UMNO defends EC duo amid calls for resignation
EKSKLUSIF : VIDEO SIKAP BIADAP DAN KURANG AJAR PERUSUH BERSIH 3.0 DIRAKAM...
Umno affiliation makes EC duo partisans
Their bona fides as neutral interlocutors, favouring no side in enforcing the rules, contingency be over question. Otherwise their in front of as arbitrate is untenable.
The old saw which probity contingency not usually be done but seen to be done relates to any purpose requiring the intervention of the person vested with the task of holding the beam in between competing interests in the balanced way.
In these roles, the coming of being satisfactory as well as doing what is satisfactory have been indivisible aspects of the same function, the a single dovetailing nicely with the alternative - the seamless garment with no folds.
By these standards, the benefaction authority as well as secretary of the Election Commission (EC), Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof (above) as well as Wan Ahmad Wan Omar (right) respectively, now find their positions untenable.
The fact they have been Umno members straightaway renders their function of the top dual posts in the body charged with running as well as refereeing elections in Malaysia as unfit to clear upon ground! s of nat ural justice.
The fair thing for both of them to do is to quit their positions but delay.
Their replacement by people with clever credentials for satisfactory control contingency be effected prior to the subsequent general election.
Now which it is not denied Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad have been Umno members, zero they contend in extenuation can pardon them of their being in the caught-out situation - which is, they have been not neutral interlocutors, as well as cannot ! be const rued as carrying the genius to be impartial.
In alternative words, their membership in the political celebration has encumbered them with the fatal smirch of partisanship.
The very fact which both, carrying been caught-out in the non-neutral zone, have pronounced things in mitigation of their in front of as Umno members usually serves to highlight the defect in their genius for satisfactory dealing.
A correct conception of which genius would have, by dint of their membership of the political party, prevented them from being authorised for appointment to their benefaction positions in the EC.
But an Umno-dominated government, steeped in the half-century's habit of thinking the command is over question, has confused the lines of division in between state as well as celebration interests such which people similar to Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad don't know the disproportion in between the dual even when they have been allocated to positions which have it imperative they do.
Thus when they have been caught out as they have been in this instance when it is definite they have lacked an critical credential - non-partisanship - for their benefaction position, they event in to an o! rgy of e xtenuation, retailing the single excuse after another.
EC's partial conduct
Men of honour, when likewise caught-out, would apologise as well as tender their resignation.
Even if they have the plausible reason which would mitigate their offence, they will concede the relapse of time prior to they contend something in extenuation.
One of the better examples of such nobility of control was displayed by former budding minister Hussein Onn in the mid-1980s, the little years after his retirement from the top post.
He tangled with the Dr Mahathir Mohamad administration department over who was actually obliged for the Maminco Affair, the barbarous episode in 1981 when the supervision attempted to corner the general marketplace in tin ! upon the London exchange.
The affair incurred outrageous waste as well as was deeply embarrassing to the government. Incidentally, cupboard annals showed which the preference to corner the marketplace was done during the tail finish of Hussein's reign as PM.
Apparently, Hussein could not stop the episode. In extenuation, it contingency be pronounced which he was recuperating from heart bypass operation during the time the cupboard preference was taken as well as when his administration department was virtually upon auto-pilot.
Yet, when the applicable cupboard assembly mins were publicly exposed as well as showed which he was in charge, he did not hesitate to suggest his reparation for the mental recall lapse.
Many sympathised with him, sensing his anguish during carrying to be saddled with responsibility for an action whose enormity could not be visualised during th! e indicate in time when it was done as well as about the make the difference whose primary contours were hazy during most appropriate as well as unthreatening during worst.
The ethos which Umno has foisted upon the nation's politics, which has allowed someone to be chief probity who had earlier been the party's lead counsel, has turn so approving which Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad could be forgiven for thinking which their membership in Umno did not invalidate them for the posts they hold in the EC.
Umno luminaries have been allocated to the governorships of states but hereditary sultans, the in front of which used to be indifferent for renowned educationists as well as alternative non-politically affiliated multitude notables.
