Just decided to come out of my shocking horror of the absurdity and disgust of some UMNO leader "wannabes" in my last September 25th posting!
Had everyone realise that the MSM had been equally silent over such "stupidity" since but rather focused on the decision by PM not defend the UMNO President position in this coming March '09 party elections and thus facilitates the transition of power to the present DPM. Would there be a turn around or twist in the run up to March '09? You bet!
Che Det says it was a good decision for UMNO with the "forced out" of party post while many thinks his "mission" is not over yet till the elections is over on the position of the party youth wing head.
The decision by PM was expected as more future DPM "wannabes" started declaring their interest in contesting for the "vacant" No. 2 position in the UMNO. Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib, Pulai MP Nur Jazlan Mohamad, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Datuk Mohd. Ali Rustam are all in the running for the much sought after glamourous position. And just like those pesky little rats, they start scuttling for support from the members to secure their challenge.
Clearly it is a race for economic gains for the individual and supporters instead of the good of the nation. So it comes back to the old situation of championing the particular race, economic well being of the community as well as the "glamour" with a further hope of seating in the PM seat should Najib retires, step down or possibly, in even more dramatic exit.
Would there be a surprise for 2 DPM positions with the other occupied by a non-Malay? If this happens, then it would definitely rattle the hardcore UMNO Malay mentality for championing their race whilst the other BN race-based component parties would see UMNO going back to their old ways.
It would be difficult to change a mindset of party followers in UMNO since the participation in the party had been traditionally been for economic gains which had been carried on till this day. It is not a question of old habits but rather the "rat race" within the party members pitting against one another to be at the pole position.
Can UMNO get rid of these dirty habits? Certainly not, what makes you so sure that they can change their habits when they have been leading a blissful life jet setting across the world, cruising around the streets in chauffer driven luxury cars, bungalows (in and out of the country), body adorned with branded goods, overseas holidays and shopping etc.
The present DPM (and his missus) is equally hounded by the various allegations and police reports lodged which nothing had been announced by the investigators. Ask WHY?
So Malaysians, brace for the same old darn situation (could be worse) as long as UMNO and BN are in the driving seat.
A much more likely or rather, ideal situation would be the takeover by Anwar Ibrahim before March party elections which would render the UMNO party elections as formality for their so called"re-formation".
