Umno infighting: Will BN lose Perlis

CLOSING RANKS- It will be a tragedy for Barisan Nasional if it were to remove Perlis because of infighting

BENEATH a smiles as good as a handshakes, it is an open secret which Perlis Umno leaders have been still locking horns, notwithstanding a imminent ubiquitous election.

The heated contention between a leaders in a little state is reaching higher decibels these days, as good as there have been no signs of abatement.

The problem, which has dragged upon for too long, is positively causing a major headache for top Barisan Nasional leaders.

In Perlis, a feuding camps have even taken their quarrels in to cyberspace notwithstanding a comparatively limited Internet access in a state.

"It does not matter which many people here do not have easy access to a Internet. The thought is to pass a message to a top celebration leaders in Putrajaya which all is not good in Perlis. Of course, this approach has backfired to a sure extent," pronounced a endangered Perlis Umno veteran.

What is more worrying is which a Umno infighting is already being exploited by a opposition.

Pas deputy boss Mohamed Sabu as good as his reflection in Parti Keadilan Rakyat, Azmin Ali, mostly acknowledgement in their ceramah which they have been merely repeating what has been revealed by Perlis Umno leaders themselves.

Perlis Pas government official as good as antithesis personality Hashim Jasin once told a state public which he would not need to comment further, when debating a bill, as "others have a lot to say", implying Barisan Nasional backbenchers would do a pursuit for him. Hashim, who is Sanglang assemblyman, told Harakah Daily recently which former menteri besar Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim had admitted to him which Perlis Umno was right away split in to 4 factions.

In other words, Pas, which has two seats in a 15-seat assembly, could depend upon Umno backbenchers to conflict a state government as good as Perlis Umno leaders.

A classical e.g. was a allegation in blogs which a doctorate Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohd Isa Sabu obtained in 2002 from an American university was not genuine.

The Umno disciplinary board has since summoned celebration members involved in a allegations. The box is still pending.

Isa has simplified which his PhD degree from Newport University in California is internationally recognised though not between those recognised by a Malaysian Qualifications Agency.

The emanate here is which a attempt to tarnish a picture of Isa does not come from a antithesis though from inside of his own party.

It is unhappy which a Facebook account of Isa continues to receive unsavoury comments from those inside of a Umno circle.

The Internet should have been an in effect campaigning apparatus for Perlis Umno. Instead of regulating a Internet to conflict a opposition, Umno leaders have been regulating it to conflict any other.

State Umno leaders such as Isa, Shahidan as good as Kangar part of of parliament Datuk Radzi Sheikh Ahmad competence have dismissed Pakatan Rakyat's chances of winning a state in a entrance ubiquitous choosing though Perlis voters, who have been traditionally BN supporters, have been getting desirous with a ready to fight Umno leaders.

Pakatan, upon a other hand, is confident of winning a Chinese votes.

Hashim, in a same talk with Harakah Daily, estimated which 70 to 80 per cent of a Chinese votes in Perlis could go to a antithesis in a 13th ubiquitous election.

The Indera Kayangan state seat, rig! ht away hold by MCA's Dr Por Choo Chor, could slip from BN's hold if DAP fields a renouned national leader.

In a nutshell, BN simply cannot go upon to brag about Perlis carrying survived a 2008 domestic tsunami. Four years of contention have shaken BN's foothold in a northernmost state.

As it is, antithesis leaders believe Perlis Umno's infighting has alienated a little electorate as good as could have doubled 2008's 3.7 per cent vote pitch to a opposition, permitting it to win at slightest a single parliamentary chair this time around.

Perlis Umno members right away wish national leaders to step in to resolve a impasse. They have been hoping Deputy Prime Minister as good as Umno Deputy President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's revisit to Perlis early next month will outcome in a little breakthroughs.

There must be genuine efforts by all Perlis Umno leaders to settle their disputes once as good as for all. Time is not upon their side. They cannot sweep their long-standing problems underneath a carpet.

It will be a tragedy for BN if it were to remove Perlis because of a infighting. The state has three parliamentary as good as fifteen state seats. And each chair counts for a BN.

There is no doubt which Shahidan, as good as other pass Perlis Umno leaders such as Radzi, Padang Besar MP Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid as good as state senior manager legislature members such as Datuk Syed Razlan Jamalullail have been working tough in their respective constituencies.

They still have to show to a 50,000 Perlis electorate which they can work together as a BN team.

It is time they dump a attitude of "I take caring of my area, we take caring of yours" as good as mind Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's call for unity.

The Malay saying, bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh, warning of a danger of multiplication as good as disunity, is many good in this case.
