RELIABLE UMNO MEMBERS PREDICT UMNO'S FALL IF......

THEY JUST DON'T GET IT -
BN AND UMNO FELL BECAUSE OF NAJIB. 
SACK NAJIB NOW!!! SAY CONCERNED  MEMBERS AND VETERANS.

 More and more UMNO members feel tht Najib should be sacked from the party without further delay to save the party, some have openly pronounced that the fall of UMNO at the last elections was all about 1MDB and nothing less, and Najib or MO1 represents 1MDB,  to have him in the party leave alone calling the shots, with his sidekick as President is not helping at all.
 

Who controls who?

If UMNO is to survive "Sack Najib now" are the words of a prominent UMNO man,  "and reconsider the positions of , Zahid and the Wanita Chief, we can do that by calling and EGM."

I was in Melaka over the weekend and met up with my UMNO friends, and they were delighted to meet up with me, they knew that I had tea with a senior UMNO man from the south and wanted to know more, there wasn't much to tell except for what I have said above my meeting with him was by chance and very short.

Three guys from Johor, one from Negeri Sembilan and two from Melaka and the first thing they asked me was, "hey Toffee what you got scared of the ICERD rally ke?"

Well I was in Melaka for other reasons not even politics and I decided to drop in on them as they were there, I am always in Melaka  at this time of the year.

As we were talking they told me what was going to happen in Sabah and I did not take them seriously, it sounded so untrue and quite unbelievable, the actual language used by this chap whom I know as Daud from Johor was, "UMNO will be sacked from Sabah," and yes that is the words he used were exactly that,  "UMNO will be sacked from Sabah." 

Harsh I thought extremely Harsh, "Sacked?"

Those were strong words and the Negeri Sembilan guy concurred so did the rest except for my friend from Masjid Tanah,  he was not too sure, what he said was,  "yes some may leave but to say 'Sacked'  is carrying it too far, that means completely defeated and crushed, not so drastic lah, the usual one or two only lah"

Ya,  but the events in Sabah have not resulted in one or two, even the likes of Said Keruak and Pandikar Amin Muliaand what is really an exodus seems to lend credit to Daud's statement.

The Sabah Exodus-Not just 1 or 2 but almost all

No doubt all are opportunists, but then this is politics one would say and really we are awfully lucky the likes of  Said Keruak and Pandikar Amin Mulia are not in Parliament, I guess they are trying to avoid prosecution, that is the game of political prostitutes and it has been so for a long time now.

Now to get to the subject matter what all my friends were in agreement about was the what they called "THE GEMPA BUMI OF 2019,"  where they claim UMNO will be left with less then 20 Members of Parliament and that is serious. One of them reckons it will be close to only 10, and if that is not shocking there are a few PAS members waiting to cross over to Amanah and PKR too.

The movement of UMNO members of Parliament and even state Assembly persons  will take place before February 11th they reckon and I am beginning to take that seriously now.

According to them Zahid is no leader at all, "he should have taken leadership rather then be Najib's sidekick as he now is," said the other Johor member. 

My friend from Masjid Tanah whose father was  a strong UMNO vetran, and who witnessed and knows the man  from UMNO who carried  RM50 million from KUBB in cash in two bags to Harris

Who's got plans?

Salleh prior to the fateful elections where he lost to Joseph Pairin said, " look it was because of Najib that UMNO lost, and lost so badly, we all know it everybody knows it, except the present day UMNO supreme council, so you know the kind of idiots we have in the UMNO Supreme Council." 

According to these chaps, Najib knows it too but he is only trying to save his own skin and is taking UMNO to hell but that is of least concern to him, he wants all these charges against him and Rosmah  to go away and  he is prepared to do anything even surrendering UMNO to PAS.

Is this UMNO or PAS?

What Najib and Zahid  does not realise is that  the great majority of UMNO members are not the type who buy into Hadi and Pas' agenda of an Islamic state, that is not compatible with UMNO and has never been party of the UMNO dream. Najib is taking the party away from its objectives to serve his own purpose and some UMNO people are beginning to see it, the ICERD rally was one, where UMNO discarded its  "Red" for the PAS "White."  Najib is willing to destroy UMNO if he gets out of this rut he is in now he will leave the country,  a rich man at that and that is exactly what he wants.

"Now with Najib still hemming  the UMNO leadership with a sidekick who has absolutely no clue of what is happening around him, the members are getting fed up and are trying to steer the party right but fail at each turn," continued my friend.

