The measure of a political party. Part 1. Sontoloyo series no 39

1. Some people still float the idea that UMNO must regain it's dominance for the sake of stability

2. Behind this idea that UMNO must regain dominance, an idea to which people cling on precariously and precipitously I might add is this erroneous belief:-

3. That UMNO is the spring from which all that is good for society flows from .

4. Like I say,it's and erroneous idea. Disputed.

5. People know of this. That's why they gave UMNO a beating in the 15th GE.

6. People, especially malays now know that UMNO inculcates the servile attitude.

7. The catchword is dominance. That's what actually UMNO wants.

8. The idea of dominance comes from the naturally conceited attitude of UMNO. It's hayeks fatal conceit.

8a. What UMNO really seek is Malay hegemony. That even the Malays themselves, object.

9. Free people don't want overly obtrusive interference with their lives.

10. Do you want a tajuddin ramli or a fuad zarkashi in your living room?

11. UMNO is still trapped in a worldview that thinks one power controls and determines the destiny of others.

12. So UMNO hubristically thinks itself at the patron taking care of its bowl in hand wards.

13. Hello tuan, that world is being taken over by a reality world.

14. The realty world is one which there are now multiple centres of influence.

15. These centres together share the responsibility in shaping the world and sharing in the prosperity created .

16. You become great by empowering others. Not by going around with a zero sum mentality.

17. Which is thinking you become great by minusing from others .

18. So instead of MUGA, make UMNO great again, let us all bury UMNO

19. That's because UMNO is an incorrigible entry, set in it's ways , impossible for us to change .

20. Once again, let's bury UMNO. It's driven by predatory instincts.

21. To me it's a question of political culture. Let's discuss this a little .

22. The most practical definition of political culture is the one given the lines of Lucien Pye.

23 . It's a set of beliefs, attitude and sentiments.

24. I want to add, a set of all that plus values and what Germans describe as weltanshauung.

25. It's the set of attitude, beliefs, sentiments, values and weltanshauung that convinces you with those you can secure political power .

26. When Anthony loke from the DAP for instance says that our(DAP) political culture is different, he's saying it not to argue but stating it as a matter of factly

27. Others can live by their political culture. It's no skin off DAPs nose .

28. It irritates many of us, when some people keep on repeating ad nauseam, umdap, umdap .

29. As though they have gone to bed and consummated their marriage of convenience.

30. Well I have news for them. Never the twain will meet.

31. Their political culture is diametrically opposed to one another, that's it's impossible for them to come together under the fictitious umdap.

32. But you can already see the sinister motive behind the fabrication.

33. In GE15, UMNO lost badly because of its own doing. In the next election these ' Firestone ' people are pre-empting the reasons for UMNO losing more badly.

34. This time ,UMNO will lose even worse because of its association with DAP .

35. The prescription is obvious. PH kicks out DAP.

36. Their suggestions as to what UMNO must do internally do not interest me, so I shan't discuss them .

37. The DAP believes in a Malaysian Malaysia. Not a Chinese Malaysia. Not an Indian Malaysia. Not a Malay Malaysia. Many of us increasingly do so too.

38. Malaysia is evolving into a world of shared responsibility and shared prosperity.

39. It's no longer a Malaysia defined and determined by UMNO alone. But by all stakeholders in Malaysia.

40. UMNO which is stucked in it's mental rut will find itself increasingly isolated.

41. Whether you liked or not, DAP is years ahead of anak Cina anak saya, anak India anak saya, anak IBAN anak saya. Anak melayu sememang nya.

42. There's an emerging realization too. We malays, are tired of the lie being perpetrated that UMNO is here to protect malays and defend Malay interests .

43. That's a load of BS. It's here all right, to defend and to protect the interests of the Putera in the bumiPutera.

44. It's not MUGA but let's bury UMNO.

45. Our constitution is the guiding principles and founding principles of our nation.

46. It's implementing arm is parliament. Parliament carries out the will of our constitution.

47. We measure the true character of a political party, by it's unshakeable belief and passion in using parliament in solving major political disputes and making major political changes.

48. Which means that major political disputes or major political changes that we want to make, ought to be debated parliament .

49. We believe in the constitution and it's only means of its will is parliament.

50. We don't take to the streets to effect changes. Doing so is just an act of political bullying and intimidation

51. That's the way of UMNO. Major political disputes and major political changes bypass parliament. Instead they use political bullying and intimidation to force it's will on us .

52. That's another reason why we must reject UMNO. It's inclination to disregard the constitution, institutions and the law if these do not bend to it's will. That's the UMNO way . It's also the way of the dictator.

53. However attractive and convincing the arguments to make UMNO great again and however plaintively promises are given that UMNO and BN will reorganize themselves, we must never be enticed .

54. UMNO is incorrigible and already set in it's ways. 55. Let's throw UMNO into the dustbin of history.

56. Living under UMNO is a horror story. We lived through that for 60 years .

57. Let's retire UMNO. It's prolonging its inevitable end by disingenuously and surreptitiously being part of PH.