If such permissiveness has turn the norm, how, then, could typical membership of the celebration be the disqualifier for signal posts in the EC?
The confused reactions of Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad to the find they have be! en Umno members have been indicative of how matters to do with what is perceived as fair as well as just control have run-down upon Umno's prolonged watch.
That watch is no longer sustainable.

7 indicators of the homegrown imperialist or why we are not power crazy but must wrest power from crazy people.
The title of this article is fairly long. we have deliberately selected it to imitate a extended comments sent in by Walla. we benefaction here his thoughts, verbatim. Sakmongkol.
UMNO was formed to fight imperialism. Yet a offspring called UMNO Baru has become even worse imperialists. Worse because it wears a cloak of wolves to tempt a flock of sheep which it wants to keep in a overlay as meat for a own dinners.
Even small Red Riding Hood can see through a scam, what some-more a millions in this land who have been each day facing a brand brand new imperialist order which has already usurped a patriotism all had feign together over fifty years ago.
Because they have been dullards, a brand brand new imperialists have additionally copied word-for-word a divide-and-rule tactic of a old unfamiliar imperialists by pitting a unaccompanied hermit opposite another.
That is additionally because it is hard to understand how someone can contend tomorrow's marchers have been bad parents. If they have been bad, afterwards UMNO is even worse to have produced UMNO Baru whose yellow-livered leaders have already decided to tear-gas as well as shillelagh a rakyat of Malaysia who have been marching opposite imperialism inside a benefaction government.
One is tempted to ask given these supposed leaders of a benefaction supervision have been yellow-livered, because have been they so opposite those who wear yellow? It's just a colour, similar to blue. Is even colour theme to corner in this land?
Secondly, a same character tried to connect a leader of a Opposition by saying he is power-crazy. But what has which leader been doing so far alternative than to clear for changes?
So if UMNO is fighting opposite a Opposition upon a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious belligerent which their leader is power-crazy, how have been a rakyat not to interpretation which UMNO is therefore fighting o! pposite a changes which he has personified?
Since those changes have been additionally what a marchers have been asking for, because has UMNO not realized a changes some-more honestly, for which have a difference strengthen a rights of a marchers instead of planning to harm them, starting with barricades during a place with a word 'Merdeka' which was initial ever roared upon a really night this republic was liberated from imperialism?
You see this same counterbalance in UMNO - it says it is for a Malays though it enchains them in a wrought iron of subservience to an imperialist order done sneaky by accessible pats upon a shoulder as well as skinny wads upon a palm whilst it vacuum-cleans a complete national bin during a back of their backs.
That explains because currently we have a unaccompanied humungous national debt which is growing faster than it can be reduced. Because a supervision we have been currently carrying is conjunction clean nor satisfactory as well as nonetheless usually great during flip-flopping as well as cheating.
However a little doubt remains. Imperialists, it is asked? How does a unaccompanied commend a imperialist in a midst?
(1) How about a man who invited a bad to his palace of elephantine distance built upon low-cost land as well as afterwards explained his munificence by saying, "if not here, how else can they ambience this luxury?"
(2) Or, a alternative man who showed how great he was to be means to negotiate a palace during next marketplace rate despite carrying given up his dental practice?
(3) Or, a chief of a state once held laundering money overseas who right divided decides to take up a billboard commercial operation in a unaccompanied company so which rates can be raised tenfold, purportedly to account his a a single preferred charity.
(4) Or, a quantum leap from rearing! cows to rent-collecting of costly condos, with a lease paid by associate companies of a same beneficiaries saved in a initial place by open money released underneath indeterminate circumstances, money right divided gone up in fume thicker than a mist from Kalimantan because it was really a huge amount....for a low-level appointee.
(5) Or, a slush funds amounting to hundreds of millions deposited in offshore accounts though somehow usually detected by a unfamiliar anti-corruption group whilst a local a unaccompanied sits wordless awaiting aloft orders from those yang mengikut perintah yang tak akan datang. Too shy, perhaps?