"As much as we disliked Khairy we are now seeing some sense in what he saying, UMNO needs to reinvent itself, we have been saying that to you all the time Toffee, since before the 2013 elections go look at your own articles. We still do not like Khairy he has to do more if we are to back him he has to come out strong, put Najib in his place after all Najib is a nobody today but a man who has been charged for many crimes and that is how many in the general membership see him, but dare not voice ou their opinions, they know that there is hidden treasures in UMNO and they are hoping for tpart of that loot, but if Khairy comes out strong and challenges the status quo in UMNO today and even exposes some of the wrong doings, demands Najib step aside and leave the party to carry on with its own course without his intervention things may change, but Khairy does not dare take such a big risk. Well to be honest if Khairy wants himself counted as a future leader he has to do just that, he has grass root support and would have done better if not for Kuli's intervention," said Daud

According to these friends of mine growing numbers in Kedah UMNO are beginning to see CheDet (Tun) as the better alternative, and they do not want PAS to take control of Kedah at any cost so they are willing to cross over. 

Najib's and Zahid's courtship of PAS has left many UMNO members not only in Kedah and Perak worried bu also UMNO members in Kelantan, Trengganu, Pahang, Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan.

PAS is on a reverse takeover bid of UMNO it has always been on their agenda since they were sacked from Kelantan by Hussein Onn and Najib and Zahid are seen as their tools to do so.

Are UMNO's days numbered, yes I think so too, these UMNO friends of mine have hardly been wrong and this they say will happen before 11th February 2019, and Daud reiterated BEFORE 11th FEBRUARY !!!!!

To Bring in ICERD peacefully we have to first get rid of Venarcular Schools.

 THERE MUST BE A MINDSET CHANGE FROM ALL QUARTERS.

Recently there has been a spate of provocative incidents involving mostly UMNO and PAS influenced groups about ICERD.

The people at large are asking why the police are not taking action,  criticisms abound  on the PH government  and no one is spared.

The way I look at it there is a massive amount of ignorance on both sides of the divide, it is communal and it has been developed since the days of the British and advanced not only by the BN but the political system by and large, it reflects on both sides of the house the government and the opposition since independence.

Has he found a way of getting out of the trouble he is in?

The  UMNO/PAS leadership's  fanning of  discontent and discord  over ICERD among  their members, the majority of whom  do not have clue of what ICERD is, but go on and get incited by this leadership on the premise of what is told to them that it is a threat to the Malays, the Royals and Islam, that is what they have been told, they accept it  and it  only goes to show how ignorant these grassroots are.

Making the grasroots ignorant seemed to be UMNO's strategy in the NEP to control them. 

Mahahtir has said and even Zahid and Hadi should know it is  an impossibility to Ratify ICERD, as we'd require to amend the Constitution first  and to do that the government has to have a two third majority voting in favour, which means PAS and many UMNO MPs will have to vote for it and to make matters worse there are even people in PH who are against it, so how are we going to get there.

 Why the Hurry?

I think the real issue of ICERD has to be discussed and understood across the board and as Anwar has put it very rightly:  why the hurry? 

After all  Rome was not built in a day, and I really think that P Waytha Moorthy has jumped the gun. The new government has not even setteled in and he brings out such a controversial issue, it reflects on his political abilities.

Why the Hurry

I'd like to ask him if we can do away with Tamil schools, and Chinese Schools too?
 

If we are to be one people should we not have a single single school system, so that our children grow up together and and foster racial unity first?

I remember writing in an earlier article about HINDRAF that the Tamils who are marginalised are marginalised the day they go to Tamils schools. 

Why, even when they come to the secondary schools where it's no longer a Tamil school they find it difficult to even associate with the Tamil boys who have spent all their primary education in the normal Government schools. They stick to themselves, talk Tamil among themselves an eventually get more marginalized. 

Well I'll admit the situation is improving in Tamil schools but that is not the answer, getting out of the Tamils schools and putting a stop to this segregated educational system  is.  

I am sure there will be many who will come and ask why?

Why?

Because we need our children to begin mixing and learning and playing together in close harmony with Malaysians of all races in one school system so that the  the mindset changes to that of Malaysians and not Chinese, Indian and Melayu,  they grow up as one and learn to appreciate each others point of view, then things will become more cordial. 

Over time they'll learn to live as one. Over time of course if we began that from Independence we'd be there today. Lets start now so that our children's children will enjoy that one day.

This is where the education policy has to be seriously  looked into and revamped, turn the present thinking upside down, the changes have to be drastic.  

I am sure we can gain  useful contributions to this from the present crop of Tamil and Chinese School boards too  and this can be done if there is a real will to unite everybody in this country as one people and one nation.

