The END of UMNO and RAHMAN is very much desired in 50 years Msia..
But this end too would bring terrible backlash with Anwar (must End with a War) around.
So Malaysia is a total losers when all ex UMNOs fight nail and tooth to grab more and more even when nothing more to grab.
So we are nearer to Greece unless we stand firm in God and claim
Malaysia on safe ground and that is the reason I call for IGGG instead
of GE13 which is too devastating to be held.
All the past leaders
who have created the chaos cannot hold office as in 1969 hence IGGG had
to come in to save the nation possibly with the support of the armed
forces.
It is much better with IGGG than the aftermath of GE13 when the armed forces would be involved in a sort of civil war.
So
pray about this and take control of our only homeland. The lead always
come from Labuan since the colonial days. (BMF scandal was linked to
Labuan).

Begin forwarded message:
Malaysia
Congratulations to
Nawawi Mohamad for a very well written Factual Development of Malaysia
since its formation, and all the UMNO power brokers.All Malaysian should
read these Historical FACTS regarding its Formation, before they are
'twisted" or buried out of memory,like what have been done regarding the
History of Melaka, and the Hang warriors.
A rather long artcicle but a very informative one ! Good article; it summarizes all the criminal acts committed by UMNO ...
Malaysia's 6 prime ministers: When did the corruption and racism start?
Written by Nawawi Mohamad
Many of us may have
asked; when and why did the racial divisions in Malaysia start and who
is to blame? Obviously, the racial divide did not exist in old Malaya,
where the different races could live together in harmony in the kampongs
(villages) and small towns. Now, it seems that we are forever at the
brink of racial tension or even racial war. In fact, jihad (holy war)
has been declared several times by the Umno-linked Perkasa against the
Christians as well as the Chinese.
We should also ask why
a-still-young-nation with all the potential to be prosperous could so
quickly face impending bankruptcy. Also, what has happened to
patriotism; did it burn out or was it never really instilled into our
hearts? To find out, we have to go back in history.
The starting point
When UMNO was formed,
the late Onn Jaafar who was one of the main founders and who was the
then president, had to leave the party because a group of new faces
disagreed and fought with him over the political direction to be taken.
They insisted their ideas were better than his and this inevitably led
to the changes in policies, rules and objectives.
Whereas Onn was more
for uniting the Malays from all walks of life, with the Chinese, Indians
and other migrants under one organsation, and then jointly struggle for
independence, the group of UMNO leaders led by the late Tunku Abdul
Rahman was more interested in meeting the qualifying terms set by the
British for achieving independence - no matter how onerous.
The idea of a non-communal political party
Onn Jaafar - the
grandfather of current Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein - had indeed
been farsighted and visionary; he felt the need for racial harmony and a
non-communal political party was the best way to secure a prosperous
future for Malaya. No doubt the British did create the Malayan Union
comprising all races with equal rights, and even diluted the powers of
the Malay rulers, but the British were not really sincere at all.
The British did not
really want Malayans to be united as one, like in Onn's vision. Neither
did the British really want the Malayan Union to succeed. So the Malays
were led into rejecting the Malayan Union, paving the way for its
dissolution.
Had the British been
sincere, they would have backed Onn’s idea. Instead the British
supported Tunku when he was elected the new UMNO president after Onn
resigned. Onn had to quit after failing to garner the majority support
from the delegates on his multiracial vision after his speech in the
UMNO General Assembly in Kuala Lumpur in August 1951 backfired. The
Malays have never been united since then.
The idea of non-communal political party still lives on
But did Onn Jaafar
really have so little support? The answer is no, he had the support of
the Malays all over the country and at the grass root level. In fact
when Tunku tried to manage UMNO, he found out that most of the people
were not aware that Onn had left the party. The staff manning the UMNO
offices were also reluctant to work with Tunku as they still supported
Onn. In the end, Tunku had to abandon the old UMNO office bearers and
create a new set-up, appointing his own people to manage the party and
its activities.
