NEVER-ENDING WOES- Beware the energy struggles, revenge of 'unwinnable' incumbents
UMNO'S ageless woe of searing energy struggle to distressing humiliation of being dropped as an incumbent ubiquitous choosing claimant is the constant energetic the celebration has had to endure in its 66-year existence.
The credo goes which Umno as well as its Barisan Nasional partners have little trouble neutralising the total forces of the Pakatan Rakyat pivot though can almost drop passed by inner warring.
It's an distress which compelled Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak to emanate the tacit warning to the "unwinnable" incumbents after jacket up the ubiquitous public yesterday, the unmistakable ruthlessness in the tone of his voice the fait accompli for the "unwinnables" refusing to give way despite the justification of their unsure candidacy.
In distilling the rancour issue, Najib wielded the five-pronged unfolding upon how to kill your party: if we are not re-selected as the ubiquitous choosing candidate, will you, wholeheartedly support your replacement, reluctantly support your replacement, exclude to campaign for your replacement, sabotage your deputy or defect to the opposition?
The immediacy of the 13th ubiquitous choosing done the complaint of deserted incumbents contagious, their capability to inflict repairs of vital waste considerable.
However, true repairs has always stemmed from vital energy struggles high up in the party's food chain.
The intriguing backstory to Umno's disorder persist with the grander though distressing impact which is, unfortunately t! o the pa rty, durable.
To besiege the starting indicate to the "resentment" backstory, look to the 1981 deputy presidency conflict between vice-presidents Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah as well as Tun Musa Hitam, the latter winning handily afterwards as well as again in an similarly enthralling 1984 rematch.
That quarrel could be regarded as the trigger of the civil war which sired apocalyptic consequences to celebration as well as nation: Tengku Razaleigh converted his defeat in to the dissenting movement opposing celebration president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, hostilities dubbed Team A versus Team B.
Musa's untenable enmity with Dr Mahathir in 1986 led to the sensational resignation which done him throw his lot with Tengku Razaleigh: this doubtful tab team's bid to oust Dr Mahathir in the 1987 celebration elections narrowly failed.
Tengku Razaleigh simply could not come to conditions with the defeat as well as henceforth committed the fifth of Najib's discouraging scenario: the Kelantan prince left Umno, shaped Semangat 46, allied his nascent outfit with the opposition for the 1990 ubiquitous choosing as well as deployed measureless influence to present divided the Kelantan supervision to Pas, the stranglehold too tough to break.
For all his "sabotage" opposite Umno, Tengku Razaleigh consequently done assent with Dr Mahathir, rejoined Umno though still incompetent to operative the retaking of Kelantan, an irony which has not outlived its shelf hold up of loss.
But the pretension for the idealisation saboteur, which again invoked the fifth of Najib's scenarios, is still held by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the unfolding nobody thinks can ever be reprised for its sheer betrayal.
Anwar's 1998 sacking from Umno as well as later philosophy for sodomy as well as abuse of senior manager energy were the plans of Umno as well as BN's extensive shortfalls, initial losing the Terengganu supervision to Pas in 1999, as well as afterwards ! in the w atershed Mar 8, 2008 polls.
Najib righteously warned the "unwinnables" to gracefully recover their executives if BN were to retain Putrajaya though thankfully for him, there is no clash of titans to be concerned about -- right away -- which could inflict the worse damage.
But still, the rancour emanate is disconcerting: there is no way to know if it competence expand in to the magnitude architected by Tengku Razaleigh or Anwar.
But if it does, Najib will have to have the knowledge to clear away the crisis with the Plan B to buffer a little detriment though secure him the wider charge which effectively drives his future administration.
