My attention has been drawn to the headings in the UMNO printed media, namely Utusan Malaysia, New Straits Times and Berita Harian, today to news reports of the statement by UMNO Information Chief, Tan Sri Annuar Musa, viz:
“Kit Siang jangan masuk campur” – (Utusan Malaysia). “Keep your mouth shut, Annuar tells Kit Siang” (New Straits Times) “Kit Siang diminta usah campuri urusan UMNOI” (Berita Harian).
Very polite language indeed. I should tell Annuar that if he thinks he is a protected species, he should pay heed to the saying: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”.
Despite the lies, fake news and false information peddled by UMNO leaders like Annuar, I have never interfered in the internal affairs of another party, let alone UMNO!
Horror of horrors, is Annuar Musa suggesting that I had previously interfered with UMNO’s internal affairs, and that was why UMNO had suffered the unexpected electoral disaster in the 14GE on May 9, 2018, and evicted from Putrajaya, the seat of Federal government power, for the first time in 61-year national history?
It would appear that I had been so ubiquitous that I was not only dominating and directing Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, Mohamad Sabu and other leaders to act on my behest, I was even directing Datuk Seri Najib Razak and other UMNO leaders to act according to my dictates.
When will Annuar, like other UMNO leaders, wake from their hallucination and bubble of their own making – though at great expense to the Malaysian public?
No, Annuar Musa, I am not dominating or directing any other political leader or political party!
UMNO is doing quite well on its own steam, with Najib’s 1MDB scandal and Annuar’s MARA scandal in the sea of kleptocracy in Malaysia – and UMNO’s brand of toxic politics of race, religion, hate, fear and lies under Najib to polarise and further divide plural Malaysia.
Those who believe that UMNO’s future salvation lies in Annuar are welcome to their hallucination.
A vote for Annuar Musa in the UMNO General Assembly will be a vote for the UMNO DNA of kleptoracy and toxic politics of race, religion, hate and lies.
Thanks to old-guards like Annuar Musa, UMNO is doing quite well in destroying itself. In fact, in the 14GE, UMNO made history with 30% of UMNO members refusing to vote UMNO.
For the first time in UMNO history, UMNO secured less votes than its total party membership.
UMNO claims to have a total membership of 3.6 million members, but the total votes polled by UMNO candidates came only to 2.5 million voters.
UMNO has now followed the footsteps of MCA, securing less votes than total party membership strength.
Was Annuar being cynical when he mocked MCA as having to “buy its own tombstone”?