(6) Or, a GLC honcho dangling for money governing body though reinstated out of a blue, however best usually for wisecracking upon a a unaccompanied hand, as well as nonetheless upon a alternative palm losing his cool to tell bad farmers to get out if they cannot accept his boss, a a unaccompanied who already has enough problems of his own perplexing to insist because he had walked divided from responding honest questions by a rakyat. Again, shy, perhaps?
(7) Or, a super-rich selling tastes, drifting allowances, monarch-level accommodations, super-class limousine services, not to forget a entertainment allowances which smoothen bed sheets during watchful rendezvous 3 times a week, fifty dual weeks a year.
(7)
The usually thing blank in a design combining in your thoughts right right divided is a lowly servant from some kampung, standing during a back of a brand brand new brownish-red mat salleh of this 21st century, fanning divided with a vast plume air blower a draining heat of each day which starts with a late morning as well as ends with an early night, a day during best pulling paper upon a table, speaking nonsense to a masses, as well as generally causing trouble as well as disaster all over a place, as well as paid a gazetted salary which in a t! housand years will never insist all a excesses a electronic caclulator has already collapsed from perplexing to compute.
Enough?
In such a situation, how have been a Malays as well as alternative Malaysians ever to have genuine progress? How can genuine swell be done when a economy is as feign as a supervision heading it? Meanwhile, despite all a machinations, bamboozling as well as chicaneries of UMNO layered similar to lard upon a rakyat, a peoples of Malaysia have been united some-more than ever.
And a greatest hope for Malaysia was already shown in a unaccompanied movement by so most millions of a Malays when in their finest hour in GE12 they had collectively deserted UMNO as well as turned enough of a renouned vote in a peninsular to give a Opposition a simple tipping indicate majority.
If UMNO thinks it can leap, because not a voters? They too can quantum leap to enlarge which infancy even some-more in GE13 as well as in a unaccompanied cadence redefine a sleepy as well as jaded domestic landscape of Malaysia for a initial time in a story of this nation.
In doing so, a electorate will show a imperialists in a surrounded by which a Malays have been no opposite from any alternative human beings upon this world in their genius to urge their lot. It is bad training which has detained them. It is bad policies which have eroded all a goodwill so necessary for building networking as well as contacts for bigger markets as well as better exchanges. It is bad economics which have given to a imperialists a conduct start for a couple of during a responsibility of a many.
And which is because there is a brand brand new call of courage in this republic which says a rakyat will rather do a right thing as well as fail than continue to see a benefaction supervision do a wrong thing as well as succeed.
Avoid this sad tragedy. Bring about changes. Go beyond a tippin! g point. Make a quantum leap. After that, it gets easier. After all, a sire stops with us as well as not UMNO. If it stops with us, we will know it won't be miss-spent; it's your own money in a initial place. But if it stops with UMNO, initial hilang, afterwards habis.
Only a couple of some-more hours to wait before dawn breaks upon a day where a same courage will be shown. The will of a rakyat cannot be weaker than a will of those who have selected to do wrong because a riffraff in UMNO still think they can fool a rakyat when a usually people they have been fooling have been a people they see in their own mirrors each day.
walla, for all of you.

April 27, 2012
Note to My readers as well as friends:
I might not go along with a governing physique of Dato' Seri Hishamuddin Hussein,but you determine with his comment of a legacy as well as achievements of his late Father, Tun Hussein Onn, a Third Prime Minister. To me, Tun Hussein was a reluctant statesman though when a republic was in predicament in 1976 following a black flitting of Tun Abdul Razak in London, he supposed a awesome shortcoming of premiership.
To quote Dato Hishamuddin, "Tun Hussein Onn was there when a republic indispensable him most. His soaring personality- a male with integrity, fortify as well as a clarity of role is in truth sorely longed for in a Malaysian domestic landscape today."
On a night before of BERSIH 3.0, you motionless to put this debate which was delivered recently during a launch of a Tun Hussein Onn Chair in International Studies during ISIS Malaysia.