Further proof of the
British ill-intent was when they told the Malayan entourage negotiating
for independence consisting of UMNO, MCA and MIC that Malaya could not
be given independence since the three major races were not united! Onn's
multiracial proposal was the best and it still is and the British also
knew that. Yet, they managed to convince the Malayan delegates to agree
on an Alliance with UMNO, MCA and MIC the pioneer members.
To their discredit, all three of them fell for it. Presumably this had been outlined by the British for Tunku to implement.
UMNO failed us from the start
Here UMNO has thus
failed twice; Firstly, to unite the Malays and consolidate their
political power and losing the opportunity to unite the various races
under one non-communal party. Secondly to really lead a more meaningful
struggle. Unlike the other true independent struggles seen all over the
world, Umno just “negotiated” for a 'walkover' from the British.
UMNO may argue that it
was the ingenuity of their leaders that helped Malayans gain
independence without bloodshed. This is not true! There was indeed a lot
of bloodshed but not amongst the UMNO people. What about the struggle
led by other groups and individuals? Let us also not forget that during
this period there were many other groups and individuals struggling and
fighting for independence and with the inevitable bloodshed. We were not
informed about their struggle as if the Alliance was the only one who
struggled. PAS deputy president Mat Sabu had exposed this one-sided
history for us. Besides the Communists, there were many others from all
the races.
Nations that
experienced, endured and managed to overcome all obstacles leading to
the true sense of independence are usually of a different breed. The
struggle instills real patriotism and their citizens really value what
they have achieved unlike Malaysians too, who need to be lured to fly
the Jalur Gemilang almost every time we try to celebrate the National
Day.
In the end, the
UMNO-BN celebration of the 31st August National Day has become something
of a mediocre, wasteful, and meaningless effort, without zeal and
substance, without the real feeling of patriotism at all. The annual
procession is just for show as the number of people flying the Jalur
Gemilang keeps dwindling year after year till the number of road
vehicles flying the national flag can even be counted on our fingers.
The national day celebrations are only being looked forward to by the
Mat Rempits and the like, including their bohsias.
UMNO and Malaysia under Tunku Abdul Rahman: Going Nowhere
Malaysia under Tunku
was not really independent, it had to depend on the British and they
were more than willing to maintain their support, mainly due to economic
reasons. The British had invested so much in Malaya in plantation,
mining, banking, media and education. Furthermore, Malaya was one of the
growing markets for everything English.
After gaining
independence, the Tunku was not able to really achieve anything more
substantial. He was not even able to defeat the ragtag Communists, and
Malaysia was still backward in every sense of the word. The young
democracy and new nation was just at its infancy and without any
coherent policy, objectives, vision and actions although there were some
sort of localized economic activities in the towns, and racial harmony
in the kampongs.
With the Communists
still active not only in the jungles but also in the urban areas and
their ideology spreading in the University of Malaya, real peace and
unity as a nation were not attained during his reign. Even Singapore was
separated from Malaysia. The economy was not doing well since Malaysia
was more on a commodity-based economy, and at the mercy of the British
who controlled prices and the trade itself.
At this stage of the
nation building, Malaysians had nothing to celebrate or cheer about.
There was nothing to hold on to, nor was there a sense of belonging. Not
only were the business, finance and money still under the British, the
Supreme Court was also in Britain. Nothing substantial belonged to
Malaysia. The Malays in particular had nothing except for the small
plots of land in the kampongs and the Malay rulers to be proud of. Tunku
did not have any real plans for the Malays despite UMNO being so-called
the United Malays National Organization..
Racism during Tunku’s period
The Tunku fell into
the trap set by the British when the racial based Alliance was formed.
He had not done enough to set any solid foundation for the country and
he realized too late how fragile the racial harmony was when after the
1969 general election. The Gerakan and DAP had celebrated their wins
with a victory parade in KL on 12th May 1969. Then UMNO led a counter
march the next day, and this is when the racial riot known as the
infamous May 13 racial riots erupted. May 13 also led to Abdul Razak
Hussein taking over the nation's leadership.
