Umno has got an unexcisable problem. It thinks when it enters any elections, it must win. It thinks it's etched in stone.
Hence, when it entered the kemaman by- elections, it's a fait acompli, it's written in the stars. It must surely win.
When they lost, it starts blaming others but itself. Some reputable newspaper blamed for example, low voter turnout as a cause for UMNOs loss.
Wait a minute, weren't we were told repeatedly, That low voter turnout was advantageous to UMNO? Why the change in story? The liar must have a good memory. Obviously the people at that newspaper don't
Then there are the ignoramuses who fall back on the tiresome story, that UMNO lost and is rejected by the Malays because they are pimps or Barua to DAP.
Let's put our thinking caps for a while. What these people are saying, is that they do NOT need the non Malays to keep UMNO in power. If they don't need, why must the nons support them? The nose is flat, you push your cheeks to make the nose looked sharp.
Even if UMNO needs non Malay support, UMNO is not willing to give the rights that accompany non Malay support. So don't support them
Apply the same logic. If UMNO loses Malay support because it becomes DAPs Barua , it follows that PH , in particular the DAP is injured when associating with UMNO.
UMNO is the sickman in the unity government. It's the leper, no one wants to touch. Or to use a more earthy comparison, its the person with contagious STD.
So treat UMNO as one. Stay away from it
Put them in their proper place. Not by ditching them out, since they want to be part of the unity government and they have not insulted the unity government.
The strength of UMNO lies with the Malay base and its ability to indoctrinate and lie to them. Cut them off, there.
Limit their access through MARA, Felda, Risda and other glcs giving them access to the Malay base .
Mamu Anwar doesn't have to be sentimental about UMNO. Don't allow them recover their deficit. Ease their eventual demise. Remember what Napoleon said, when your enemies are making mistakes, don't interrupt them . By giving them Mara, Felda, Risda etc, mamu Anwar is interrupting them. What la
Meanwhile the UMNO 'extras' are busy coming up with cock and bull excuses as to why UMNO lost in the kemaman by-election. They do not erase the fact that UMNO lost, can't deliver and fast becoming irrelevant.
Too much analysis does indeed lead to paralysis.umno first doesn't know what to do despite the shriling and shrieking Quranic incantations of its secretary general. UMNO is in a state of rigor mortis, a bodily condition following death. That is what is happening to UMNO .
Even dr Mahathir, who has nothing to do with UMNO now, warned that UMNO risks being wiped out in the 16thh GE. Why should he be concerned about UMNO?
Unless, UMNO he says go back to its constricting and choking ethic extremism and chauvinistic proclamations. Which is a sure prescription for racial implosion.
The way forward for Malaysia is an acknowledgement of racial pluralism and harmony capitalising on the races best merits. Not the reactionary prescriptions of the doctor.
The hard truth on the ground is, racial harmony and accommodation is the norm and not incessant racial confrontation.
All the reasons given and rationalised by UMNO people, UMNO 'extras',UMNO deviants who got sacked and even busybody Dr Mahathir,share one common denominator
That one common denominator is that UMNO has a natural entitlement to rule. When UMNO loses the entitlement they , UMNO people go mad .
They become irrational, blamed others and choose to close their minds.
That they become irrational, lose their minds, enter into a state of non compos mentis, should not surprise us. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad .
With all the happenings in UMNO, it is indeed going mad. The election results deniers, cock and bull excuses , blaming others and intensification of chauvinistic proclamations, it is indeed going mad .
What will eventually follow is the destruction of UMNO. I am afraid, that part of dr Mahathir's prognosis that UMNO will be anihilated in the 16th GE, will be true. Hehe.
The only thing that surprises me is that dr Mahathir, who has nothing to do with UMNO,should be concerned over its fate. Why Maa?
UMNO does not represent ALL Malays, only the extremists, chauvinistic and right wing Malays. So the only reason dr Mahathir is concerned about UMNO could only be because he is actually a closet umnoist.
Perhaps eventually he hopes to be reinstated by UMNO as a person who continuously stirs up cause celebre. Then UMNO can say a wilted sireh pulang ke gagang.
How was it possible that UMNO who believes that's it is entitled to rule, has the mandate from heaven, lost badly in the kemaman by-election?
Some of the reasons, I have pointed out in my article, written a week before voting. See my article UMNO has 2 chances in the kemaman by-election, slim and none. I am sure other 'analysts have other reasons not thought of by me .
I look at the UMNO Now from different perspectives. Mamu Anwar may want to look at UMNO differently too.
The diminished majority in Pelangai and the embarassing loss in kemaman, showed that UMNO can't enter elections without the help of PH. It's a shell of its former self. Just a paper tiger
From afar, it looks manacing, when near we all say, ' cilaka it's only a paper tiger' meant to be burnt before the altar .
The UMNO Now,must necessarily force us to look at UMNO in the context of politics.
If we define politics to be the art of struggling, achieving and maintaining power, the present UMNO must be treated accordingly.
That is to treat UMNO as a diminished power, a shell of its former self and just a paper tiger. Not to elevate UMNO to prominence as if it has the Devine right to govern.
The reality is , UMNO is barely surviving on a respiratory machine provided by PH. Let us ease its passing and not give it more oxygen .