Their equates to is electoral remodel as well as polite disobedience is their equates to to get their summary to a rival UMNO-BN government-Din Merican
In Honour of Tun Hussein Onn: A Son's Tribute
by Dato Hishamuddin Hussein Onn
Alhamdulillah, p! raise be to Allah SubhanahuWata'ala, for it is with his Grace as well as Blessing which you have been collected here currently during a launch of a Tun Hussein Onn Chair in International Studies. First as well as foremost, you would similar to to express, during a really outset, my deepest high regard to a Noah Foundation as well as its Chairman, YBhg. Datin Paduka Dr Faridah Abdullah, for courteously committing to fund a Chair for an initial duration of ten years. This generous await for a Tun Hussein Chair is in truth a testament of a Foundation's joining towards programs which good Malaysia during a macro-level.
I would additionally similar to to record my high regard to a Board of Directors of a Institute of Strategic as well as International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia as well as its Chairman, YBhg. Tan Sri Mohd Jawhar Hassan, for initiating a idea of substantiating a Tun Hussien Chair in ISIS. The family of Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn is deeply overwhelmed by this gesture to honour as well as recollect a former Prime Minister who was additionally a initial Chairman of this iconic Institute.
ISIS Malaysia
Indeed, Institute of Strategic Studies (ISIS) was really tighten to a heart of my late father, generally in his retirement. Some of you might remember, Allahyarham Tun used to outlay Thursdays here, in attendance to central work as a Chairman as well as afterwards spending a rest of a day borrowing books from a living room as well as calling up ISIS investigate staff for discussions as well as briefings upon vital domestic i! ssues. A s you might notice, a little of a books in a library, have their passages underlined as well as records scribbled, which was in truth what my late father enjoyed most.
Allahyarham Tun Hussein additionally used to take active part in many of a vital conferences as well as seminars which ISIS organized, really mostly as a keynote speaker. He saw in ISIS an institution which went over a universe of diplomacy to build bridges as well as maintain people-to-people family in in between nations.
It is my hope, which a benefaction as well as successive holders of a Tun Hussein Chair will share a same prophesy with Allahyarham Tun, in building bridges as well as maintaining ties generally in this brand new post-globalization general landscape.
On which note, you would similar to to magnify my heartiest congratulations to YBhg. Dato' Dr. Muthiah Alagappa for being allocated a first-holder of a Chair. you am confident which a Chair will good severely from his outstanding grant as well as arise as a poignant source for brand new believe as well as uninformed discernment in a field of unfamiliar process as well as general relations. you envision, in a years to come, which this Chair will be a customary bearer for glorious academic grant in a field of unfamiliar process as well as general relations, for a good of a good nation.
Tun Hussein: A Towering Malaysian Personality
It has been some-more than dual decades since a flitting of Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn as well as yet his contributions to a immature republic have been still fondly remembered as well as his participation dearly longed for not just by a family, though by fellow Malaysians.
He was a single of a excellent sons Malaysia has ever produced as well! as a fa ther, a kid looks up to in amatory indebtedness as well as for inspiration. The third Prime Minister of Malaysia was a male who dedicated his entire hold up to open make use of as well as championing causes tighten to his heart.
Whether it was in a army, a authorised companionship or after in politics: as a Cabinet minister, Deputy Prime Minister as well as afterwards Prime Minister, he had though a single goal- it was to see a republic which was free as well as independent, moneyed as well as united. Consistent he was in seeing through this goal, from girl to adulthood, a rise of his career as well as in retirement. He was a Malay patriot as well as a committed Malaysian, someone who understood which nothing of value was achieved but sacrifice.
His life-story has been about sacrifice- from assisting his father, Dato'Onn, unite a Malays as well as found UMNO to being apart from his immature family to complete his law studies in London as well as coming behind to mainstream governing physique when he felt Malays were marginalized. He once quipped "There is no nobler thing than to offer your country, what higher ambition can a male have?" It was in truth those difference which subsequently pushed me in to a incursion of politics, to follow in his hulk footsteps, to dedicate my hold up to open make use of as well as serving Malaysia.
