A Single Spark that starts the prairie fire?

Dengar cerita CEO NFC (suami Sharizat) dpt gaji 100k sebulan, anak sulung (age 31) dpt gaji 45k sebulan, anak kedua (age 27)dpt 35k sebulan, anak ketiga (age 25) dpt 35k sebulan. Jika ini betul, ia sesungguhnya memalukan. Ambil duit rakyat buat bayar gaji besar.

Anak saya joke connoisseur juga. UPSR, PMR, SPM dapat semua A. Umur twenty-four tahun. Kerja swasta. Dia joke work hard. Balik kerja pale awal jam 9 malam. Kadang2 sampai 1 pagi. Gaji dia RM2,700/sebulan. Adakah anak saya akan sokong BN/UMNO kalau begini keadaannya? Saya dah tahu jawapannya. UMNO tak boleh kelentong orang cerdik. UMNO is not capable of changing, not with a stream leaders.

When some-more than 50% of a working population is earning less than RM2k/month, tak tahu malu ke mereka-mereka ini. Merompak siang dan malam, 7 hari seminggu. Perompak Ali Baba P Ramli joke ada cuti hujung minggu.

Even if we exclude to admit it, a upon top of is an outpouring of bitterness. Although personal as well as UMNO people will wish it's confined, a personal anecdote such as this which strikes fright in UMNO. Maybe it's already which singular primary hint which has ignited a prairie fire.

Shahrizat can pant as well as puff as well as wobble her tales as her mythical namesake did in 1001 Nights. While she can fool UMNO representatives by employing attack is a many appropriate form of defence, her actions have been usually an practice in futility. For her, a writing is already upon a wall. Whatever she does will not do widely separated with her blackened image.

Dr Mahathir has called for her exit from UMNO politics. She's finished. Incidentally, a 1001 Nights contained a story of Ali Baba as well as a 40 thieves which a bard of a criticism cited. Perhaps, Ali Baba as well as a thieves aptly report what UMNO has become.

This kind of anecdotal as well as really personalized tale of feeling marginalized as w! ell as a lienated reflects a wider sourness of Malays with UMNO. There is zero which UMNO can do about it now. It's a discredited brand. It's synonymous with pillage as well as plunder, corruption, arrogance which can usually be a outcome of being distant too prolonged in power. It's a phenomenon of a domestic dictum- energy corrupts positively as well as absolute energy corrupts absolutely.

Last year, each large thought thrown up by a UMNO president, were rejected by UMNO delegates. When he spoke about 1 Malaysia, representatives insisted upon Malay first, Malaysia second. The emissary UMNO boss was even forthright in affirming which line of thinking, which is some-more in common with a UMNO ground. Even as UMNO members repudiate it, there is worrisome disconnect between a UMNO boss as well as a rest of his team. When he spoke about his cloudy New Economic Model, representatives spoke about some-more NEP similar to policies.

In a end, what has Najib got to urge himself?

He has usually a claim which he is a son of Tun Razak- devising such pedigree is sworn statement which he won't desert beliefs dear to UMNO. When a person has zero else to urge himself though lay unclothed his bloodline certification it's a pointer he is in trouble. No a single can repudiate which biological connection. The similarities finish just there- as people have been arguing whether he has inherited a leadership bent of a father.

This year what has UMNO got? It didn't encourage representatives vocalization about economic achievements. No speak upon vision, policies as well as so forth. No a single debates about how Shahrizat got a RM 250 million. No a single spoke about a ETP, EPP, GTP as well as whatever labels a UMNO boss gave to his string of initiatives. None. The UMNO boss pleads for a single after another charge from a people as a Malay Agenda has not finished. No a single spoke or elaborated about a agenda.

How is which ! a bullet in can usually be completed by UMNO at all? No a single puts onward convincing arguments telling us why UMNO is a usually competent instrument for Malays to grasp their common agenda. Najib is confused about a concept which he came up when he took over Pak Lah which is, a claim which a age of supervision knows many appropriate is over. Yet, by asking a nation to give him a charge to enable him to continue a agenda, he is reaffirming a exact opposite. The supervision as well as a celebration is a deity as well as dispenser of what is great to a people.

The 2011 Umno GA was an occasion for an orgy of derogatory shouting match. UMNO does zero though destined themselves to aggressive as well as scornful a domestic opponents. UMNO does dual things actually- heightened a dark nationalism as well as nationalistic urges of Malays. And it does what it hasn't finished before- speak about Malays' biggest fear- assault upon a religion of Islam.

