Current affairs, human rights, justice with specific focus on Malaysia and where the world situation has a direct or indirect impact on the Malaysian political climate.
Malaysians must never be told they are being "tolerated" when they exercise their constitutional rights, instead, the government of the day must respect their rights to do so.
Has Rosamh designs for Sharizat's position in UMNO? Now with Najib's resignation from UMNO is Rosmah mansor going to attempt a Hilary Clinton, Malaysian style?
Can she lead Wanita UMNO?
Of late Rosmah has been trying to grab the limelight again, with statements via the press asking the Police investigating the 1MDB scandal to stop leaks about the bags, jewelry and cash confiscated during the raid.
One would have expected a statement
to that effect to have come from Najib Tun Razak, but here it was Rosmah still talking down to the cops.
"Despite the overwhelmingly trying times afflicted upon us, we have,
and will continue facilitating, and avail ourselves to any requests."
“However, we would like to bring to attention about the seemingly
compromised inquiry process, whereby a series of leaks pertaining to the
probe has made its way into social media spheres, in real time, enforcement agencies should not be feeding social media trolls, but observe and uphold strict professionalism at all times,” she is reported to have said..
In an exclusive interview with the UMNO owned Malay Mail she expressed doubt the current Pakatan Harapan (PH) administration would continue her Permata programme.
"Accompanied by her lawyers, Datuk Geethan Ram Vincent and M. Puravalen and this was her first press interview since the BN lost the 14th general election
and law enforcement agencies began investigating her family over 1MDB.
In an immediate response to Rosmah's call for the continuation of Permata Face book users suggested that whatever the government decides to do with Permata, they should first conduct a complete audit of the body.
The Deputy PM has also come out saying that may continue with Permata but needed to conduct an audit of the body first.
Najibs is always "Press Shy," especially in controversial issues and more so with 1MDB, on the other hand Rosmah loves the limelight and feels she has the ability to handle the press.
Two of UMNO's branch leaders , whom I met yesterday told me, this, "don't write Rosmah off, we really do not know the impact she can create on UMNO, and she may just go for Sharizat's post."
Well I shared this statement with my friends and all seem to agree that this is most certainly a possibility as with Rosmah you really never can tell.
Will Rosmah go for the position of Wanita head and possibly eye the Presidency in UMNO to attempt to be the first woman PM in Malaysia to outdo Dr. Wan Azizah?
Well you really can't tell but the more people I talk to the more are convinced that she is capable of giving it a shot.
The shape of the future UMNO will depend on the how drastic the change will be in the coming UMNO elections, and it is gratifying to know that there are those in UMNO who are not prepared to "kow tow" to the leadership's every wish to remain in power by 'proposing' that there should be no contest for the top positions.
Looks like the only choice for now
The branches and divisions that "propose" no contest for top positions are those that are really vying power themselves, hoping that the leadership will throw their support behind these branch/division leaders in their quest to get into the supreme council or other important committees of the organisation, or that the division leaders are cronies of the top leadership and are being prompted to do so.
Unless UMNO breaks this tradition of patronising, cronyism and nepotism it will suffer and become even weaker in the next elections.
Whoever moves into the leadership in UMNO must be willing to face reality, and give the membership the blunt truth, they have ti be brutal in revealing it, the corruption and how the 1MDB
Kalau ta suka pulak Jawa
and the meddling of a wife destroyed UMNO and how if left unchecked it will destroy the party again.
All members who are tainted must not be allowed even up the rostrum at branch and division meetings, they should be shown the exit door and must be made to understand that they are not welcomed, this will show the those vying for the top that the new UMNO members are serious about revitalizing their party.
If members are vying top positions they must be brave to face the truth and take the leadership by storm, they must be brave to challenge the status quo, and tell the present crop that they are in this predicament because of them and there can be no excuse.
There are such members in the party today they sit on the sidelines as observers, they are intimidated
Yes Sir!!!! Typical Hussein Onn stuff clueless
but with UMNO's loss the leaders are seen as cowards who can't be intimidate any more, they do not have the influence of either the police or the law to go and intimidate these young uns who are now rearing to go.
What about Khairy?
Well honestly in the Supreme Council he looks like the best bet for the UMNO President, but then there are others who are just waiting for the prompting of the membership to be counted. These chaps were not born into the Abdullah Badawi family, but have the qualities to lead an organisation like UMNO.
