Malaysia happily witnesses the accelerating process of UMNO-BN’s road to political oblivion. Marred by political and moral sins, defiled by mega corruption, UMNO and its erstwhile leaders have become political crooks of the highest order.
Its leader is confronted with public wrath, tormented by allegations of very serious crimes, now tries to salvage his fast dwindling integrity by giving out peanut cash to the public.
But despite his giving of money and hopeless promises, the public seems to have become immune to this kind of tricks and treachery , which is usually the last desperate attempts to cling on to power.
Nature and its laws will work against any leader who has lost his virtues, fallen into the pit of corruption and has acquired a tyrant’s behaviour.
UMNO’s leaders have become infected with self devastating corruption, with no remedy. UMNO now stinks with virulent bribery culture, at every level corruption has into its vitals, leaving it to rot within itself.
No amount of propaganda, and its own prostituted media can save UMNO from its corruption driven destruction, the public hatred for UMNO has grown to such and high level, and to a point where almost each and every one rejects whatever UMNO has to say and there seems to be now positive expected outcome from the their propaganda machines.
UMNO, with the heap of corruption burying them, has lost its political bearings and is now plunged into a crisis , with inevitable collapse. This marks the end of the process of destruction which afflicted UMNO since the 1980s.
This augurs well for the people, for an evil political party is the greatest enemy of the people. Due its poisonous badness, UMNO and its allies will be eliminated, for the law of nature will not allow evil to dominate leadership.
We wish UMNO farewell, and hope it will resurrect after its burial by the people of Malaysia.

NEP is for the malays to plough themselves to be on par with the economically more active chinese. However, it was abused and 80% malays remained poor till this day. However, even though NEP didn’t served it’s purpose, malays have been brainwashed to think that their NEP is their Godgiven right and taking it away now would only provoke an unhealthy sentiment towards politicians against it. Yes, NEP is out of date but one just cannot “snatch”the idea away and hoping that the malays would give the opposition votes for that. Remember, it’s like taking their rice bowl away, empty for many no doubt. Instead why not wean the malays out of the “trap” in 5 years, may be more? Promise a fair and equal Malaysia but with special emphasis on truly taking care of the poorer malays welfare and not just them but the Indians and Eastern malaysians too. Give them confidence, don’t take away their hopes. Make them feel important and don’t remove their self esteem. Look at the Singapore model. Singapore malays and indians are now on par with their fellow chinese citizens. Don’t rush into things. It took them more than 20 years to achieve their goals. for now, if you want malay and indian votes, ride alongside them and make them grow with you. Remember again, most of them are still in the kampongs and they need to be educated to be on par with urbanites. for now, just don’t rob them of what they think is their Godgiven rights.