But here is a irony, just as Najib who final year had zero to offer though to invoke a name of his father, similarly too, this year, UMNO hasn't got anything.

Listening to a maddening speeches by UMNO delegates, we am reminded of what Arthur Schopenhauer in his Essays as well as Aphorisms said:-

"Every miserable fool who has zero at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a final resource pride in a nation to which he belongs; he is ready as well as happy to urge all a faults as well as follies tooth as well as nail, to illustrate reimbursing himself for his own inferiority."

That is what has UMNO become- an defective good. It is a great which decreases in demand as amicable recognition increases. Malays in rural areas have been not just insular in their outlook. They review a papers, assimilate what's written in between a lines. Their young kids come back as well as inform parents. UMNO can't fool all a people all a time with a scare mongering tactics! .

Every speaker comes up prior to a podium, trying to outdo a prior in conditions of bellicosity as well as vehemence. The specter of a Yellow Peril is upon us- Chinese will take widely separated Malay rights, turn Malays in to Christians, annul a kingdom as well as so forth. It's not starting to work since of millions of people have been thinking similar to a person sending in a upon top of comment.

People know. They speak between themselves. It has turn a outrageous income creation juggernaut. The ones creation income have been a UMNO chieftains, cronies, families. UMNO operates a hulk Ponzi scheme, not dissimilar to Harry Madoff's multi-level marketing.

It can't urge itself upon a lane record other than reminding people which UMNO has finished many for a people as well as country. That claim sounds hollow since ALL governments in a universe lift out programs as well as implement policies. Mubarak of Egypt did a same thing. Gaddafi gave Libyans many development as well as personal assistance to people. The Tunisian boss did many development for Tunisia. Therefore what UMNO did, is not singular in which it is sufficient for people to feel beholden as well as enslaved by UMNO.

I feel contemptible for a people who think, a widespread disenchantment with UMNO since 2008 as well as which has been office building up is dismissively noticed as a flash in a vessel as well as regarded, for self-assuring purposes, as mere criticism votes. This time it's real. Ordinary Malays have been encountering UMNO's dull claims of fighting for a seductiveness of Malays.

And UMNO people comprehend this. This is what UMNO fears most- when Malays themselves begin encountering what UMNO says as well as does.

The facts have been these- a people who have been ripping off Malays have been a UMNO elites. Since Mahathir took over, UMNO has evolved in to a company you do a gigantic Ponzi scheme. The elite, a UMNO chieftains! , their families as well as cronies have been ripping a Malays. The RM 500-million price from a squeeze of a submarines? It was widely separated between top UMNO leaders as well as it's rumored which a former PM got RM 160 million. Perhaps by proceed of this sedekah, a ill-gotten commission is cleansed no?

Who threatened a stately houses? UMNO did during a constitutional crisis years. UMNO leaders were a ones who proposed to tie up stately members upon trees as well as let a glow ants sting them. UMNO was at a back of a exposure of scandalous function of members of a stately family. It wasn't a Chinese who so many as sully a reputation of Malay rulers. we have said it before; a entrepreneurial Chinese would want to befriend a kingship so which by a stately houses, they can corner some-more businesses.

How can a numerically smaller organisation browbeat a larger group? How can DAP modify Muslims to Christianity when a infancy of DAP members have been themselves not Christians?

The usually proceed Malays remove everything, is a outcome of a rot in UMNO as well as UMNO says Dr Mahathir, is decaying to a core. It's decaying as a outcome of endemic corruption. We right widely separated speak of billions as well as not a few hundred thousand being ripped off.

How does UMNO re-flock Malays in to a fraternity? By preying upon irrational prejudices, fright as well as probably a little bad personal experience. This is a usually proceed UMNO can re-flock Malays.

It's a reaction which itself reflects fright as well as paranoia which have been enveloping UMNO now. It hasn't got any large ideas or visionary elements to bind a beliefs of Malays anymore. So, a usually proceed out is to sound as well as represent itself as a formidable champion of Malay extremism.

That proceed will fail simply since extremism as well as a nationalism promoted by UMNO have been seen as measures by leaders to preserve th! emselves . "Patriotism in a simplest, clearest as well as many categorical signification is zero else though a means of obtaining for a rulers their ambitions as well as covetous desires, as well as for a ruled a abdication of human dignity, reason, conscience, as well as a slavish enthrallment to those in power."
Leo Tolstoy said which a prolonged time ago.