Allahyarham Tun was a male who had convictions of steel as well as he was rebuilt to act upon them. He was unchanging in his struggles as well as during ease with his values as well as principles. At pass junctures in his life, these would lead him to take different paths from what others would have liked. As you would know, he was a initial personality of UMNO Youth as well as after Secretary-General. Yet, he left duty-bound to stick upon his father, my grandfather, Dato' Onn Jaafar, to aspire to a latter's dream of substantiating a non-communal domestic party in Malaya.
Dato' Onn believed deeply which communalism w! as somet hing which could destroy a country's hard won Independence. My father was consistent, after when he rejoined UMNO in 1969, as well as as Prime Minister from 1976 to 1981, he ensured which communalism was kept during bay as well as invested in strengthening race-relations in a country. He will regularly be remembered for mostly as Bapa Perpaduan- a testament to his joining towards fostering inhabitant unity as well as preserving assent in a immature nation.
Tun Hussein is remembered as a lady who was courteous as well as soft-spoken. His character was not to bedazzle for he was not a quite fiery orator. His method was to communicate as well as reason simply, as well as never to simply communicate as well as reason. Ask anyone who knew him as well as they will tell you which as a male as well as as a leader, it was never all about him.
Many reporters as well as commentators have created about his pliability as well as humility. Ego did not figure in what he did as well as said. The fact which he did not covet personal glory as well as energy was mostly hold opposite him. He once pronounced "If you am trusted to serve, if a republic wants me, you will not exclude during whatever price to me. But to scramble for bureau during whatever cost, no."
In a relocating comment which was created upon my father's passing, Allahyarham Tan Sri Dr Noordin Sopiee, a initial Director General of ISIS Malaysia as well as a single of a excellent minds which Malaysia has produced, recounts what Tun told him upon a night before of his appointment as Deputy Prime Minister in 1973. My father said, "People can be too simply led in to wanting broadside some-more than achievement. What you do is important. But me, I'm not important."
Throughout his life, he hold steadfast by his principles, as well as core values. He had a entrenched fright of a crime of energy as well as of a tyranny of applause. To him his firmness is worth s! ome-more than anything else. Once a certitude is lost upon a statesman as he says, a premise to lead falters, as well as a dedicated social contract in in between a people as well as a personality is broken.
When Tun Hussein took a helm of a republic after a black passing of Allahyarham Tun Razak, he was used up with a recognition which his was a in front of of good responsibility. He did not skulk his responsibility, nor did he seek to good from a high office. He did his many appropriate in a usually approach he knew how, as well as which was by being clever as well as methodical. He valued as well as sought consensus.
Tun Hussein Onn was there when a republic indispensable him most. His soaring personality- a male with integrity, fortify as well as a clarity of role is in truth sorely longed for in a Malaysian domestic landscape today.
Tun Hussein Onn: Internationalist as well as Malaysia's International Relations
Having outlayed 8 years study law in a UK as well as in 4 years posterior a troops career in India, Allahyarham Tun Hussein Oon was an external looking personality with tellurian perspectives. Indeed, a 1970s supposing a clever test for his internationalist character.
During his tenure as Prime Minster, a general system took a hit- a universe manage to buy had still to recover from a tellurian downturn which proposed with a Arab oil embargo after a Arab-Israeli War of 1973.
Globally, inflation was using rampant as well as unemployment was rising. Stagflation was available in Western economies. Currencies had become unshackled from their moors. In 1970, universe inflation averaged around 6 per cent, which was already most higher than prior years. In 1979, it strike a rise of 13 per cent. Interest rates were in a double digits. That same year, there was an additional oil shock which sent economies, even high-growth ones similar to Malaysia, reeling.
Politically, a universe! was awa sh with conflict. For many of a decade, West Middle East was in crisis, not usually because of Israel's function of Palestine though additionally internal discontent. Civil fight raged in Lebanon during a second half of a decade as well as uprisings in Iran, which had begun in late 1977, culminated in a overthrow of a Shah in 1979. In Central Asia, a Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. It set in to suit a sequence of events which continues to this day. The Soviet advance re-intensified a Cold War with a West. Before then, family had essentially proposed to improve, with negotiations in in between a Soviet Union as well as a United States to extent a number of nuclear weapons.
