The Rakyat is Fed-up with UMNO and BN

 Dato', the father of the son had a wife who like Dr Siti Hasmah stayed a sensible distance away from her man so as not to compromise his words and actions. The father of the son also wore bush-jackets to keep laundry bills low. The father of the son never had any need for slogans or below-the-belt thuggish quid pro quo deals, and this the son did with deliberate flourish to an obsequious fawning crowd of 'fixed depositors' who didn't even realise they were talked down to by a man who thinks the public Treasury belongs to him and U-BN. The father of the son disallowed senior officers from wasting time bidding teary farewells at the airport. The father of the son frowned upon skirt-chasing as much as he frowned upon misusing public funds.

My friends and I, at this juncture of our life, have decided that enough is enough, U-BN must go this time.

I have included a moving comment from an anonymous visitor to this blog. I am sure it will find resounding resonance with many right thinking Malaysians.The above person is of course referring to Tun Razak.


Imagine this. DAP can supplant MCA in any ruling government as a main partner. To MCA, that is the mother of all horrors. PAS and PKR partner DAP to form a new government. DAP represents the Chinese as the rational voice. MCA now turns into a grouping of xenophobic communalists attacking what is the most precious thing in the life of a Malay Muslim. His religion. Who stands idly by? The PM who couldn’t answer a schoolchild’s question to give another example of an unclean item. 

It’s his and MCA last hurrah. Will the Malay abandon all self-respect and support any MCA candidate in the next election? Why should any self-respecting Malay support UMNO which stands idly by and endorses a morbid communalist party like the MCA?

So Najib lashes out at the impotence of MCA as well that of himself. MCA can no longer sustain Chinese support and UMNO is absolutely disabled to help. It has come to this because all this while, it has turned MCA into a party of honorary Malays. So, it reaps what it has sown.

The prospect of DAP supplanting and eliminating MCA altogether, is the main reason, why Najib attempts a meek scare mongering tactic. People are not buying whatever you say now Mr. PM.

PM Najib says Malays are fed-up with DAP? We, who know Najib well, know he is playing to the gallery. He is acutely aware that he is speaking among political rejects that are seeing their party’s influence among the ethnic group which it is supposed to champion, diminishing fast. Its claim that it’s regaining legitimacy among the Chinese sounds so phony and laughable. It knows it can only deliver at best 3 parliamentary seats in the coming elections. The party has been reduced to the status of a neutered Chihuahua.

MCA’s bark is worse that it’s bite. We will humor both Najib and his sleeping partner, MCA. In the meantime, let the UMNO president thinks he is a Rottweiler and liking that unexpected role.

Why should the Malays be fed-up? DAP has always contested in areas where MCA candidates stand. DAP poses no threat then to UMNO. So, could it be that Najib is really and actually fed-up with MCA for being completely impotent at winning over the Chinese. Its president is virile, the party impotent or effeminate.

So MCA bends over and does the unthinkable-articulates issues that alienate them further from Malay votes while at the same time, places Malaysian Chinese as seemingly natural enemies to Malays. That is a position all right- thinking Malaysian Chinese must refuse. They cannot ride on the irresponsible and xenophobic new approach of MCA. MCA is desperate for your support. End its misery. Abandon the party.

How stupid can that be? And Najib knows this.  That’s why he lashes out at DAP.

MCA is such old school- overplaying the discredited morbid chauvinist role when that is no longer relevant to current politics. For playing the role of a besieged racist supremacist, MCA has found some kindred spirit with the moronic Ibrahim Ali who will be licking Najib at a certain part of the latter’s anatomy where the sun does not shine, hoping to get a seat to contest.

How do the UMNO people treat MCA's tantrums? MCA’s vehement protests against an imaginary serious issue are just outpourings of concern, while DAP’s Karpal technical opposition to Islamic rule is a fundamental issue. MCA’s direct and scornful diatribes against Islam are tolerable while less intense technical opposition from DAP is taken as virulent and insidious assault on Muslims? The entire delegation of MCA representatives to its recent AGM should at once be arrested for incitement.

When the MCA says that Hudud which is currently a non-issue, could have been implemented a long time ago had UMNO wished to but has not- that means that UMNO, a Muslim party does not support Islamic laws. UMNO and its leaders mock Islam. If Hudud is implemented, this country will be in a mess. We wouldn’t have enough stone pebbles to stone offenders. The reason why people go unshaven is because we don’t have razor blades. UMNO PM’s from Mahathir to Najib have ridiculed Islam.

And yet we have a PM who goes around saying that his government carries out policies that’s sharia compliant ( Maqasid shar’iyah). This is the same Malay Muslim PM who looked like a stupid jerk when being caught off guard when he couldn’t answer one simple question about giving another example of unclean things.

Why should the Malay find DAP objectionable? Don’t ask DAP to do impossible things. It can fight for a democratic state, based on the rule of law and good governance and all that. It can do all that with 100% commitment and unwavering dedication.

But, you cannot expect DAP to speak on Hudud or Islamic issue, because it’s a secular democratic party. It’s never founded on theocratic principles. Nor should MCA pick up the mettle to speak on something that is beyond itself. The party that can speak of hudud is UMNO because it’s founded on agama, bangsa dan tanah air. PAS which operates on Islamic principles is not treating hudud as a big issue. It recognizes Karpal’s objection but does not necessarily agree to the latter’s opposition to the Islamic state, because as Karpal rightfully pointed out, our constitution is a secular one that cannot support that agenda.

But what if the constitution is amended? We are not going to pretend that this country isn’t a country where the majority is Muslim nor are we going to pretend there isn’t a sizeable non-Muslim population. What then? Then we will have to carve out a living based on accommodation and adjustments where the rights of all are recognized and protected by law.

Anything is possible, but let us all do the right thing first. Kick out UMNO and Barisan Nasional.

….to be continued.
