Negri Sembilan Umno today passed a no contest resolution for the post of president and deputy president at the party’s elections later this year.
Its chairman, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, said the resolution was necessary to strengthen Umno in preparation for the 14th general election (GE-14).
A prime minister who is directly or indirectly involved in murder, corruption and abuse of powwer is still standing and talking like nothing much happened. now the biggest electral fraud …. this government has no credibility, it should go. all thesehas deeply seated in rakyat minds. the ralkyat will not accept this government what ever you they do.( 51% dont support the government.)
You can always masturbate. Another woman is simply not an appropriate immediate response.
Relationships are such complex spaces. I wish it were as easy as the learning the alphabet, but perhaps we can alphabetise it to illustrate some essential ingredients to making a fabulous relationship.
“It is better that the two posts are not contested to avoid a split in Umno. We want Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as president and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as deputy president as we need a strong team to face GE14,” he told reporters after chairing Negri Sembilan Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) meeting here today.
Mohamad, who is also the mentri besar of Negri Sembilan said the resolution was among three resolutions passed at the meeting.
The other two were giving full support to Najib as prime minister, Umno president and BN chairman and rejecting a proposal to dissolve BN componernt parties and form a new party.
“We disagree with the proposal because we are not yet ready to dissolve Umno which fought for independence and developed the country.
“It’s alright for BN to have component parties. The most important thing is that the parties strive to improve and strengthen themselves.”
Mohamad also said Negri Sembilan BN will not file any petition in relation to GE-13. — Bernama
THE ONLY MALAY LEADER MUHYIDDIN YASSIN WHO WILL HELP TO REDISCOVER THE HOPE OF MALAYS
If you cannot Change so you must be changed
The letter written byMuhyiddin to Najib . What was there in the letter that will take such a drastic step of not nominating Najib as the next UMNO PresidentDoes it mean that there is zero tolerance in the party for “viewpoint plurality” (rather than for corruption)? Can the party simply not discuss its internal problems, and handle charges against its president leadership without exerting authoritarian measures? The answer is that the contents Muhyiddin ’s letter are indeed damning; and shows Najib and Rosmah in poor light. While the letter is damning enough, it also begs me to ask another question: Who is behind the leak of this internal letter? Is itFT MINISTERTENGKU ADNAN MANSOR TOLD NAJIB THAT WINNING THE UMNO POLLS AND FENDING OFF ANY CHALLENGE TO HIS POSITION ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN REFORMS Stone-age politics holds back 21st century Malaysia economy It is once again open season on PM Najib. He presides over the most corrupt BN government has seen, his inertia has infected policy with paralysis, he has no authority except to twitch as desired by puppeteer Tengku Adnan Mansor, he loves power too much to just …Read more
considering how much he benefits if Adnan Mansor, Hishamuddin are cut to size? There is more than a small reason to believe this theory.
“Since you talk so much about corruption, can I ask you as to where did the money come from for toppling Adullah Ahmad Badawithat brought you to power; Why were you silent when all this was happening without hindrance?”. Good questions indeed. Of course Adnan Mansor knew there was illegal money funding his party’s election in . What is Operation Adnan Mansor? How did this operation enable you buy over a majority delegates fo rthis ? Did you buy out the delegates vote, and their leaders?
Is this the beginning of the end for Najib? Former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad already started the ball rolling when he said Najib will probably stay on as there are no suitable candidates who can replace him.
Knowing how cunning Dr M is, I am sure he did not mean what he said. Now Zam and former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, both close associates of Dr M, are criticising Najib, calling him a clown. Where is the respect for our PM?
If I can remember correctly, a young student was threatened with the Sedition Act for stepping on the PM’s poster. It looks like there is a big battle ahead for Najib.
The think-tank noted that Malaysia has so far managed to dodge the harmful effects of corruption on the investment climate to remain one of Asia’s most vibrant economies.
But it said that Malaysians had shown they were more politically aware, judging from the increased social media coverage of the polls, and were no longer willing to tolerate corruption.
The results of the recently-concluded general election saw the BN retain power by a simple majority although it lost the popular vote to a resurgent opposition.
BN won 133 seats in the 222-member Parliament against the opposition Pakatan Rakyat’s 89 seats, drawing a weaker score than in Election 2008 and which the think-tank noted has put the 13-party ruling coalition in a precarious position unless it moves to reform the way it has conducted business by tackling corruption seriously.
The Baker Institute suggested that Malaysia’s anti-corruption agenda may be better served if BN could focus on reaping the results of a successful economy.
“To motivate itself to implement a major change towards clean behaviour, BN should focus on reaping the rewards of a successful economy.
“In order to facilitate long-term inclusive growth, the government should promote policies that will be applied fairly and transparently to all,” it said in its analysis headlined “Malaysia: Looking forward” carried yesterday.