But there were certain developments as well. Perhaps many notable in in between them was a 1978 Camp David Peace Accord signed in in between Egypt as well as Israel. Although not liked by many Arabs, a Accord marked down dispute in a Middle East as well as supposing a basis for a duration of relative calm. Closer to home, China, which had been undergoing leadership struggles since a death of Mao Zedong in 1976, finally saw Deng Xiaoping arise as personality in 1978. Deng afterwards instituted a 'four modernisations' which led to a opening up of a Chinese economy, with surpassing benefits for a tellurian manage to buy as well as informal prosperity.
However, a biggest plea was closer to home- combating a threat of a rise of communism. Tun Hussein was an avid neutral, internationalist during a time when a universe was widely separated in to dual apart spheres of change in in between a West as well as a Communists. The duration of his premiership was a duration of domestic misunderstanding in Southeast Middle East generally in Indochina.
Saigon fell in 1975 as well as a Khmer Rouge regime underneath Pol Pot took! over Ca mbodia in April 1976, rocking Indochina's fragile as well as formidable domestic landscape. The threat of Domino effect sweeping a segment became ever so real. Acting in unison with alternative ASEAN part of states, Malaysia emphasized independence, non-alignment as well as pacific cooperation. Thus, a First ASEAN Summit in Bali, Indonesia in 1976 saw a Declaration of ASEAN Concord as well as a Treaty of Amity as well as Cooperation in Southeast Asia. The initial of these pledged part of states to work together to foster assent as well as stability, while a second put in place a horizon for a settling of conflicts but a make use of of force. The successive year, Kuala Lumpur hosted a Second Summit, which my father chaired, as well as which celebrated a initial decade of ASEAN.
Tun Hussein, a committed internationalist additionally visited Deng Xiaoping in China as well as Alexei Kosygin as well as Brezhnev in Moscow in 1979, to get a dual Communist giants to apply oneself a neutralization process by ASEAN countries adopted underneath a Zone of Peace, Freedom as well as Neutrality (ZOPFAN).
Tun Hussein was a male committed to assent as well as harmony, as well as he was a champion of Malaysia's unfamiliar process of pacific coexistence as well as mutual apply oneself with all countries, regardless of distance as well as domestic systems. His joining towards assent as well as inhabitant security, serves as an impulse to me currently in ensuring which a republic is protected during all time.
I have overwhelmed quickly upon a little of what you think were afterwards a some-more critical universe as well as informal events to give a clarity of a times surrounding Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn's term in office. To contend which they were severe is an understatement. Changes, both negative as well as certain were occurring, as well as pass decisions had to be made. It was transparent which a level head as well as a solid palm were needed, as well as a government which he led ! supposin g a poignant measure of both.
Continuing upon from a solid foundations laid by his predecessor, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein forged a march of assent as well as fortitude which enabled a republic to grow, develop as well as prosper for a decades to come. Indeed, he was a responsible personality as well as a idealist when it comes to general relations.
Importance of International Studies for Contemporary Malaysia
Let me now interpretation by observant a few difference about general studies. Dato' Dr Muthiah will be delivering his Inaugural Lecture shortly as well as so you will be brief. Probably some-more than in a box of alternative disciplines, works upon general studies have been dominated by Western scholarship. Asian as well as alternative non-Western grant has grown tremendously in recent decades, though a West continues to exert a first change upon a discourse with regard to organizing concepts, analytical frameworks and, especially, a framing of issues.
Despite claims to wholeness as well as objectivity it is usually distinct as well as even unavoidable which perspectives as well as approaches tend to be influenced to a little extent by sold chronological experiences, inhabitant interest as well as informative background.
This of itself is not a vital problem. The universe owes a good deal to Western scholarship, most of which is in truth of universal relevance as well as applicability. Many non-Western scholars themselves have been Western in their thinking as well as writing due to their precision as well as reading. But perspectives from alternative historical, informative as well as geopolitical contexts have been nevertheless in comparatively short supply as well as have been severely indispensable to enrich a understanding of general issues as well as surprise a approaches to promoting peace, confidence as well as prosperity.
