The Impending Umno War.

1. Zahid Hamidi sowed his own seeds of destruction when he appointed Ismail Sabri as pm. It wasn't a show of magnanimity when umno approved Ismail as pm.

2. The Bagan Latuk mp was beset with a slew of court cases. He recognised he would be a liability to umno. In a way, it's an admission of guilt on his part.

3. Zahid had no choice, but to give way to the next ranked leader of umno to be proposed as pm. Clearly it wasnt a show of goodwill on his part.

4. Do you think Zahid doesnt want to be pm? A position that gives him power over life, death and taxes? He certainly could find some pliable enough judges to make his and his ilks's cases go away.

5. En passant(not the chess move) it means that not all judges are made of stout constution. As for Zahid, he must have rue the day when he made the fatal decision to allow Ismail be the pm.

6. Its water under the bridge, rice has turned into porridge. But such a stupid decision is expected from a dullard like him.

7. To Zahid, Ismail is now the Sword of Damocles, pointing direct to his heart. Ismail is no more the obsequious subordinate.

8. You can already read the writing on the wall. Ismail Sabri has already ignored several of Zahid's and umno's policies. He's rubbishing them.

9. But Zahid is too much a dullard to see these. Ismail has blatantly disregarded the umno general assembly's resolution and mkts directive that all umno members to resign from holding ppbms government posts.

10. Ismail himself never resigned. Indeed, he and 'mad dog' Nazri did some last minute manoeuvrings to seize power.

11. The actions of Ismail and several others, who ignored umnos resolution and directive, were acts of insubordination and mutinous. They were acts of betrayal.

12. Zahid forgot that a rule of a pack like umno is that forms of betrayal must be avenged and punished, and not rewarded.

13. Hence, people like Nazri, Shahidan, and Anuar Musa will forever think that Zahid is the thickest of all umno presidents.

14. To add insult to injury, Ismail appointed Zahid's detractors to cabinet posts. Recently, these people held a pc of defiance. That's a declaration of war to Zahid, essentially.

15. I am not judging Ismail, saying it's good or bad. But those are signs of quite ruthlessness to seize and retain power. All hail to him.

16. Ismail must now exploit all the advantages and fight a battle he can win.

17. The chief advantage he has is a psychological one. The umno people are unaccustomed at seeing the PM NOT the party president. He has won the battle of the mind.

18. There is thus a ready mindset to accept him as also the party president.

19. Then, he has the support of Zahid's detractors, who can serve as his warlords. By appointing many of these to cabinet and GLC posts, he has ensured that Zahid's loyalists are out of orbit.

20. Zahid's eventual downfall is the result of his own doing. He did not expel his enemies and did not avenge betrayal.

21. Why should he help the court cluster group? Let them die a natural death. Let them be too preoccupied, and in particular let Najib shout himself coarse and blue in the face.

22. Ismail must now send his emissaries and cultivate the ketua perhubungan and bahagian.

23. On the ashes of this war, he can start building an honest government and please downsize the bloated cabinet.

24. By having such an agenda, he can win the alliance of party seniors who have been duped by Zahid and his accomplices. Its no loss cultivating people like Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

25. Ismail must strike while the iron is still hot. Carpe  Diem!
