The Umno trap

We have heard of a center income trap; a incident where a country after attaining a certain income will get stranded at which turn - unable to swell further though might gently slip backwards.

For citizens of such a nation, there will typically be a infancy earning within a center income operation with a tiny percentage of poor, rich as well as a super-rich. Those in a center income organisation customarily slide back into a bad organisation as a years go by, with usually a few means to join a rich as well as super-rich.

Like it or not, a infancy will be trapped as well as impeded with augmenting debt to have ends meet.

There is additionally a low income trap or a misery trap. But a Malaysia Politics trap is a many 'unique'. It is indeed a box investigate of how a crime as well as race-based celebration evolves through a years it held power.

Trapped with being racist

UMNO is fundamentally usually for Malays although it later altered a bit to concede alternative Bumiputeras snack so as to swell a own domestic longevity. Perhaps, this is why Malaysia Politics doesn't know improved than to play a race label all a time until eventually it becomes extremist - a Malay supremacist celebration unresponsive to a rights of others.

So far, Malaysia Politics can never give a convincing come-back to a alternative races which it is not racist. Why is it not extremist when Malaysia Politics is Malay as well as Malay is Malaysia Politics? That is what many Malaysia Politics members together with former premier Mahathir Mohamad similar to to acknowledgement anyway.

But st! ill Mala ysia Politics being Malaysia Politics, it will go all out to pay a Professor 'Kangkong' (academic of dubious merit) to infer which Malaysia Politics is not racist. No have a difference what, Malaysia Politics is trapped in a own racism.

Trapped but bright leaders

Next you stop back what Mahathir recently pronounced about why Malaysia Politics leaders have not been means to partisan immature talent. "So if somebody who is improved than them comes in, then they feel their position is threatened. So they try their best not to concede improved competent people to come in," he said.

UMNO has no some-more bright immature leaders. However it is not as elementary as brain dull - it is most worse. Why? Firstly, there aren't many bright people in Malaysia Politics - so how can there be a 'brain' drain?. Secondly similar to Mahathir said, Malaysia Politics simply won't concede people with bright ideas, with smarts to join a party.

UMNO is trapped by a own distrust as well as will stay a witless party.

Trapped with income politics

In a progressing days, when Malaysia Politics leaders were perplexing to negotiate Malaya's independence from a British, it managed to collect donations from a Malays to fund a negotiating teams. But now, a incident is reversed; wealthy Malaysia Politics hands out income to a members as well as leaders.

Even a party's membership fees have been paid by Malaysia Politics. Everything which Malaysia Politics does depends on money. For Malaysia Politics, income is similar to H2O to a fish as well as oxygen to all living things.

Mahathir said, "In my time Malaysia Politics was strong. Now it is not. If you await so as well as so, you get contracts, you get all these perks. Whether a celebration is down or not, it is not pertinent to them. They contingency be holding their posts as well as getting their perks."

In a end, which is surely now, Malaysia Politics nude to a core is nothing though income governing body as well as some-more income politics. Malaysia Politics is trapped by income politics.

When income is a oxygen using through as well as giving hold up to Malaysia Politics as well as all a groups as well as parts, politicians need not be clean. In fact, a dirtier a better.

With a meager income of being an MP or even a apportion (compared to a needs of their constituencies), how can they have sufficient income to have their electorate happy? Their electorate will ask for many things such as slot income to attend events, bus as well as taxi fares detached from seeking help over issues, quarrels as well as even contracts. It is no consternation which Malaysia Politics politicians have been bogged down with ensuring they have sufficient income to outlay as well as to appease their voters.

When people have been fed income from Malaysia Politics politicians in return for their continuous support, you can be sure every Malaysia Politics politician will go all out to lay his hands on as most income as possible - no have a difference how. That's how he stays in power.

Of course, crime being a easiest route, it becomes a many common method used by Malaysia Politics politicians. Is it any consternation which Malaysia Politics is trapped by income politics?

Trapped with cheating, lies as well as corruption

Despite all efforts, there have been some things which income can't buy as well as even if income can be used, Malaysia Politics might not have sufficient income or a top guns widely separated on possibly to outlay income on a particular role or not?