But was it really a
racial riot? Were both the Gerakan and DAP really so insensitive to the
political situation that they organized the march and failed to control
their members? The Alliance managed to win 77 out of 140 seats in
Parliament; UMNO still held power. Furthermore it was very interesting
to note that Malay opposition parties saw a sharp increase in votes in
the peninsula, rising drastically from about 15% in 1964 to 25% in 1969.
UMNO did not have the full support of the Malays and apparently the
Malays did not agree fully with UMNO even then!
UMNO under Razak: His inaction led to the next stage of failure
Razak, the father of
current Prime Minister Najib Razak, was quite thoughtful and managed to
bring about some changes. He started the process of nation building by
introducing the word “pembangunan” which is development. For this, he
was eventually bestowed the title of “Bapa Pembangunan”. After the
infamous May 13 racial riot, he introduced the New Economic Policy (NEP)
which had good and noble intentions although it was miserably abused to
the core in later years.
The NEP was meant to
re-engineer the wealth of the society, encompassing education, business
opportunities, employment and preferences to eradicate poverty amongst
the entire population and across all racial boundaries. But UMNO leaders
took advantage of this policy to fatten their coffers leaving both the
Malays and other poor Malaysians to continue being deprived of all that
were intended for them. We can clearly see and understand the situation
now.
Razak also empowered
FELDA (which was formed by the British in 1956 for their own reasons) to
aggressively embark on opening new land schemes and making Malays do
something to upgrade and improve themselves. The FELDA story is still
unfolding now.
As the Malays were
earning some extra income, Tabung Haji ( the brainchild of Professor
Ungku Aziz) was formed to inculcate the habit of savings for the rainy
days and to help save enough money to perform the haj. Sad to say, as
has been reported, Tabung Haji was not safe from the dirty hands either.
The siphoning of money
that we see now, the unscrupulous civil servants and their abuse of
power and unchecked corruption also started during Razak’s premiership.
He was not able to closely monitor all the things that he had
implemented.
One glaring example is
the construction of the wooden houses for the FELDA settlers. But
instead of houses, the settlers got what were basically just pieces of
sawn wood nailed together with some sort of roofing to protect the
inhabitants from the elements of nature. Yes, the 'house' was just a
shed. These houses can still be seen in the FELDA settlements as a
testimony to the plundering of the allocations by unscrupulous groups of
people.
This was the beginning
of the money-making schemes, and those in UMNO saw the doors opening to
all the golden opportunities that had never existed for them before.
The government officials too found the opportunity and took what they
could and as much as they could.
When RISDA was formed
to help the rubber small holders, they were provided with free
fertilizers, weed poison and other incentives like the money to keep the
rubber plantation clear of all other plants, shrubs and small trees.
This was to ensure improved rubber production, easy maintenance, safety
and prevent the rubber plantation to be any form of hideouts for vermin,
wild animals and the communists.
While they were
supposed to be given the items free of charge, the officials still
demanded money from the small holders and a substantial amount of the
fertilizers and poisons went into the wrong hands and were eventually
sold to the hardware shops to be re-sold to others. The money-making
schemes were carried out openly to the extent the RISDA emblem on the
sacks could be clearly seen. Yet, the authorities did nothing to stop
the corruption.
Almost all the
projects awarded to the UMNO-putras during this period was executed as
Ali Baba schemes leaving the UMNOputras with just 5 percent of the
profit which was too little. Since they were not real businessmen, they
spent extravagantly within a few months finished all their gains. Thus
more projects had to be given out to fulfill their lust. The Ali Baba
business trend began here.
It was the same with
other government projects and procurements. The instant noodles supplied
as army ration were paid by the Ministry of Defense at RM0.65 per
packet while the market price was just RM0.25 each.
The police and the
army were also in a world of their own with free cigarettes, cheap
alcohol, partying in their messes. They were oblivious to their
surroundings. The police were so callous in their duties that the IGP
was shot dead point blank by two assailants on a motorbike when his car
halted at a congested road on his way to the office.
