IF THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION COME SEPTEMBER 2008.

There are some who envisage there will be another election come September as a consequence of Tun Mahathir’s (Tun) strategic move to conditionally leave UMNO.

This article looks a proposed course of action to be taken to counter the bias reporting of the MSM under the concept of “Freedom of the Press” on Tun’s move as well as the Silent Majority’s possible response in the event another general election in September comes true.

Media Coverage – The utter bias coverage by the MSM on Tun’s conditional leaving UMNO is all but expected. The hypocrisy of MSM will be of the highest degree advanced under “Freedom of the Press”. However it signals that we should be aggressive in our own dissemination of pertinent facts and information following some examples how the DAP had photocopied articles for circulation on supposed injustices in BN in particular regarding the plundering of t he 1^st Family to procure the votes of an already agitated mainly Chinese Silent Majority and the other races fed up with the bias reporting of the MSM.

The loyal supporters, in upholding the true ideals and principles of UMNO, should embark on an aggressive concerted pr exercise in exposing

- the scams by the UMNO leadership to assist other members who easy access to pertinent facts and information

- the injustices, plundering, blunders and dangerous consequences and ramifications of the populist policies of the top 1^st Family example the many exploitations, the misuse and destruction of Judiciary Process to settle scores, the hypocrisies expounded by people like Musa Hitam on governance when the country’s state of governance is a humiliation with the perpetuation of the 1^st Family in overall state matters – a sham I never had expected of our country as it advances into the future. What good are reforms if the people feel jeopardize?

- the overall weak leadership with yes men to be led rather than lead and their relevant examples in succumbing to the wishes of the minority to secure favors against the interest of religion (the use of the word Allah, conversion flip flops etc), inability to have good relations with the Royalty, the misuse and destruction of the Judiciary system in unearthing a 20 year dead case, the false pretences in advocating the epitome of justice by the President’s men etc

- the differences and the failures/ deviations of the President (of course the 1^st Family) in upholding the original principles and policies of UMNO while advancing personal family interest which the people and the royalty cannot accept. UMNO is not owned by the House of Badawi!!!!

- the dangerous procurement of new youth members with past associations with DSAI, what happen to existing UMNO youth members, are they all dysfunctional?

- the many gruesome plots initiated by the Executive, some apparently appear to be in mutual co-operation with the Opposition against our beloved Tun

- the individual detail profile of those yes men who should be rejected by the voters because the Silent Majority despises their presence

- the specter of deceit, intimation and mass money politic brought about by the Executive and the 1^st Family to sustain power etc

SPIN, SPIN & SPIN, that’s the game.

All these must be shown working against interest of the Nation, Party and Religion. These publications should be brief, to the point, critical, honest, and objective and yet reader friendly; they should able to effectively communicate the appropriate messages to the general segment of the grassroots. The effective distribution offers an awesome challenge to the MSM and Alternative Media ensuring the similar effect of the unexpected defeats in GE12. The recent letters by Tun as posted in his blog Che Det are good examples that should be followed by script writers. Such effective dissemination should be done both openly or discreetly is to spread the truth in countering the propaganda unleashed in deceit by the Executive and tantamount to the people’s anger against the Executive.

“Whose fault is it this current crisis?” It takes two hands to clap, so people say and in this case with the massive commotion, disruptions, and disagreements etc all the plentiful hands should take blame but the difference could be in respect of their good intentions.

The 3 personalities, Tun, PM and DSAI present upon the Silent Majority the following choices

a) Tun, uninterested in becoming PM, advances his belief that the present Executive needs to resign soonest to make way for a new leadership and that UMNO reverts to its original ideals for its betterment as well as that of BN in the greater interest of the rakyat.

b) PM, defiant he has still has majority control to lead the country but in reality succumbs to pressures from within and outside the party. His pro reforms agenda does not appeal to many in his party. Thus in self delusion, he listens not to the ground but to the many bigots surrounding him who are bleeding the party to self-destruction. He presents himself that he needs to stay on as the Executive because he has a lot of work to do. The transition plan that he was to announce remains unannounced. To many he is merely a mouth piece of his family and those of the 4^th Floor boys. The abuse of power by the 1^st Family has and still is so apparent that the rakyat would want nothing else but his ouster.

c) DSAI, the PM in waiting. Capitalizing on the protest votes, he assumes he can take on the country’s leadership role amidst the supposed demise of UMNO and BN. His party and political associates represent a marriage of convenience without any proof of an effective coalition and administrative capability. He represents nothing more than chaos riding on the unhappiness of the rakyat.

It is well known that PM and DSAI are loved by those who wish to see the demise of UMNO and BN. Thus, the Silent Majority are unlikely to endorse these two personalities and their cult and thus Tun’s option as an alternative to UMNO and BN looks appealing when the time comes. Below is the Silent Majority’s likely overview of each of the 3 personalities.