They may be green horns, but that is exactly what UMNO requires, politically green horns, they do not need the seasoned politician because the seasoned politician in UMNO is as corrupt as can be, either by way of having received gratification or having backed Najib in the full knowledge of what was happening.
Green horns will come with new ideas, they will ahve no notions of personally enriching themselves or their spouses either with cows or with cash, they will come with the idea of enriching the country by crafting good policies in the party that that they will lead to make it an organisation that the people will trust and not just follow out of fear as was the case with UMNO over the years.
Can this happen in UMNO?
According to a Melaka UMNO man yes sit can, but he reckons it will begin less radically, with Khairy Jamaluddin ousting the Ahmad Zahid/ Hishamuddin pairing and beginning his own line up.and he reckons it will begin at the next UMNO General Assembly.
This man suggests that Khairy should seek as much support from the non radical seniors in the party and he singled out Mustapa Moahmad, as "he is senior with broad experience and like Khairy is academically accomplished, if these two men click they'll rock the boat at least," he said
Mustapa was a close adviser to Najib but being a religious man kept his distance from Najib as their habits were not the same.
He says the fight will be the most ferocious, it will be even worse than that between the BN and the Harapan at the last elections, but it will happen, and winner will take all. It will have to be even more ferocious than that betwen the Kuli and Mahathir, because this si the ultimate survival of UMNO adn if Khairy is defeated so too will UMNO be.
For all the talk by Khairy and Hishamuddin nothing is going to happen
to UMNO and it will die a natural death unless, some real action takes
place and soon, within the party, there must be consensus to probably source leadership material from the outside real leadership material as the present crop are just useless and will not even make good penghulus.
Awaiting Justice
Khairy Jamaluddin says today he regrets not telling Najib the truth about the groundswell that was taking its toll on UMNO's popularity and its ability to secure GE14, he was probably like Najib, holding back confident that all the crooked measures put in place would steal them the General Elections as it did the last time, and more so because this time around, with the aid of the Elections Commission and the Registrar of Societies it was made even more crooked.
Muhyiddin tried to do just that (see video above) and some of the
very people who sat at that speech took it up to Najib to gain his
favour and also the positions in party hierarchy which today has
resulted in one becoming the President of UMNO succeeding Najib. That in the Najib era became the UMNO culture.
Ambitious since day 1 of Abdullah Badawi's term
Till the very last moment Najib was still under the illusion that he would win the elections, he felt he had successfully stolen it, Rosmah was calling around till 8.00 p.m on that night and even later to find out what was going on and she was assured that it was going their way, till jaws began to drop just past 9.30 p.m.
Even after it was abundantly clear that Pakatan Harapan had won the elections the elections commission held up the announcements and pronouncements deliberately but denies doing so to thsi day..
Eventually the next day Najib had to concede, it was reported that one point when it became clear he was defeated he broke down.
With Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at the helm now, both Khairy and Hishamuddin know very well that they do not have a leader of the quality to steer UMNO and to rebrand and revive and ailing and sick party, leave alone even managing it properly today and to add to that predicament there is Sharizat at the
Not just cousins, partners in ........
head of the women's wing, a so called leader who dared not even get herself fielded as a candidate for the GE14, who wasrejected outright out at the two previous General Elections and claims to be the leader of the UMNO women's wing today, well she is that is no claim really but that is the standard of the leadership in UMNO today.
Well if that is the quality in UMNO you'll not need a maverick to tell you where the party is headed for.
Then on the other hand both Khairy and Hishamuddin are certainly not the material to lead either, both are no leaders at best they are followers, in the mold of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Hussein Onn respectively, without a clue on how to lead but who desperately are looking to lead because they feel they are the right material and for personal gratification, not for UMNO certainly.
Zahid who went to the UN and made a speech which many Malaysians believe he himself did not understand, attempting to sell the rebranding of the Malaysian government using the "Blue Ocean Strategy" became not embarrassed us Malaysians but us the laughing stock of the world.
The street fighter
In the first place the question of Zahid's place of birth should be openly and transparently explored as it has been given many twists and turns, from claims of being born in Indonesia and later in Malaysia, if indeed he was born in Indonesia his eligibility to become a future PM is in doubt.
With the full knowledge of all this both Khairy and Hishamuddin have chosen to remain quiet and allow the status quo to remain in place with hints of what they'd like to see.