The think-tank noted that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has made the first step by pulling back some affirmative action policies favouring Bumiputeras who form over half the population and which other analysts believe to be at the root of Malaysian corruption.
“Removing race-based policies is the first step in bringing the country together. However, it is unlikely that Najib will completely abolish these policies, as he still needs to appeal to his Malay supporters, which make up the base of BN,” the Rice University said.
It added that the PM needs to follow through on his electoral promises by detailing the steps for his administration to move forward and to enforce them, suggesting the government install “a more transparent, meritocratic system for selecting project managers… to avoid appointment based on family or political ties.”
It also suggested that the government consider dismantle the current practice of political party ownership of selective media enterprises as a move in the direction of greater transparency, noting the imbalance in news coverage as parties attempt to exert their influence.
The Baker Institute also suggested that public institutions, namely the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and Public Complaints Bureau, also need to buck up reform, highlighting that “proper treatment of high profile cases could maximize the impact anti-corruption organizations have on the government.”
“While it remains to be seen whether the government will respond as hoped, its people are pushing for radical change.
“Malaysia needs leaders who are willing to take drastic measures to tackle corruption,” it said.
“Will it understand that pandering to special interests, money politics and crony capitalism are no longer a viable strategy? why are bribes bad? If bribes are bad, why is it perfectly legit to have brokers and middlemen? If you hire a broker to find a flat, why is it wrong to hire a broker There’s something seriously wrong with such an order itself. You cannot impose patriotism on people. It must come from within. There was a time when our hearts swelled with pride every time we saw the wave of our flagor heard the national anthem play. That pride has gone out of our lives today. What remains is but a gaping void and a shining rage. We are angry with everything around us. But, above all, we are angry with ourselves. How could we have allowed the rot to set in so deep? Why were we blind for so long? Why did we not protest before protest itself became an ineffective tool?
We have suddenly woken up to the nightmare of an incessantly we grew up in an era of certainties. We knew what was right, what was wrong. So even when we did wrong, often in defiance of authority, we believed we were in the right. There was no ambivalence, no doubt in our mind as to good and bad, moral and immoral. There was clarity about most things that mattered. This defined us as a generation. We knew what we stood for.
That certainty has chipped away over the years. We live today in an Age of Moral Ambivalence. There is a charming ambiguity over most things, and it’s this ambiguity that best reflects our moral dilemma. We are all civil society activists standing in the battlefield, a bit unsure, a bit confused, desperately seeking that certitude which eludes us. Faith cannot provide it as easily as it once did. Tradition lies tattered before the onslaught of modernity. The moral compass that once showed us the way is now defunct. Before us, lies the wilderness. Where our heroes are no longer heroes and villainy is infinitely more seductive. In such times, how easy can it be to know what’s right, what’s wrong?
This ambiguity has seeped into our public life. Do we hang a man when he is sentenced to death? We are at odds with the world if we do. State killing is abolished almost everywhere. If we choose instead to accept the Najib-Rosmah’s way that an eye for an eye make we Malaysian blind,
Yes, something has gone wrong with Malaysia and the rot begins with you and me.
If we are to fight the rot, we must stand up, each one of us, and try to reclaim our Malaysia. We must reclaim our Malaysian from the politicians. We must reclaim our Malaysia from those Najib’s crony businessmen who have brought it shame and disrepute. And yes, we must also reclaim our Malaysia from the media. We must reclaim it from the prophets of doom who constantly declaim that our dreams are dead. We must rediscover hope. We must find our dreams again. We must look in every nook and cranny where beauty, talent, faith and hope lie. We must reclaim our imagination. We must challenge ourselves to rise above the faithlessness around us and seek that courage which we have ignored while drooling over instant success.
Life is not Maggie noodles. There are no quick fixes to the problems around us. But there are ways to rise above them and, hopefully, beat them. Those ways do not lie in blind outrage. They lie in our capacity to rise above our disappointments, our rage and seek real solutions. How do we do it? It’s easy. The first step is: Do not keep quiet. Do not tolerate injustice. Do not look away when you see people doing wrong. Seek the courage within yourself to stand up to it. That’s the first step towards feeling proud as Malaysian. Be unafraid.
The next important step derives from this. Reclaim your freedoms. Over recent years, we have steadily lost them. To a Government trying to nervously cover its tracks after every scam. To the new home minister terrorising us. To crackpots and vandals. To moral brigades who want to dictate to us what we can say, read, watch, listen to, wear, eat and drink. To has lost its moral compass. To pressure groups that want to keep us in the 18th century by proudly endorsing caste crimes and honour killings. To a media that often loses its courage and caves in. It’s time we stood up and reclaimed our freedoms. For only a free nation is a strong one.Remember, every time someone is arrested for a cartoon or a tweet or a Facebook post, a book or a song or a blog or a painting, every time a scene is cut out from a film because it can hurt someone’s feelings, a part of us dies. For India is the sum total of all that we believe in, however conflicting our views may be.
