Reforming UMNO.

1. A famous poet once said. 'Give me a tongue. I want to speak freely. Like the pounding waves. On the independent shore. For so long we die in loyalty. It's time we live in rebellion. Things must be questioned one by one. Lest we be blind followers'.

2. These words were spoken by the late Kassim Ahmad. They were contained in a book consisting of an anthology of poems and short stories. The book is 'kemarau dilembah'. I read it in 1975. The younger generation should read it

3. That reversal of thinking should be our true north to avoid being blind followers. Every assumption and narratives by discrepit UMNO leaders must be re-examined.

4. We are actually caught in between the terrible clash of democracy and autocracy. Democracy is shared truths while autocracy entails shared lies. Unfortunately now autocracy is on the ascendency.

5. For over 60 years while UMNO was in power, we were constantly fed with lies. They left a permanent imprint in our minds. Lies about fake selective persecution when they are deserved, lies about corruption being just a perception when they are true and cancerous to the lies about xenophobic nationalism masking systemic racism. When are we going to end these lies?

6. The lies are repeated over and over again in Goebells like fashion that they are accepted as true. They are accepted as that by servile Malay minds. It's a crying shame.

7. The purveyors of these lies are the defunct UMNO leaders such as Tajuddin, Nazri Aziz, Ahmad Maslan, the fake Tengku, 'empty vessel' Bung et al. And of course the liars in chiefs Najib and Zahid.

8. While this abberation of an UMNO leadership is embraced by the UMNO rank and file, sane, rational and colllected leaders such as Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Noraini Ahmad and Shamsul Nasrah and others are sidelined and ignored.

9. That lunacy is the consequence of indoctrination by crooked UMNO leaders.

10. The objective then is to be free from the doctrinaire dictatorship of the defunct leadership.

11. Know that these leaders are not indispensable. If any of them were to be expelled the sun will surely rise tomorrow.

12. Let us now debunk some of these false narratives one by one. Stripped of their lies they are nothing but extensions of their author's bigotry and hate ideology.

13. Take for example the oft repeated lies about selective persecution. What's so selective when the crime justifies the prosecution? We are diverted astray by the adjective 'selective' to ignore the crime commited. Don't fall for the verbal sleight of hand.

14. Was the prosecution against Najib selective when he stole from SRC? He was the sole perpetrator. There was a crime. Would it not be selective if we were to prosecute Jinjang Joe instead of Najib? That would be stupid of us wouldn't it if we were to do that.

15. Was it selective of us to prosecute Teuku Adnan when it was he who committed corruption?

16. The lies about selective prosecution were all balderdash and sour-grapish of the perpetrators and their lackeys. When you don't know how to dance you complain that the floor is not level.

17. Another lie often bandied around is that corruption is just a perception. Its real and actual. Malaysia has even dropped further the corruption scale! So perception my foot!

18. Not only corruption is no longer just a perception and mere suspicion, it appears to be unbridled during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's like scooping in muddy waters. We learnt that Iris Corporation just got RM1.16billion contract.

19. I am sure there is more than meets the eye at this miraculous success of Iris Corp.

20. Just a few days ago we heard 'bully boy' Tajuddin lamenting about Non-Malay cartel of the meat industry. For good measure why not extend it to the vegetable cartel and business in general?

21. Who enabled the Non Malays to form the cartel? Why won't the Malays do the business themselves? Making such an accusation is just part of systemic racism so loved by Tajuddin and his ilk.

22. What would people like Tajuddin would have us do? Throw all the Chinese in the ocean? Create our own Hitlerian final solution? Have our own pogrom.

23. The hypocrisy of beating the racist drum should be obvious to us. We are asked to hate the Chinese while people like Tajuddin have Chinese business partners and bed partners.

24. So reject the sham politics of these tricksters. Didn't the Quran tell us that God created the different races, males and females so that we could befriend each other? Hating each other is man made, so it can be unmade.

25. UMNO members are told to care more about what's happening to najib, zahid, adnan mansor and so on. Hey these people are rich beyond imagination. You are poor. To hell with them!

26. Not many people are talking about reforming UMNO to save UMNO. Bring the good people like Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and others to the fore. We have no time to lose.