Does this silence not expose their ability to lead, if UMNO collapses Khairy may come out again and say he regrets he did not tell Zahid.
With Zahid of course Khairy can't tell him neither can Hishamuddin they'll have to announce it to the
Is this case really cleared?
membership and challenge his position if they are real leadership material as Zahid will not just cave in, he's a scheming wheeler dealer, and it took all those skills to get him where he is and he'll use
those same skills to get rid of his competition, both Khairi and Hisham know that and this why they will not dare try to unseat him openly.
Zahid is a street fighter who can land fatal blows below the belt to stifle competition and that is what frightens the two.
Their lack of daring to immediately call for change and demand that change rather than throw subtle hints and speak volumes of what they should have done and what must be done are nothing but a sham, it exposes their own weaknesses.
Looking at the present day UMNO lineup there are no people of real value in the organization who have the qualities to lead the organization, Najib was content to surround himself with "Yes Men" who'd do his and Rosmah's every bidding.
The Cigar smoking and wine drinking PM was having a gala time, surrounded by less intelligent Malaysians who would do his bidding to be rewarded by his Philosophy of "Cash Is King" and he really thought he was equipped to get away with murder which he managed for some time but forgot that the long arm of the law would eventually get him one day by the power of the people.
Now while Khairy laments his failure to approach Najib and tell him the "truth", the truth be told Khairy was afraid of the consequences of what would happen if he did tell Najib and more so if Rosmah came to hear of it..
Now assuming Khairy is telling the truth why is he still keeping it away from Zahid? Zahid has a lot of dirty linen in the closet too, so why is Khairy not asking Zahid to open up his closet?
Well to answer that question the Zahid will do what he knows too well to do, what is an UMNO/Najib regime strategy, sack Khairy or Hisamuddin or anyone who dares challenge them and that is all Zahid knows, he'd seek help from Tengku Adnan who is also a specialist in that area.
Tengku Adnan? Oh yes that reminds me, when is the UMNO general assembly to convene?
Can it even convene?
What is UMNO's status as a Registered Political Party having breached its own Constitution?
What has the Registrar of Societies got to say about UMNO's Status?
And Most important of all, how come no one in UMNO is even bothered with the urgency of convening the assembly?
Yes the caretaker Deputy Prime Minister has promised to undermine the will of the people post GE14.
The people and especially the Malays in the Malay heartland have to seriously consider what the Deputy Prime Minister has told the people rather arrogantly and without regard of their wishesin the ballot box, because he actually seems to be taking everybody for a fool, Malay and non Malay alike.
THE REJECTED SHARIZAT ABDUL JALIL TO BE MADE MINISTER? YES!! SAYS AHMAD ZAHID THE UN-ELECTED DEPUTY PRESIDENT OF UMNO
The Malays have rejected Sharizat Abdul Jalil, her attempts to become the candidate for Banda Tun Razak a seat she coveted was rejected by the UMNO division there as they see her as a liability for
sometimes he struggles to understand what he is talking about.
that position and she and the BN decided rightfully that she will not stand in any seat as she is seen as one of the BN's weakest and most controversial candidates. that being the prime reason the leader of the powerful Wanita wing of UMNO is not standing for elections, it is akin to Khairy the head of UMNO youth not being fielded, or maybe even Najib himself as President of UMNO not being fielded.
The truth be told even UMNO members do not support Sharizat, she may have a strong support in the Wanita Wing but in UMNO as a whole she has lost her sting and is seen as more a liability.
Now the Caretaker Deputy Prime Minster and the un-elected Deputy President of UMNO Ahmad Zahid Hamidid has come out and thrown scorn not only on his own organization UMNO, but also on all Malaysians saying that if the BN wins tomorrow's elections Sharizat will be brought into the cabinet via the senate, what is always been referred to as the back door.
A candidate who dares not face the rakyat has no place either in the Dewan Rakyat, or even in the
Partners with similar mental capacities
Senate, both these houses ahve to be treated with respect an not with scorn, the scorn Zahid proposes, it is an insult to the King and the Country. A people discard, whose own party had lost confidence in to be fielded as a candidate is to be recommended by the un-elected deputy president of UMNO to be brought into the candidate by the back door, a clear indication that the BN has no regard for the wishes of the people.
