We have been told that UMNO has 3.2 million members. So how come it got only 3.2 million votes? Assuming all its members voted for their glorious party, then UMNO’s votes came from its own members. It can’t speak on behalf of the Malaysian people. It can’t even speak on behalf of the 7.8 million Malays who voted on the 5th May 2013 election.
So
where did the Perkasa guy get his figures when he declared that the UMNO government
should be thankful to the Malays for voting in UMNO and keeping it in power.
4.6 million Malays chose not to vote for UMNO. Unless 4.6million is smaller
than 3.2million.
We don't want to erase UMNO. UMNO can remain as it is- irrelevant and attracting the crass, crude and myopic leaders and adherents. The rest of the Malay race want to move forward. They only want to do so without UMNO.

BN has more than 7 million members. It got only 5.24 million votes. 2 million BN members did not vote for BN. BN can’t even speak for the Malaysian people.
It
is clear PR got more popular votes but that success is negated by gerrymandering
and the uneven distribution of voters per seat. PR has to contest in bigger
populated areas which could accommodate more parliamentary and state seats.
UMNO and BN represent seats which have less voice than the seats represented by
PR. 1 seat contested by PR is equivalent to 2 seats won by BN.
But
let us take on the Perkasa man on his declaration of Malay support to UMNO. UMNO
got 3.2 million votes. While its candidates were all Malays, its voters were
not. How many non-Malay voters voted for UMNO candidates on that 5th
of May? Let’s assume only 15%. That means 85% of the 3.2 million or 2.75
million voters who crossed X on the ballot papers were Malays. So, the non-Malays who voted for UMNO candidates amounted to nothing and instead were branded ingrates. So next time, don't vote for UMNO.
How
many Malay voters came out to vote? 7.8million. what does this mean? It means 5
million Malays did not vote UMNO on the 5th of May.
How
much did Najib spend on BR1Ms? He spent RM2 billion on BR1M 2012. For 2013, he
spent another RM3.5billion. He spent a total of RM5. 5billion on 11 million
recipients. Out of the 11 million, 4 million were previous recipients.
In
the first year he gave RM500 each to 4 million people. In the 2nd
year, he gave RM500 each to 3 million new recipients. The number of people who
received BR1M over a period of 2 years was 7 million.
Despite
paying off 7million people, BN secured 3.2 million votes. How many of those who
got RM500 each voted for BN?
Assuming
90% of the recipients were Malays, then there were 6.3 million Malay BR1M recipients.
How many Malay votes did UMNO get? 3.2 million votes. 3 million Malay BR1M recipients
did not vote UMNO who gave them RM500 each.
Why?
Because they know the government got the money from the withdrawn subsidies
totalling RM20billion. If the government gave out RM5.5billion, where is the
rest of the RM14.5billion?
Is
UMNO planning to use this RM14.5 billion to give loans to its cronies and
surrogate businesses?