It seems, now is the season when crooked UMNO lawbreakers get off the hook. They are tried but eventually, acquitted. Bung Mokhtar joins the long list of UMNO rogues to be exculpated. They are now whiter than a white piece of cloth. Many of them got full acquittal. Bung Mokhtar, Azeez Rahim, Musa aman.others like Zahid got a partial acquittal. Enough to cause his supporters to celebrate. That has emboldened the UMNO hoi poloi. They are asking for a royal pardon for Ali babavum Najib. The behavior of the UMNO Malays in particular, God forbid other Malays is perplexing and personally to me, shameful. Because they are Malays and Muslims and as a bonus, UMNO they are by nature, entitled to special privileges and concessions. If they break the law they can be excused. They expect some leniency. That goes for being bumiPutra what. Notice that the phrase bumiPutra, has Bumi at the back, Putra at the front . All other citizens take a backseat to the bumiPutras and within the Malay race, the Putras come first. The Putra of the royalty, elite and the folks on the hill. People like Najib, because he is bumiPutra and a member of the aristocracy is entitled to special concessions. If he is jailed for 12 years now, he should get a 30% discount and because the king is seen as king to UMNO people only, he deserves complete freedom. To plunder more. The king is king to 32 million Malaysians less Najib. But you may wonder, who let these dogs and mongrels out? It's the Sungai long Bolshevik, the LV liberal, the latte socialist. He has accumulated a team of useful idiots now headed by the jawa penorogo.
1. Just a short commentary. What's our reaction upon hearing that the uncouth and unciviliized sorry excuse of a man, bung Mokhtar is acquitted!
2. Like my Chinese colleagues in shell used to say,' niama pukluk and tiu nia Seng
3. Don't ask me what they meant. I am not even whether the terms in the Chinese language exist .
4. But I am pretty sure that they were some pejorative terms said, when somethings are disagreeable with you.
5. I think that's what many of us, I included want to say upon hearing the oaf Bung Mokhtar got acquitted. Niama pukluk, niama kahai , tiu nia Seng and puki lu punya ama
6. That last derisive term was actually said to me. Many years ago, when I was 12, I think, at a very impressionable age, where somethings you remember for life. I was cycling from the market-yes I was doing market chores. My mother would write on a piece of paper, what to buy and I would buy them at the market .
7. I was cycling on a narrow lane ,when I knocked a Chinese man. Well not knocked but brushed him at the elbows with the handle of my bicycle. As I cycled past him, I turned around and said, sorry towkay
8. Instead of accepting my apologies, he barked at me and said, ' puki lu punya ama.'
9. My sentiments exactly, upon hearing the proboscis monkey got acquitted. He is mp of kebinatangan right?
10. Well, kinabitangan actually, but who effing cares .
11. Who let the dogs out,?. Ultimately, it's mamu Anwar. Through his pious but pompous, I tak campur urusan kehakiman .
12. Sure, those immediately responsible include the not so clever prosecution team, the cleverer defense team, the compliant judge and the bomohs in attendance. But ultimately it's papa Non and I will tell you why.
13. At this juncture, let me tell you about the paradox of the idle bystander and the drowning man.
14. A person standing idle, does nothing but watches another person drown, so the shyster lawyer says, is not liable in law. But as soon as he helps, but does not help properly, below the standard duty of care, he maybe liable in law .
15. That sounds a bit shitty to me. Your proximity to the drowning man, either physically or in terms of relationship between civilised people, precludes you from saying you are not legally responsible or that you owe no duty of care. You do .
16. Secondly, your behavior is not the behavior of the fabled reasonable man. A reasonable man would do anything to help. Extend a branch, throw a rope, a life ring, do something
17. So standing idle, doing nothing is unconscionable.
18. Regrettably, Anwar is like the idle bystander. He declares piously but pompously, that he does not interfere with the judiciary and law. That declaration only reveals the hypocrisy of the man.
19. As pm , he owes us all a duty to prevent a travesty of justice. Just as the idle bystander owes a duty to help the drowning man.
20. He is briefed, reads the Intel reports-he knows the proboscis monkey is guilty as hell. By doing nothing, he perpetuates a travesty of justice .
21. A good manager does his job right. A good leader does the right thing. By not doing anything, he is just a 2 bit manager .
22. Perhaps my DAP colleagues will rethink about Anwar. Whether he is just a 2 bit manager, or the leader we want .
23. So who let the dogs out? Papa Non be is the answer. Who shot the Robin?I said the sparrow. With my bow and arrow, I shot the Robin.
As I've repeatedly mentioned, I had a stroke nearly two years ago. Stroke is a debilitating illness. It affects you in ways you never imagine, physically and mentally.
People who suffer massive brain-stem strokes, as I did, generally have two outcomes: fatal or locked-in syndromes. Fortunately for me, I was the outlier to this though the cost of survival came with partial paralysis and speech difficulties. Still, my doctors remain certain of a full recovery. There have been improvements, albeit not as swiftly or as significantly as I would prefer. But I'm getting there, and my family and I are as steadily optimistic as my doctors.
But as with most great trials, my road to full recovery is not easy. More importantly, it is not cheap. From medical supplies to therapies to everyday expenses, finance can be a difficult issue. Therefore, I humbly appeal to my readers and fans for their sincere help during this troubling time. Any form of financial donation, big or small, is most welcome.
