********************

When they reached this juncture where Dr Salleh had to be charged for CBT, fraud as well as abuse, then usually she gave in. Her Cabin! et colle agues lauded this move as "Brave as well as best interest of a party". The most critical questions which UMNO leaders should ask is, "At what cost?".

It is a politically really dear for BN as well as UMNO.

On twenty-eight Mar 2009 when Prime Minister Dato' Seri Mohd. Najib Tun Razak spoke for a initial time as a President of UMNO in his acceptance debate during a final moments of which year's UMNO General Assembly, he betrothed of 3 things. One of it is "To combat corruption". The Malaysian public wearing away of certainty to a ruling party has been marred really bad by corruption as well as abuse of power practices, which saw good increase during five as well as a half years of PM 'Flip-Flop' Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's tenure.

This 'perception' emanate has actually brought down certainty upon Prime Minister Najib's leadership a few notches, even yet he is highly a renouned domestic leader. Example during hand was when you were following a Menteri Besar you do his 'walkabout' in 3 different DUNs In February. This MB went during UMNO/MCA/MIC branch level to assimilate issues upon a ground. We were astounded which one of a top most national bulletin which was raised in roughly all 'peti undi' in these 3 DUNs was about "NFC scandal".

We were in London recently. We met alone a handful of Malaysians living as well as studying abroad, as well as spoke to them during length over most issues. Some, have been there for over 3 decades. They follow Malaysian governing body really closely. Even a students. They review a blogs. All of them were raising about a "NFC scandal".

Prime Minister Najib should have been really wilful upon this matter, even as distant behind as late Nov 2011 (just prior to a UMNO GA). Anywhere, Malaysians speak about a "NFC scandal". The vast design comes first. We (these Londoners were in touch) communicated when a headlines of Sharizat resignation as well as Dr Salleh's assign widespread really quick to their attention. The indica! te they all raised, "How to 'repair' a notice damage as well as is there sufficient time prior to a nest GE?".

Our answer, "Its a domestic opportunity cost". Even you have been not convinced of a damage done.

Prime Minister Najib contingency remind his Cabinet, UMNO Supreme Council, BN High Council as well as UMNO party members during vast in clever bold words which he mean business as well as do not tolerate issues which is potentially scandalous. Nip it in a bud. Kill prior to a story is even authorised to freshness in a brand new media. BN can no longer means anymore scandal, no make a difference how trivial. It is politically suicidal.

Wanita UMNO contingency be made to understand. Their Boss is 'tainted'. They cannot means to be sentimental as well as romantic about it. Sharizat, should leave Wanita UMNO too. Especially after which closing residence to final year's Wanita UMNO Assembly. It should be an unconditional withdrawal as well as Wanita UMNO contingency accept this. - bigdogdotcom
