I am not the only person saying that UMNO has strayed from UMNO’s original nation-building principles embedded in the Constitution and Rukun Negara.

The first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn would never have made the brutally frank speech which the current UMNO President, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, made at the MIC Assembly last week – that the coming general election is to save UMNO and Barisan Nasional “Court Clusters” from being charged in court for corruption and being sent to jail.

Even the Perlis Mufti Mohd Asri is “stunned” that UMNO and BN’s objective in the 15GE is to make Malaysia a “haven for corruption”

(Versi BM)

Even the Perlis Mufti, Mohd Asri Zain is “stunned” that UMNO and Barisan Nasional’s objective in the 15th General Election is to make Malaysia a “haven for corruption” as stated by the UMNO and Barisan Nasional Chairman, Zahid Hamidi in his speech at the MIC Assembly on Monday.

Mohd Asri tweeted yesterday: “Stunned after hearing how a politician can openly admit (that his political party/coalition) has to win the general election to avoid corruption charges against them. If that happens, this country will become a haven for corruption.” (Terkesima mendengar, bagaimana secara terang orang politik boleh mengaku tujuan untuk menang PRU adalah bagi mengelakkan kes rasuah mereka dibicarakan di mahkamah. Jika itu berlaku, negara ini akan jadi SYURGA RASUAH) Read the rest of this entry »

Call on Ismail Sabri to declare that Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara will meet from Oct. 3 to Dec. 7 as planned that there will be no attempt on his part to dissolve Parliament in between

(Versi BM)

Dewan Rakyat meets today under a cloud – whether Malaysia will become a joke in the world with the convening of the parliamentary session where the primary questions are not the economic crisis facing the country as a result of rising prices and a depreciating ringgit, and the forthcoming monsoon and floods season which claimed 54 lives and caused RM6.5 billion damage to property last year, but whether Parliament will be dissolved although there is no motion of vote of no confidence against the Prime Minister in the current session.

Parliamentarians regardless of party must safeguard the dignity and good name of the Malaysian Parliament and not allow 36 UMNO MPs to bring Parliament into disrepute because its “Court Cluster” leadership wants UMNO leaders to escape jail sentences for corruption charges.

If Parliament is not dissolved in the next two to three weeks, then the 15th general election will be next year

(Versi BM)
If Parliament is not dissolved in the next two to three weeks, then the 15th general election will be next year.

The top UMNO leadership, which is now meeting in Kuala Lumpur on this question, wants the15GE to be held immediately, regardless of the problems of the people in terms of rising prices and depreciation of the ringgit, and also in utter disregard of the threat of the monsoon and floods season, which has started in some parts of the country and cost 54 human lives and damaged RM6.5 billion of property last year.

UMNO leaders are getting very desperate and blatant – they attack the judiciary for Najib going to jail instead of condemning corruption and they want early general election even to “wade through floods” to tell the world that 1MDB scandal is not a corruption scandal

(Versi BM)

UMNO leaders are getting very desperate and blatant – they attack the judiciary for the former Prime Minister Najib Razak going to jail instead of condemning corruption and they want early general election even to “wade through floods” to tell the world that 1MDB scandal is not a corruption scandal.

The UMNO President Zahid Hamidi made “twists and turns” trying to explain his speech at the launch of the BN machinery in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday on UMNO’s preparedness to “wade through floods” in the 15GE. Read the rest of this entry »

Monstrous mega RM50 billion 1MDB scandal is an acid test whether a political party is for or against corruption and whether it is against Malaysia becoming a kleptocracy

(Versi BM)

It is as national tragedy that Sultan Nazrin of Perak should be reminding Malaysians not to be in denial and not to perform “mental acrobatics to deny the existence of the corruption ‘elephant’ that is vividly happen in front of our eyes”.

It shows how corruption has become a major problem in Malaysia. Read the rest of this entry »

Call on Zahid to withdraw his statement that UMNO leaders are prepared to “wade through floods” if 15GE held during monsoon and floods disasters to prove that UMNO is still a responsible and people-oriented party

(Versi BM)

I call on the UMNO President, Zahid Hamidi, to withdraw his statement that UMNO leaders are prepared to “wide through floods” if the 15th General Election is held during monsoon and floods disasters to prove that UMNO is still responsible and people-oriented party.

The first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jafaar, Tunku Abdul Raman. Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn would never have said such a thing and regard the loss of 54 lives and RM6.5 billion losses to property as happened last year because of monsoon and floods catastrophe as an irrelevant trifle which should be disregarded, and shows how different is UMNO today under Zahid Hamidi from the UMNO in its founding years.

Has UMNO from a party of independence fighters become a party of kleptocrats?

With Rosmah’s conviction and jail sentence, there is more light at the tunnel but the big battle will be the 15th General Election as even the UMNO Secretary-General has agreed that it will be a battle of Rule of Law versus Corruption

With Rosmah Mansor conviction and jail sentence for corruption, a week after Federal Court’s unanimous dismissal of the former Prime Minister’s appeal on Najib’s first corruption trial, there is more light at the end of the tunnel.

There is no guarantee that the “more light at the end of the tunnel” will represent the final victory of the return of the original nation-building principles and policies as stated in the Malaysian Constitution and Rukun Negara, as there is a big battle looming ahead – the 15th General Election.

A new chance for a national reset to return to the original nation-building principles and policies in the Constitution and Rukun Negara to make Malaysia a world-class great nation

(Versi BM)

Malaysia is 65 years old – at a critical point whether we continue to regress and lose out to more and more countries or we bestir ourselves in a national reset to become a world-class great nation.

The jailing of a former Prime Minister is heart-breaking, but it a clear sign that Malaysia can move forward to a national reset and return to the original nation-building principles and policies in the Constitution and Rukun Negara to become a world-class great nation.

Are some UMNO leaders super-quick in repudiating Najib Razak but for the wrong reasons?

(Versi BM)

The suggestion by the Johore state assembly speaker Puad Zarkasi that UMNO and BN cannot have a poster boy who is over perasan (self-engrossed) and lembik (weak) raises the question whether some UMNO leaders are super-quick in repudiating Najib Razk but for the wrong reasons.

Puad said on his Facebook that having a “poster boy” could backfire and suggested for Umno and BN to capitalise on the time-tested BN logo instead. Read the rest of this entry »

Is Najib prepared to take an oath that he has nothing to do with the RM9 billion littoral combatant ship (LCS) scandal?

(Versi BM)

Former Prime Minister Najib Razak has lapsed into silence on the RM9 billion littoral combatant ship (LCS) scandal after he realised that he had made a strategic mistake by being in the forefront in the first week the Public Accounts Committee report on the LCS scandal was tabled in Parliament on August 4, 2022.

He was even more outspoken than the current Defence Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein and the Defence Minister when the disastrous RM9 billion LCS procurement was decided upon in 2011 – Ahmad Zahid Hamidi the current UMNO President. Read the rest of this entry »

The Malaysian public are now very confused: why is UMNO now hostile to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on the RM9 billion littoral combatant ship (LCS) scandal when earlier that Defence Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, had promised to act based on the PAC’s recommendations on the LSE scandal?

The latest development of the LCS scandal saw the current and former PAC chairmen trading barbs, with Johore UMNO deputy chief and former PAC Chairman Nur Jazlan Mohamd accusing his successor Wong Kah Woh of abusing his position to benefit Pakatan Harapan with Wong responding that the PAC was a bipartisan body and all of its reports were produced based on consensus.