There is certainly a lot to learn from the Chinese schools to improve the quality of education for the children as much as  the Chinese Schools can learn from National Schools as well and the current crop of Tamils schools which have improved leaps and bounds in the quality of their students and curriculum now,  use that learning experience from all the types of schools to come out with a  single efficient and dynamic system led by a value system like the Rukun Negara.

Our biggest problem stems from the education system that allows the vernacular an Tafiz Schools to  segregate our students,  it  fosters division to the extent that it is almost enmity among Malaysians of different races from a very young age, what are we trying to do? 

That is the root cause of all our problems.

If we can get that right,  we'll get this (ICERD) right then we are certainly on the road to unity and a unified country.

Excellent single stream education should  be our topmost priority. education cannot be discriminatory, equal opportunity should be given to all students with special care for rural schools.

Religion should be the domain of the various religious groups and there should be no coercing.coveting  and forcing minors with religious education not of their respective religions. 

I am not talking about the Muslims alone, I am talking of the Christians too as it does happen in some cases.

After 61 years of Independence we are a  divided nation, more so now then at the pre-independence era and all this can be attributed to the educational system we fostered and promoted all these years, and all of us have to take the blame not the BN alone we allowed it to happen by bickering and promoting the vernacular system.

Pupils own language:

There are two sides to this coin, and I'd like to take the Sikhs as the example.

There are no Punjabi schools in this country, I mean regular Punjabi schools as there Tamil and Chinese Schools. 

They have classes in their Gurduwaras where the language is taught, the parents who are keen that their children know their mother tongue make sure they attend and they learn the language well supervised..

There may be  some who may not be keen but they are not forced to do so, it is their choice of the parents, but going by percentage in population more Sikhs are committed to their Children learning Punjabi then Tamils having their Children learning Tamil and Chinese learning Chinese. 

Any Introduction needed?

The Sikhs have made it a point to have Punjabi education for their children and they have catered for it, they even provide teacher training for Temples who require and do not have Punjabi teachers, All Sikhs speak Punjabi, Most in fact almost all speak Malay, many English and even Tamil and are Malaysians thru and thru and although a small community are very visible in the country, from the Courts to Parliament to Hospitals, the Police Force, Other branches of Government Service and of course the Bars all "Big Strong and Friendly."

Distinctly visible

If the Chinese and Tamils are really interested in their respective languages for their children they should make the necessary options available, based on demand the government could cater fo a third language .in the country, or leave it at two and let them choose between Bahasa which will be compulsory,  then English, Chinese or Tamil, this will strengthen the Bahasa.

If we are sincere about ICERD this is the route we have to take. 

The poor education system in the country, the divisive nature of the system is what has brought this negativity about ICERD and where we are today in race relations.

Our History has to be really looked into and it should be focused on the truth too.

On the other side of the divide we see the ignorance of the UMNO and PAS influenced Masses, they are so narrow in their thinking that UMNO and PAS are actually using them the way the instigators of suicide bombers get innocent young people including children to blow themselves up with bombs.

This has become possible because UMNO with its NEP actually churned out not second class but fourth class graduates from universities, not all of them but a significant portion that you can tell them any nonsense and they'll buy it, as long as you tell them that  race and religion are a threat they will jump and start reacting they have made sure that Race, Religion and the Royalty are the flash point.

These people do not have an inkling about what they are talking about, in the first place they do not even understand what ICERD is but are effectively used by the leadership of these provocateurs, and as Mahathir rightly put it there will be no trouble unless Zahid starts it.

The likes of Zahid, Najib and even Hadi are keen to see the investigations into corrupt practices, money laundering and Criminal Breach of trust disappear and the one way they now probably see that as possible is by creating trouble - Big Touble.

The Police rightly are not acting they do not want to give these trouble makers the opportunity to start trouble on a big scale, all responsible Malaysians from both sides of the divide  have to keep calm and not give trouble makers the opportunity of inciting trouble.

Don't give them that Opportunity

It is therefore not surprising that some of the agitators we see today are even threatening people with the recurrence of May 13th and to me that is to be expected, this kind of talk and behavior because we are dealing with.   After all we know the architect of May 13th don't we?

If we are serious and show we are serious about improving our education system and if we are prepared to make the sacrifices of nation building then surely there is a possibility of a non Malay Education Minister as well in the future, it will take time,  people who  are truly qualified because once that trust is built,  the Malays will only be too happy to have the best man on this job after all it is eduction.

Are we ready for Nation Building?