The inefficient civil
servants were preoccupied with so many tasks in their offices. Hospitals
and medical staff were few in numbers, and the school teachers were the
most respectable group of people in society then. But unfortunately not
anymore now.
The Biro Siasatan
Negara (National Bureau of Investigation) was operational but they did
nothing. At this stage, the UMNO government ignored all the warning
signs of blatant corruption, misuse of funds and pilferage. As such, the
next stage of failure was inevitable and more so under Hussein Onn, who
was Razak's brother in law.
First huge scandal under Tun Hussein Onn
Hussein Onn was like
Abdullah Badawi. He was not able to fit into Razak’s shoes. Hussein Onn
left the country on auto-pilot. Thus, more corruption and wrongdoing
spread all over the country including to Sabah and Sarawak which had
huge amounts of natural resources especially timber.
Sandakan in Sabah once
held the world record of the highest numbers of millionaires (from the
greedy rampage and corruption of the timber industry) per square mile.
Sabah is now without a virgin forest except at the national reserve.
This too will not be spared for long and Sabahans still remain poor
today.
The first huge scandal
for UMNO which was the RM2.5 billion losses by Bank Bumiputera Malaysia
Bhd, which began in 1976 with its wholly owned Bumiputera Malaysia
Finance (BMF) lending money to property developer Carrian Group in Hong
Kong. The mess unfolded in1983 kicked off the Umno plundering tradition
on a huge scale.
You see, no one was
punished for the crime. UMNO leaders condoned such debacle creating a
precedent that when one is a strong UMNO man and with proper connection,
one can get away scot-free. The bailout tradition too began from this
point on.
Since Malaysia was on auto-pilot, the ordinary citizens had to survive on their own.
Mahathir: All forms of failure and a sad lack of vision
This was a very
interesting period for UMNO. There were failures galore - all and every
form of failure that could happen did happen. There was systematic
failure at all levels of government to understand the magnitude of the
situation, from stripping the Malay rulers of their powers, using the
full force of the ISA on the opposition, breaking up UMNO, looting the
nation’s funds, antagonizing the West, full-scale bailouts of cronies,
destroying the integrity of the police and judiciary to being a
dictator. Obviously, this resulted in resentment throughout the entire
society leading to the formation of Pakatan Rakyat.
Mahathir was the one
who broke the national piggy bank, blazing the trail to unmitigated
government borrowings. He failed to provide enough funds for rainy days.
Many of his supporters boasted that he was famous for his vision, but
time has proven that Mahathir in fact lacked it. He lacked vision simply
because he was not able to see beyond himself.
Mahathir failed to
understand the inherent economic cycle and be prepared for eventual
downturns. He knew Lee Kuan Yew had special funds to be used under the
power of the President. But Mahathir siphoned out the only real funds we
had in Petronas, thus even the once rich Petronas has to borrow money
now.
The police under
Mahathir was for most of the time working for him and not much for the
rakyat. The police was used to defeat the opposition, harass
individuals, put people in jail using the ISA and determining the most
suitable time for a general election. Crime was high since the PDRM was
preoccupied with UMNO and Mahathir. Lawyers were know to be unscrupulous
but it was during his time that the judiciary system was turned into
shambles and judges could be openly bought, thus ending the integrity of
the entire law and order of the country.
Mahathir also failed
to uphold the monarchy by stripping the Malay rulers of their powers.
The Malays have lost their last bastion of pride and for the rest of the
Malaysians the last bastion of justice, as can be seen in the awkward
position of the Sultan of Perak being manipulated by UMNO in the Perak
power grab of 2009. The Perak Sultan sanctioned UMNO's coup d'etat,
while the Agong only had enough power to acknowledge BERSIH as
legitimate, while the Sultan of Selangor had to play safe in the JAIS
-DUMC case with UMNO breathing down his neck.
