi contented. Instead you hear about the shameless demand for making a few Malays rich because these Malays represent the Malays. Hence UMNO speaks nothing about the widening inequality- the top 5% Malay controlling 42% of the nation’s income while the bottom feeders, made contented by BR1Ms and hand-outs share 12% of the nation’s income.

UMNO speaks about preserving the AP system that has enriched a select few. The Bumiputera-fication of the economy actually means cornering business deals and government businesses by the select few. Bumputera means just that- the Puteras are in the forefront grabbing all resources while the Bumis are left behind. Hence the term bumiPUTERA.

UMNO’s 1 Malaysia will become UMNO’s 1 Melayu. UMNO’s economic agenda is nothing more than the bumiputerafication of business so that the elite and select Malays acquire more wealth on BEHALF of all Malays. UMNO does not have the moral authority to unite the people because it negates itself with all the racist slurs and virulent supremacy.

How do you explain UMNO’s success and longevity? UMNO has been able to stay afloat as long as it succeeds in keeping the Malays under a siege mentality. As long as it can induce a climate of fear that Malays are under threat, the position of Malays is under attack, the Islamic religion is under siege, even spreading the fear of Malaysia being taken over by Christians and that Malays are being converted to Christianity, Malay Kings are going to be replaced and dethroned and all that, UMNO will survive. Meaning- UMNO survives on a foundation of falsehoods which will crumble once society becomes more politically and socially aware. As UMNO sows the negative seeds, so will it reap the negative fruits.

So what does it do? It drives a wedge between PAS and DAP. The reason why UMNO got 88 parliamentary votes was simply because PAS wasn’t able to take more seats off UMNO. The reason why PAS wasn’t able is because UMNO has successfully exploited PAS’s cooperation with DAP. UMNO goes around saying a vote for PAS means a vote for DAP. The DAP is painted as a chauvinist Chinese party as well as a communist party in some areas. It is none of those.

PAS people have wizened up. In its recent party elections, the party has chosen to retain many of its modern Islamic leaders. That is a good thing because for as long as PAS submits to the UMNO’s hidden plan to keep PAS as a party of village ulamas,  It will continue to contain PAS. That was why I said PRU14 will be the time of PAS. If it can show that it is modern thinking despite preserving its fundamental beliefs and Islamic in thinking rather that insisting to impose a Taliban-esque regime, then PAS will replace UMNO.

All the talk about the Malays being under siege are all garbage. We the opposition parties are not going to go there and dignify UMNO’s own creations. We want to focus on good governance, abuse of power, corruption and management of the economy, creating a united nation. Nothing to do with all those things Malay as defined by  UMNO because everyone of us accept the Malaysian constitution and all the provisions there in.

Its UMNO who should be reined in for sedition. It’s going to face a lot of problems. Despite the rhetoric and swashbuckling noises coming out of PTWC, UMNO knows the people know(1) the economic system has not been fair. Those who benefit belong to the top 5% while those at the bottom have not improved substantially . 40% still get income lower than RM1500 a month and that means 11 million people live with a monthly income of not more than RM1500 a month. (2) the political system has not been fair- people who want change cannot get the change they desire because the government cheated by way of gerrymandering and unfair representation. (3) The political system hasn’t corrected the failures.

So there is  vast difference from UMNO says loudly and publicly and what they have achieved. People know that GST is good from the standpoint of the government because it allows them to get more money. Getting more money in the hands of the government is troubling us because the government has a long bad record of misusing and misappropriating public funds. We lose RM28 billion a year through all sorts of leakages such as outright corruption, falsification of costs and so forth.

There is a greater sense of awareness among the majority of the population that the government and therefore UMNO has taken us for a ride.UMNO is riding into the sunset.