It is here which Chairs such as a a single ISIS is substantiating as well! as scho lars such as Dato' Dr Muthiah, can make an useful grant to a hardness as well as physique of believe available in general studies. It is a shortcoming to draft out recommendations for Malaysia's unfamiliar process in a post-Globalization era, as well as figure out which frontiers you ought to master as well as rivet in a years to come.
The International Studies Chair during ISIS Malaysia can play a main role in contributing to this objective. you know which my late father would have been unapproachable to be compared with it. On interest of my family as well as myself, you now take good wish in officially rising a Tun Hussein Onn Chair in International Studies during ISIS Malaysia.

The Duo's UMNO Affiliation tarnishes EC's Image
by Terence Netto@www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT: Referees contingency not usually act equally though contingency be seen to be so. Their bona fides as neutral interlocutors, favouring no side in enforcing a rules, contingency be beyond question. Otherwise their in front of as referee is untenable.
The old saw that probity contingency not usually be done though seen to be done relates to any role requiring a mediation of a chairman vested with a task of land a beam in in between competing interests in a balanced way.
In these roles, a coming of being satisfactory as well as doing what is satisfactory have been indivisible aspects of a same function, a one dovetailing easily with a alternative a seamless mantle with no folds.
By these standards, a benefaction chairman as well as secretary of a Election Commission (EC), Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof (left) as well as Wan Ahmad Wan Omar respectively, right away find their positions untenable.
The actuality they have been UMNO members straight line renders their occupation of a tip two posts in a physique charged with using as well as refereeing elections in Malaysia as impossible to clear upon drift of natural justice.
The satisfactory thing for both of them to do is to give up their positions but delay. Their deputy by people with strong credentials for satisfactory control contingency be effected before a subsequent general election.
Now that it is not denied Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad (right) have been UMNO members, nothing they say in compromise can pardon them of their being in a caught-out incident that is, they have been not neutral interlocutors, as well as cannot be construed as having a genius to be impartial.
In alternative words, their membership in a domestic celebration has encumbered them with a fatal smirch of partisanship.
The very actuality that both, having been caught-out in a non-neutral zone, have said things in mitigation of their in front of as UMNO members usually serves to prominence a defect in their genius for satisfactory dealing.
A proper source of that genius would have, by dint of their membership of a domestic party, prevented them from being authorised for appointment to their benefaction positions in a EC.
But an UMNO-dominated government, steeped in a half-century's robe of meditative its command is beyond question, has confused a lines of demarcation in in between state as well as celebration interests such that people like Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad don't know a difference in in between a two even when they have been appointed to positions that have it needed they do.
Thus when they have been caught out as they have been in this example when it is undeniable they have lacked an important credential non-partisanship for their benefaction position, they event in to an bacchanal of extenuation, retailing one forgive after another.
EC's partial conduct
Men of honour, when similarly caught-out, would apologise as well as proposal their resignation. Even if they have a plausible reason that would mitigate their offence, they will concede a relapse of time before they say something in extenuation.
Tun Hussein Onn's Nobility of Conduct
One of a improved examples of such nobility of control was displayed by former Prime Minister Hussein Onn in ! a mid-19 80s, some years after his early retirement from a tip post.
He tangled with a Dr Mahathir Mohamad administration over who was actually responsible for a Maminco Affair, a barbarous part in 1981 when a government tried to corner a general marketplace in tin upon a London exchange.
The event incurred outrageous losses as well as was deeply embarrassing to a government. Incidentally, cupboard records showed that a preference to corner a marketplace was done during a tail finish of Hussein's reign as Prime Minister.
Apparently, Hussein could not stop a episode. In extenuation, it contingency be said that he was recuperating from heart bypass operation during a time a cupboard preference was taken as well as when his administration was probably upon auto-pilot.