Mahathir in his
endeavour to make Malaysia a developed nation by 2020, failed to
safeguard the nation from being plundered by refusing to prevent and
take action against corrupt people. This could be because he was himself
a cohort in some, if not most of the fiascos. The Tajuddin Ramli-MAS
scandal is an example and a living testimony to the failures of the
Mahathir-era, while the RM12.5bil PKFZ scandal is still unfolding.
Mahathir also failed
to see the inept capability of Badawi and the hopeless Najib who both
have no real ability of their own. Nonetheless, one cannot turn back
time or erase the systematic failures Mahathir caused. In any case, he
was ready to pass the baton to Abdullah Badawi by 2003.
Badawi sleeping away
Badawi was not able to
fit in the shoes of Dr. Mahathir. He tried to undo several of
questionable projects started by Mahathir. But even this, he fumbled and
bungled.
Badawi tried to create
some economic corridors, have some fancy slogans like working together
with him and Islam Hadhari, which he himself found difficult to explain.
Till now, the questions ring: what are the corridors, the slogans and
Islam Hadhari really all labout?
The economy became
stagnant and to spur development Malaysia had to borrow more money. He
was able to create some sense of economic activities but just for the
elections.
Fortunately for him
but unfortunately for the rakyat, he had the fourth floor goons headed
by his beloved son-in-law, Khairy Jamaludin who made things worse.
Our nation was in
jeopardy because it was being managed by a twenty-something de-facto
prime minister. Although Khairy was an Oxford graduate, he was not savvy
enough to run a country much to the disgust of Mahathir. Both the
nation and UMNO are now in disarray. A classic example of a Khairy deal
gone awry is the failure of the Shahrizat-linked Gemas NFC debacle.
Badawi did form the MACC but for what? They are just the same people from the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) in different uniform.
Free for all, grab what you can now under Najib
Najib is long on ideas
but short on action, thus has no results to show. Basically, this is
due to his ideas being copycats of other systems, such as the Pakatan's
Buku Jingga or economic blueprint.
Najib’s vanity
But first of all since
he was not elected to his post and his image was tarnished by the
useless and unsinkable Scorpene submarines that also led to the murder
of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaaribuu. Possibly influenced by his
mischievous wife, Najib decided first and foremost to restore his image.
He engaged APCO and
FBC Media for a full scale image makeover, spending at least RM55
million of tax-payers’ money for expensive propaganda to glorify
himself, his government and his policies and having it screened on
international channels like CNN, CNBC and BBC. This is utter stupidity
of the highest level and Najib has failed miserably.
To repair the damage
to his image, Najib should have rectified the mistakes and not try to
whitewash them and incurring further blunders in the process. There is
really no point in putting on thick make up during the day when everyone
can see the thick layer of 'paint and powder'.
Transformation programs that go nowhere
Then Najib went on to
try to transform several major things but he failed to see what the
causes were that led to past failures. All the sounds and bombast of his
Economic Transformation Program may have seem rather impressive to the
layman, but what are the results so far? Unfortunately we have not been
able to feel good about anything that Najib and his ETP people have
announced.
His main showpieces
are the six National Key Results Areas (NKRA), twelve National Key
Economic Areas (NKEA) - all part of his Economic Transformation Program.
On 23rd November, Bernama reported that Najib underlined six high
impact programs to boost the growth of the Small and Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) to 8.7 by 2020 but, what about now or next year?
The economic policies
that the UMNO-BN government under Najib have been undertaken but show no
improvement in the economy. Thus, until now, it has been 'nothing for
nothing Najibnomics'.
As for Najib’s
Political Transformation Program, it has proven to be a farce - heavy on
proclamations and full of doublespeak as in the recent Peaceful
Assembly Bill, which actually restricts our freedom and not grant
greater democratic space as he had promised.