REJECT THE REJECTED - REJECT BARISAN NASIONAL AND ITS LACKEY PAS
If you think Sharizat and Parliament are the only cases look around, today in Malaysia right is wrong and wrong is right, the rich and powerful can do anything they wish and get away with it and will seem to be right, but the right that the ordinary man does is wrong and he will be punished for it.
Rafizi Ramli is going to Jail whilst Sharizat stands a chance fo sneaking into Parliament via the back door like thieves normally do. Today I received a rather interesting piece on my whatsap apparently a comment in Malaysiakini which seems to question Tony Fernandes of Air Asia, and just in case you are not privy to this letter
Forgot who sold him that Airline
let me share it with you here it is written by somebody whom I presume is a member of Air Asia as well;
"Tan Sri Dr. Tony Fernandes, please note that pursuant to clause 1.4.11 of the Company's code of Conduct, political activities are okay - but only if done outside Air Asia, and in the Directors own time and not in the capacity of an Air Asia staff. It is further stated that Air Asia does not give support to political parties, either through direct financial support or paid working time. And you shall not let your involvement in such political activities create issues of embarrassment to AirAsia. Appreciate your clarification of the same.
I'd really like to see this man Tony Fernandes reply the above letter or is the above non existent in his Company's rule and regulations, hand book or policies and is it a figment of the authors imagination, Or Is this man Tony Fernandes who wears a cap T-shirt and manages his airline just like any other worker in the airline above the Rules and Regulations of his own Company for if he is this is a clear case of how the BN's philosophies are creeping into our corporate culture and how this culture will eventually ruin Malaysia. The Barisan Nasional under Najib has allegedly been involved in numerous financial scandals, and in brushing these scandals aside they have never been transparent, to the extent that what has been officially revealed in some of these scandals by way of audits have been made "official secrets" under the Official Secrets Act (OSA).
Under such circumstances the rakyat have every right to assume that these allegations are much more then mere allegations they are real, very real. BN buys itself out of almost every crime, the abundance of money being given out to voters in hard cash is plentiful and yet the Elections Commission does nothing about it, and sees nothing wrong with it, at every election there is fixed maximum amount a candidate can spend on the elections and yet even though the amount is so blatantly exceeded the elections commission has over the years done nothing to disqualify such candidates. I had written on the day Najib took office that he had no right to the office before clearing his name on the Altantuya murder in which he seemed to have been complicit. I said that if he did then the office of tthe PM of Malaysia would be compromised, and I was not wrong. Once that office gets compromised the entire system of government gets compromised and isn't that the case now?
Australia? How he got there? I do not know - Minister of Home Affairs
UMNO's argument at the time was that he had gone to the Mosque and taken an Oath that he was not involved, and that he did not know Altantuya Shaaribu, can every other Malaysia claim the same standard of judgement in the case of murder in the country?
Why, even the police have admitted that they had not investigated Najib, both the accused were his personal bodyguards, in that capacity they took orders from him and from Rosmah Mansor his wife
Altantuya and her two murderers
and yet these two accused who had no motive whatsoever were found guilty and both Najib and Rosmah Mansor were never questioned or investigated by the police. How come?
Altantya was reported to be blackmailing Razak Baginda the Consultant in the Scorpene project, Rosamh was a partner in his Consultancy, Najib was the defense Minister who appointed Razak Baginda and a personal friend of Razak Baginda, it was in the process of the blackmail by Altantuya Sharibu that she was murdered by two of Najib's personal bodyguards, who had absolutely no motive to kill her, and yet all Najib had to do was to go to a Mosque and take an Oath to say he did not do it. Malaysians must be ridiculously stupid, suddenly one of the accused who was condemned for murder
His wife did make reference of him not wanting to be the PM when arrested.
is now happily living in Australia, it is reported that he has a huge bank deposit there and money sufficient to look after two generation of his in Australia, one keeps wondering if a witch flew there on a broom and deposited that large amount for him there. Tomorrow we go to the polls are we going to go there with our eyes wide open to what is happening in our country?
Are we going to put the interest of our future
generations before us or are we going to put our own selfish personal short term interest take precedence and vote the BN for a handouts whilst they rob you from the back door?
Don't ask me, I know nothing
Are we going to get rid of tyranny and introduce a system of governance that is fair and equitable to all Malaysians? Are we going to allow ourselves to be victims of continued rising prices, through low productivity, corruption, and daylight robbery of our national wealth by those in power? Or Are we going to say enough enough enough, we want a fair and just Malaysia we want change and we vote change -CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