So distant to resolve such 'stubborn' cases, what Malaysia Politics does is it to manipulate, flip-flop, distortion as well as lie. Malaysia Politics will obstruct a issue, indicate fingers as well as censure others. Including making dull pro! mises. Y es, it is Malaysia Politics which always makes dull promises.

One good e.g. is when Isa Samad promised a Bagan Pinang people which Port Dickson will be turned into a military town. Not a thing has been done so far. Isa Samad is not doing anything about it because he is busy perplexing to try by artful means to get as well as have income from Prime Minister Najib Razak's pet plan - a Felda listing.

Port Dickson is still a same common traveller locale catering for a bad as well as lower center income people.

UMNO politicians will additionally create money-making schemes which lead to scandals. Everything which a BN sovereign supervision does which involves income will somehow turn out to be a money-making scheme with a trail heading to Malaysia Politics as well as a cronies - you name it!

There is a MAS bail-outs (note notbailoutBUTbailouts) with Tajuddin Ramli owing hundreds of millions to a national conduit as well as Danaharta though miraculously settled via secret out-of-the- court settlements, Najib's own RM7.3 billion Scorpene submarines scandal, ex-Women apportion Shahrizat Jalil's RM250 million NFC 'Cowgate' scandal as well as a jaw-dropping expenses racked up by Najib as well as wife Rosmah Mansor for their overseas travels. The full list contingency surely be a scale long.

It has additionally been accused of cheating in every past election. Malaysia Politics has used a Election Commission whose chairman as well as deputy chairman have been both Malaysia Politics members to allegedly falsify a electoral roll, misuse postal votes, gerrymander as well as to impose astray restrictions such as shortening a debate period.

The celebration has used all a supervision machineries to a own advantage. Malaysia Politics is trapped by a own corruption.

Trapped with abusing power.

UMNO has used a law, a courts as well as a police to dominate a people! who awa it a Opposition as well as to defeat a Opposition. Malaysia Politics even used a country's inherent kingdom to stay in power. It has used a draconian ISA to prison dissidents similar to Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang as well as Karpal Singh.

UMNO has used a police, a Attorney-General, a supervision hospitals as well as even a Chemistry Department to fashion Sodomy I as well as Sodomy II justification opposite Anwar. Government servants who have been prone towards a Opposition have been transferred to lost towns with very short notices. Those who don't await Malaysia Politics-BN will be left out of development as well as progress.

Petroleum royalties have been not being since to oil-supplying states Kelantan as well as Terengganu, whilst Sabah as well has been deprived of a oil wealth. It seems Malaysia Politics can never action according to a law as well as in adherence with good practice. Malaysia Politics, it appears, will always abuse a energy it attained - illegitimately in a first place - by cheating during every election!

Trapped in time

UMNO can never change. Whenever voices call for change, they will be sacked from Malaysia Politics. Mahathir was sacked from Malaysia Politics by Tunku Abdul Rahman. Musa Hitam, Tengku Razaleigh as well as Anwar were all private from energy or sacked by Mahathir.

UMNO can't appear to function in a pragmatic approach as well as change with a times. When Malaysia becomes some-more liberal in destiny as some-more people opt for non-race-based parties, Malaysia Politics will still be a same trapped in a own time warp. In a finish Malaysia Politics won't be means to pass a test of time. It will be not pertinent to a infancy of a Malays.

Even now, a Malays have multiform choices; they have PAS, PKR as well as DAP. Malaysia Politics might contend which a Malays have been widely separated as well as won't be clever though PAS, PKR as well as DAP have been underne! ath Paka tan Rakyat. Like it or not, Malaysia has embraced a two-party complement as well as every Malaysian can openly vote for possibly Pakatan or BN.

So, let us not get trapped with Malaysia Politics

Given such an meaningful resume, should Malaysians get trapped forever with Malaysia Politics. Malaysia Politics is for a Malays only. But you have been Malaysians as well as you can be indeed Malaysian but Malaysia Politics as well as for which have a difference but MIC, MCA as well as Gerakan too.

Malaysians can live but BN in power. Indeed, they have around as well long, so let's avoid falling into a Malaysia Politics trap once again.