1. Religion & Statesmanship

Tun – His fight for Islam has been credited and accepted internationally that the Muslim (including 3rd world) countries have only but high respect for him as a world class leader and statesman. For sure, when one goes to Islamic countries like Indonesia and Palestine and to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj, the citizens of those countries regard Malaysia as synonymous with Tun and one gets the fullest of respect. Similarly, with 3^rd world countries. Under his administration, he built and preserved the sanctity of Islam in this country while respecting the rights of the other religions. He need not give in to the demands from the minority religions just to win favors from them and he knows how sensitive the religion is to the majority of the population. For a multi-racial and religious society like Malaysia, he understands without fear and favors the need to have a strong government to preserve the peace and tranquility. Perhaps he maybe construed as a tyrant or dictator by some but to others such notions are but bias and with full of prejudice. He is also not liked by the US and Israel nor many western countries and their institutions like the IMF, AWSJ, Time etc including the barbarians at the gate namely the hedge funds type like the infamous George Soros ready to rape and destroy the country.

PM - His Islam Hadhari was concocted amidst the intention to win over Kelantan. For those who claim themselves religious but yet intentionally cause harm and damage to the religion, the deepest of hell have been reserved for them. For obvious reasons, PM cannot be portrayed as an Islamic leader with international recognition and not able to carry forth his vision for Islam Hadhari. Perhaps with Allah’s assistance, PAS handed him the worst defeat in Kelantan and extended their victories elsewhere without the need of massive funds, material luring, intimidation and deceit; many thanks to his Islam Hadhari as well as his and SIL arrogance. In trying to win the favors of the minority, he advocates more freedom and thus lax on the sanctity of Islam. Internationally, Malaysia is loosing fast its place as a leader of the Islamic faith and 3^rd world countries, thanks to the short sightedness of PM. Respect is earned by deeds and not inherent to the position of authority. He cannot be compared at all with the statesmanship of Tun even if PM is given another 15 years to lead; he doesn’t have the caliber nor understand good governance or statesmanship because his decisions, more often than not, are influenced by his love for his family and extended families at the expense of the State.

DSAI – Because of his past history from being an ABIM leader to his ouster as DPM etc, I have a very prejudiced opinion of him. He is currently a visiting professor for a US University, Chairman of the Foundation of the Future and has close association with the US Administration. He is an acclaimed devout Muslim by the former US deputy defense minister, named as 100 most influential persons by Time Magazine and regarded as the future PM of Malaysia by Israel. God forbid, I will never trust my religion and state in his hands.

2. Party –UMNO

Tun – He had indeed fought courageously for his race, build the many institutions which helped the Malays and righteously believed in the original aims of UMNO to lead the Malays and the country under BN. He has generally has good relations with the Council of Rulers and respect them for their place in our constitution. He believes that with political dominance, the Malays while giving due respect to the other races, will lead the country to greater heights. I know no one more selfless than Tun in protecting the wellbeing of his race under UMNO.

PM - Can’t think any good he did for UMNO. Perhaps his poor leadership skills have brought UMNO to its worst state in its history. While PM’s yes men would consider Tun as ‘duri dalam daging’, I would put PM as the person wholly responsible and accountable for the continuing divisions in UMNO, not Tun. His hall mark of personal family interest first before the Party, the massive plundering and use of money politics, deviation from the original objectives of UMNO has indeed messed up the Party and country. Being arrogant and bodoh sombong, he and his family will be the cause of the ultimate destruction of UMNO should the imminent happen.

DSAI – He cannot be trusted with whatever he says, he is a chameleon. I confessed I am so utterly prejudiced about him that I care not to believe with whatever he says. A leopard cannot change its spot so does a traitor to the state.

3. Country/ Nation

Tun – Much has already been said about Tun as an astute statesman of international standing. His grit in governance has helped saved the country during the Financial Crises of the 97. The 22 years of governance is responsible for bringing the country to what it is today, one that is admired by the other developing and Islamic countries. Much more can be said about Tun but I need not elaborate.

PM – A big sham, no more Mr Clean as we are aware of the massive plundering of the Nation’s wealth by the 1^st Family and associates. He has yet to give explicit explanations on the much exploitation involving the 1^st Family and so the cloud of guilt overhangs his ugly governance.

DSAI – His removal as DPM and FM following his mishandling of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis is enough to demonstrate his inability to lead the Nation. I wouldn’t know whether I could afford to walk around with my clothes on if the barbarians managed to rape the wealth of this Nation.

In the Event of an general election

Tun has made his strategic move by conditionally leaving UMNO and there are many probabilities of what could happen. Thus should there is a general election be held in September as envisaged by DSAI, the ultimate say will then fall back onto the hands of the electorates while the UMNO elected representatives can only but cry wolf. The electorate is wise enough to decide what the best is for their future. Under siege the Malays will be united but UMNO will be divided and fall if PM and his cronies are still at the behest. Consequently, I would expect the Silent Majority to vote out UMNO and BN unless PM resigns and I am sure Tun is well aware of such consequences. PM and his family will be caught with their pants down and every where they turn, the hangman waits with the noose; we will have the making of our own “Ferdinald Marcos” ignominy.

All Praise be to Allah, The One God, the Most Merciful and Compassionate, there is no gods but God, the All Mighty. We, the Ummah, constantly seek His Guidance and way out in these times of great treachery and chaos. God will not change the fate of a Nation unless the Nation decides so. There is much to do before the time comes.
