It is a fact. Umno will never get rid of ISA. I mean, can we see umnoputras saying they have had enough of nep? For the same reasons, I cant see umno repealing ISA. More than voter’s support, ISA is actually and trully umno’s strength and lifeline. They have nothing else, really.

The media used to be umno’s other pillar of strength but thanks to the simple “request / response” internet communication protocol, that pillar, although still standing today, is rendered less important.

We are now presented with an ideal opportunity to chip away umno’s strength – the ISA. The arrest and detention of Tan of Sin Chew is no brainer (actually would come across as humourous if it was by Mr. Bean), ultra vires the Act and a clear abuse of authority. The arrest and detention of Teresa Kok is lame, a clear abuse of authority and an attempt to stiffle opposition voices. And the arrest and detention of RPK is directed specifically at suppressing people’s freedom to express their thoughts in and through the internet.

Umno is running amok. That is obvious for all to see. With internal turmoil coming to a boil, those who are caught in a position of deperation will naturally lash out in all directions.

The actions and reactions of the Home Minister is a good barometer of umno’s internal sentiments and temperature. His denial of responsibility in respect of the parliament corridor saga, of the MT block and of Tan’s detention under ISA are some recent examples of hitting out in all directions.

Pm’s initial inertia and subsequent belated and wholly inadequate action towards the ahmad ismail racist remark is another good indication. He is lost and confused and does not know what to do.

And worse, just when he thought he had finally (although not satisfactorily at all) resolved the matter, syed botak saw it fil to blow the issue up again by arresting Tan. Is this a lack of coordination? Or is it a lost of control? Or maybe both?

Umno is sinking. Damage control is the only sensible thing to do and it will certainly alleviate its plight. Instead umno has decided to go on the offensive.

If I may predict, it will soon run out of steam and sink. Zaid’s resignation is a sign of the party running out of steam. Good for us. Good for the nation.

HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY!

Something may be said of Zaid.

Its a decision and its a decision.

“Peck Pau” means “Peck Pau”

(Peck Pau = police officer handing back gun i.e. resigning from the force, HK slang)

Unlike the infamous liong sik stun years ago.

Someone in this blog quite correctly pointed out that Zaid’s action is as good as a no confidence vote.

Those amoungst the umno goons still with a conscience should now follow. Remember we are all malaysians. We dont hate you just because you are in umno. We only disapprove of those in umno who called themselves leaders who manipulated you; and who in your name, benefited tremendously.