Old habits die hard
Even at this very
critical juncture, in the last lap to the “Mother of all Elections”,
UMNO still continues to award contracts without following the proper
procedures. At present there are several projects under the various
ministries that have been allocated to their cronies and when the time
comes, by hook or by crook, these projects will come to light whether
UMNO-BN wins the GE-13 or not. So too will all the money-making schemes
planned with guarded secrecy, the PKFZ scandal, the Scorpene scandal and
the Gemas NFC debacle.
The Najib government
has also told the rakyat that it will not be involved in financing the
mega-projects he has announced; they are mostly under the Private
Financing Initiatives (PFI), he assures. But we were not told that the
Umno cronies will have to borrow from the banks and none of the clear
minded private banks would ever lend them any money.
The private banks know
that these projects are just money-making schemes without any guarantee
of success and will eventually need bailouts. Thus all the burden of
financing has been given to Bank Pembangunan, the government bank, with
money from the government. Still the money will be taken from our
already depleting EPF and Tabung Haji or borrowed somewhere and bringing
Malaysia closer to becoming another Greece.
Chaos at the ministries
The Ministry of
Defense has set the plan moving for the purchase of new fighter planes
from Russia as reported in a defense magazine but Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
denied this recently. The ministry will also continue with the building
of the exorbitantly expensive naval ships and boats.
The Ministry of
Education has embarked on building several campuses in Perlis and Pahang
and even the HUKM pediatric hospital in KL and being awarded to their
cronies.
The Ministry of
Transport has already approved the KVMRT project, the Integrated
Transport Terminal in Subang Jaya with another going to be in Gombak and
in Melaka and as we all know Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd has a free
hand to impose any charges on passengers and complete the KLIA2 tour at
whatever cost.
The Ministry of
Agriculture will eventually bail out the failed Gemas NFC project and
the wasteful rice bowl “National Rice Bowl” project in Sarawak will get
more money - some to be reinvested and the rest pocketed.
The Ministry of
Finance will continue paying the PKFZ thieves and continue dumping more
money into MAS despite the purported win-win share swap with AirAsia as
MAS has already announced RM400 in losses recently. Petronas has been
set to bail out TNB by absorbing the gas cost.
The Ministry of
Tourism too have their money-making schemes through various
advertisement projects, while the Ministry of Information uses FINAS
through the loans and grants issued for movie productions and the misuse
of FINAS assets for some influential individuals.
The other ministries too have their problems and these could be revealed later.
Enough is enough
Najib has turned
Malaysia backwards by not trying to reject the wrong doings of UMNO-BN.
Where his father was too busy, Najib's problem may be because he has his
own scandals; thus a change of government is the only true means of
saving this country. The recent UMNO AGM showed the country the party's
true colors; its racists/fascist bent and the fact that it had no real
agenda for the country.
So after tracking
through the 6 prime ministers, all of whom came from UMNO, it is clear
the party is the cause, the main ingredient, the catalyst and the main
element of all the failures that have befallen the nation.
We have had enough and enough is enough!
Now we Malaysian have to VOTE UMNO/BN out in the coming General Election 13!!
Please forward after reading it... thanks
The
Election Commission has already announced its intention to hold federal
and state elections on the same day. Apparently, the first state
assembly that met was in Negri Sembilan on March 26, 2008. The Negri
Sembilan constitution has a similar 60-day provision (see Article 56(4)
of the second part of the state constitution).
Our
five previous prime ministers have timed the polling date in order to
take electoral advantage. Hussein Onn, Dr Mahathir Mohamed and Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi even called for a general election before four years - that
is, by three years 10 months, three years nine months and three years
11 months respectively.
So
why has Najib Abdul Razak not utilised the privilege attached to his
office by advising the Agong to dissolve Parliament before the expiry of
his term, to be followed by GE13? Only one answer can be inferred: BN
is running scared of defeat. 
It
is an interim government, not intended to govern permanently. It can
occur in varied and infinite circumstances. Even past BN governments
publicly concede that after Parliament is dissolved and before the
national polls, they are a caretaker government. 
Finally, a caretaker government certainly cannot give away monies like the BR1M payments from taxpayers’ fund.
