Umno Baru in Denial & Confusion with more Spins?

===========================

Kuli, in an interview with The Star:-
"The Umno that was founded in 1946 by Datuk Onn Jaafar and the freedom fighters in 1946 was declared unlawful by the High Court in 1988. That gave birth to Umno Baru, which is there today and will celebrate its 20th anniversary."
(Then are all those guys celebrating 62 yrs all retards or what?)

"....... the party need not reengineer or reinvent itself, he said it was the excesses and arrogance of the leaders which caused anger and disgust .........."
"...........The Malays only know Umno and its allies. I cannot imagine how the Malays will behave or react without Umno........."
"Except, of late, you see excesses; you see abuses by Umno leaders who were also getting very arrogant."
"But I think it is a different thing here, in this country. Like most people say, here it’s the politics of race."
(Pssst ... can we start the Nazi party as well?)

"Some people said I should not have disbanded my old party Semangat 46 under Gagasan Rakyat, which I think would have done much better than PKR or whatever."
"So you see, if Umno wants to come back, I don’t think it needs to re-invent itself."
(Sorry Kuli, I don't see ... btw, wtf are you saying? I thought you said otherwise earlier! Even Tok Mat says otherwise!)

"People look at Umno as being “very racial” now, whereas it has never been racial from day one."
(Yeah Rrrright!)

"Actually, it is a fallacious way of looking at the term because the concept of ketuanan Melayu is more historical than anything else." "But I have not seen the leaders of Umno, all the prime ministers from the time of Tunku right down to (Datuk Seri) Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, trying to show that they are dominant or domineering over the rest. Have you seen it?"
(WTF - You need glasses or what Kuli?
UMNO is dead if not for pure unadulterated racism!)

Q: .... has the concept of ketuanan Melayu become outdated?
A: I think so. But in effect, it isn’t true.
(Once again Kuli, WTF are you talking about! You had some Ketum Juice or something?)

UCCA should be repealed. The OSA must be reviewed. Some features are important but not the draconian measures. The Printing Presses and Publications Act has no place. It has to go. The Police Act should also be re-looked. As for the ISA, it must be re-looked. I don’t think we can do away with that, I must say honestly, because even democratic countries like the US have laws with the same features that we have in the ISA.
(Okay lah, at least you got some sense on this - but of course you need to add a little of your double talk, huh?)

The whole lot of them have been jumping here, there and everywhere. I’m not saying that they don’t have principles or they have a stand on certain given ideals........
(Sabah - maybe he's a masochist & would like you to kick his butt ......)

Because of the racial politics here, we are closer to the party struggle than those in Sabah.
(Yes Kuli,- now you're talking .... racism is indeed close to your heart, huh)

They were brought in to help in order to help Dr Mahathir then to make sure they could thwart me and Semangat 46 in the number of seats in Parliament.
(Don't worry, Kuli - you can whack him now ....)


Behind the flag-raising, the honour guard, the prayers and the speeches at the party headquarters, Umno members are either dispirited, disconsolate, demoralised or in denial after the shocking results of Election 2008.
So Umno crises happen every 20 years or so. And ironically thus far, all have involved Dr Mahathir.
In fact, some leaders have become too powerful, assuming powers that they don't even have under the party constitution and running roughshod over the grassroots. Umno's power is from the grassroots and we have to reform to be relevant for them and the people.

Abdullah also said in the past 62 years Umno had gone through many ups and downs.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- This year's Umno anniversary celebration carries more meaning because it reflects that the party remains relevant, deputy president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
"We believe Umno will be able to continue with its excellent struggle as a an important instrument for the future of the Malays, the other races as well as the country," he told reporters after the 62nd anniversary celebration of the party at the Putra World Trade Centre, here today.
