 What More do the Malays want?  They want nothing more of Najib and UMNO

I am asking the former judge who came out with a Hitler-like final solution to his problem to study the above table. Does he have Himmler, Hess and Goebbels and Joseph Mengele around with him? While he is at it, he might as well invite the Zul Nordin's and Ibrahim Ali's of this country.

The problem faced by UMNO is not a Malay problem. It is a problem for specific UMNO leaders- chiefly Najib for having failed to get more Malay support. Additional UMNO seats did not translate into more Malay votes. He is trying to hide his problem by blaming the Chinese. Why did he spend billions on 1Malaysia then? Was that agenda an excuse to pilfer the till?

What of the former judge? How did this person become a judge in the first place? There must be a flaw in the system of selecting judges. He must have been a beneficiary of the bad side of the NEP, that portion that promotes the mediocre and the riffraff over genuine and really talented Malays. He should be hauled up for sedition. Coincidentally, the bad portion of the NEP was the creation of UMNO.

Just look at the above figures. In Peninsula Malaysia, BN got 4.347 million votes compared to 5.624 million votes garnered by PR. That’s 45% compared to 53%. It is obvious PR won the popular votes. In simpler words to UMNO people, more people voted PR than UMNO/BN.

9.4 million Malaysian citizens voted in Peninsula on that day. From that figure, let us assume that 70% were Malays. The number of Malay voters in Peninsula was 6.58 million on that Sunday. BN got 4.347 million votes. Assuming out of that, 70% were Malay voters, UMNO candidates secured 3.0 million votes, an increase of 1 million from 2008. That is logical given the amount of money Najib bribed to get their votes. If UMNO got 3.0 million Malay votes, the number of Malays who didn’t vote UMNO was bigger- at 3.58 million!

What more do the Malays want? They want nothing more of Najib and his band of thieving politicians.

Take Perak for example. The state should receive condolences. PR clearly took in more votes than BN, yet BN is still the government. It has no moral basis to stay on as the state government and Zamri can’t crow about having support from the people. BN got 31 state seats to PR’s 28. Only 3 seats separate the legal victor from the moral winner.

But immoral UMNO doesn’t care two hoots about what citizens want. They care more about what they can get from having power. They care more about what Najib and Mahathir can give them.

The UMNO people are working overtime to validate Najib’s performance. He has failed. Sure, he added a number of seats to UMNO, by way of fraud and gerrymandering. But, he hasn’t increased Malay support for UMNO.

Since, more Malays rejected UMNO again this time, Utusan Malaysia should be asking, what more do the Malays want? Well, they want to kick out UMNO from Putrajaya with its damning policies. An economy driven by corruption, powered by patronage meant for cronies.

You think Malaysians are elated Najib announced another trillion Ringgit package? Because they already know how the game is played- 30% is for commissions for UMNO-proxied companies. In the meantime the pliant rural mass is kept fearful of a Chinese takeover of Malaysia.

Who is UMNO kidding? The civil service is 90% Malays, all the heads of departments are Malays, the Police is predominantly Malay, the military again Malays, the kings- I don’t see any with non-Malay names. So how do the Chinese take over Malaysia without creating a bloodbath?

Another thing- why does UMNO confer on itself the monopoly to speak on behalf of the Malays? It only commands less than 50% of the total number of Malay votes. UMNO is a shameless party. So for whom does UMNO speak, I ask once again?

For the Malay anarchists, the pseudo- feudal establishment who desire the good life by enslaving other people to work, the oligarchs, and the Malay type created by Mahathir with his scorched earth politics and his politics of vengeance.

What does Mukhriz have other than a famous surname? The Malays are once again duped into believing that talent and smartness are inherited. The hallmark of a backward society is that it operates along the lines of ascriptive norms like McCLelland says in The Achieving society. A person is promoted on account of his ascribed and inherited status- hence Mukhriz is deemed the best MB prospect because he is the son of Mahathir, Najib the best person to lead Malaysia because he is the son of Tun Razak.

Unfortunately, the only endorsement on Najib being the best person to lead comes from Pak Lah - himself a mediocre talent. He could be saying that just to seek revenge on Muhyidin for orchestrating his departure from office in 2009.

What more do the Malays want? They want nothing of Najib and UMNO. UMNO led government is a minority government. That is a fact.