Yet, when a relevant cupboard assembly minutes were publicly unprotected as well as showed that he was in charge, he did not hesitate to suggest his apology for a memory lapse.
Many sympathised with him, intuiting his anguish during having to be saddled with shortcoming for an movement whose enormity could not be visualised during a indicate in time when it was done as well as about a matter whose initial contours were hazy during best as well as unthreatening during worst.
The ethos that UMNO has foisted upon a nation's politics, that has authorised someone to be Chief Justice who had progressing been a party's lead counsel, has turn so approving that Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad could be forgiven for meditative that their membership in UMNO did not invalidate them for a posts they hold in a EC.
UMNO luminaries have been appointed to a governorships of states but hereditary sultans, a in front of that used to be reserved for renowned educationists as well as alternative non-politically affiliated multitude notables.
If such permissiveness has turn a norm, how, then, could ordinary membership of a celebration be a disqualifier for vigilance posts in a EC?
The baffled reactions o! f Abdul Aziz as well as Wan Ahmad to a discovery they have been UMNO members have been demonstrative of how matters to do with what is perceived as satisfactory as well as just control have run-down upon UMNO's prolonged watch. That watch is no longer sustainable.

EH! BERSIH 3 SUKU NI KATA NGO PUNYA, KENAPA MAT SABU DAH AMBILALIH PLAK NI?
Apa yang aku difahamkan sepatutnya Mat Sabu akan merampas upacara Bersih 3 suku ni esok sepatutnya, tapi nampaknya dia dah tak sabar dan dah mula ambil alih dulu. Alah, kat Dataran tadi ramai pemimpin pakatan yang turun dan nampak sangat la ini semua disponsor oleh yahudi melalui Anwar yang nak pertahankan Israel tu!
Tapi lebai PAS bodoh, harapkan janggut je panjang tapi dungu nak mampos, tahu dah ini semua benda tak elok, tahu dah sebagai Islam tak patut seorang pengikut Kaum Nabio Lut, dah tau dah dibelakang ini ada LGBT tapi masih nak kedepan jugak puak PAS ni!
Sengal la depa ni, seperti mana yang korang tau ini baru pemanasan badan je kata mereka tadi. Esok lagi ramai akan turun kata mereka, Mereka sudah mula mengerahkan pengikut-pengikut mereka turun menaiki bas dari seluruh negara.
Siap ada backup devise lagi, kalau dihalang dimana sahaja, samada ada di Tol atau di lebuhraya maka mereka sewajarnya akan membuat demo dimana mereka ditahan. Khabarnya esok Mat Sabu dan pemimpin pakatan akan membuat provokasi besar-besaran terhadap pihak polis.
Tadi mereka buat tapi tak menjadi sebab polis tak layan mereka, esok mereka akan membuat yang lebih ganas lagi. Mereka nak polis membuat sesuatu supaya mereka boleh mendapat simpati rakyat! So besok korang tengok la lagi wayang haramjadah Pakatan yang dibelakang Bersih 3 suku ni!
Wahai rakyat Malaysia, orang sebegini ke kamu mahu untuk mentadbir negara? Asyik suka nak buat kacau je sampai ne! geri yan g mereka perintah tu joke tak terjaga. Macamana la agaknya kalau mereka ni memerintah negara kita ek?
Nau'zubillah!

'EC top guns should have disclosed Umno links'
The Election Commission (EC) chief Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof as well as his deputy Wan Ahmad Wan Omar should have disclosed their links to Umno prior to being appointed to a eccentric body, pronounced Bersih.
"It is very critical as well as this shows partisanship.
"(Even) only a non-disclosure which they are party members is a (problem)," pronounced Bersih chief S Ambiga at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.
Asked to reply to Wan Ahmad's statement which he is a "public servant" as well as "still is one" despite have been exposed to be a Umno member, Ambiga pronounced this is indicative of a EC's partisan position which is discordant to its formation as "an eccentric body, underneath a constitution".
"It was a Freudian slip. He (Wan Ahmad) was revelation a truth. That is a core of the issue with a EC. They are supposed to be independent," she lamented.
