One UMNO branch head was shot dead; two Divisional committee members including an ADUN are facing corruption charges. There are also reports on money politics and unruly conduct like throwing punches and chairs by members at these meetings.
And of late a Divisional head defies UMNO President and his Deputy by refusing to make a public apology for making a purportedly “seditious” remark during the recent Permatang Pauh by election. Surprisingly he is getting the support of all the other Divisional Heads in the State of Penang, home of the Prime Minister and UMNO President.
Why are all these happening and who is behind it all?
Seriously, UMNO is in a total DISARRAY now. As a political party UMNO has become weak and made worst by a weak leader who just want to FOCUS on his personal matters prior to leaving the scene in June 2010. Meanwhile the country is being run on auto pilot. As a result the non Bumi component parties in the Barisan are becoming very vocal on their demands and have become to the point of being disrespectful on issues sensitive to the Malays. UMNO seems to take on all to itself with little or no regard to the other partners in the Barisan. This does not augur well with the Barisan spirit. And on top of that UMNO itself is besieged with its own internal problems.
Now Tun Mahathir wants to lick his spit by rejoining UMNO. He had expressed his intention through Muhyidin Yasin who was present at meeting in Mahathir's residence in Cyberjaya recently. The meeting was called by the Tun. Also present were Tunku Razaleigh who Mahathir endorsed to fight Pak Lah for the UMNO President. So now you see the scenario shaping up.
Tengku Razaleigh and Muhyidin will be the duo to challenge Dollah and Najib for the No 1 and No 2 positions respectively.
For UMNO youth there will be Mukhriz against Khairy.
Khir Toyo and Adnan (pic) are jokers only and just become vote spoilers.
Joker 1 of 2
But the ultimate or bigger scenario is this.... If Ku Li succeeded in getting nominated for the Presidency thru the present quota system, many BELIEVE that he will win the Presidency when voting by delegates will be “secret”. At least that is how it appears. The people at large, the business community, and the foreigners know Ku Li is much better than Dollah in most respects and can count on him to lead the country. But you know this is more than what it appears on the surface.
Remember the aftermath of the 1986 UMNO election when Mahathir beat Ku Li for the president and subsequently UMNO was declared illegal. Ku Li was ostracized by Mahathir because he does not want Ku Li to lead UMNO. Now Mahathir wants Ku Li to lead UMNO and become Prime Minister. What an ABOUT TURN of events or what a paradox!!
Why Mahathir wants Ku Li to be PM? Perhaps, if Anwar becomes PM, all Mahathir’s corrupt practices in the past during his premiership if any , will be EXPOSED even more vigorously than what Pak Lah is now doing. Pak Lah is just correcting the abuses and misdeeds of Tun Mahathir no more any less. He has not SPECIFICALLY dug anything the Tun did MISUSING his power which Anwar had in fact done. In fact Anwar had made POLICE REPORTS and REPORTS to the ACA on Mahathir before, besides filing civil suits against him.
That is why Mahathir said if Anwar become the PM he will leave this country just like many of his friends did e.g Fujimori of Peru and Marcos of the Philippines. The late Suharto would have done the same thing when the arms of the law were getting closer and closer to him but was saved by his age and health. Right now the Tun does not SLEEP at night since Anwar came into Parliament.
Some say he is occasionally “URINATING IN HIS TROUSERS when someone mentioned Anwar coming to be the next PM".
But will he be SAFE under Tengku Razaleigh as PM? Ku Li had been on a “love-hate” relationship with Mahathir for years since leaving UMNO and formed Semangat 46. Yes, Tun Mahathir will be safer under Tengku Razaleigh. Mahathir knew too much on Ku Li’s alleged involvement in the Bank Bumiputra fiasco in Hong Kong that led to the murder of Jalil, the Banks’ executive and his other activities in the 70’s and early 80’s when he was so powerful. So Mahathir has got Tengku Razaleigh’s very much UNDER HIS CONTROL. So, if Ku Li tries to be funny after becoming PM he will face disastrous consequences and his premiership will be short lived.
This in a NUTSHELL is what is at stake. The entire goings on now within UMNO, among BN components and whatever manifestations we now see are being orchestrated by Mahathir and gang. You see how INFLUENTIAL he is even after retiring and out of UMNO.
The present clashes between UMNO and Gerakan in Penang and putting Dolah and Najib in the midst of it all are all the result of Mahathir’s SCHEME to embarrass Najib and Dolah so much so their CREDIBILITIES are now questioned especially by the Malays.
To Mahathir, Dolah and Najib are just his boys who can be manipulated especially when they did not obey his orders! And they are STILL ARE until to day don’t you see. So who is the GODFATHER? What is his next move between now and December and thereafter? AND don’t forget the other side of the equation ANWAR and his PAKATAN move to wrest the Government by 16 September or at some later dates?
The COUNTDOWN has begun.
