In my posting three days ago I
mentioned that Umno is no more a protector of the Malays and Malaysians as it
does nothing other than to ruin the nation to this inconceivable state. Umno
had cultivated serious damage to the nation’s political and governmental and
human value. Umno has damaged the total rule of law and decadence of all
democratic systems that our fore fathers had built.
We used to be the nearest to the
level of the first world mentality during the first three PMs but the
inheritors after those three PMs were not able to sustain the good governance
that the Tunku, Razak and Hussein built and maintained. We have digressed
wayward and seems not being able to arrest the situation with the crop of
mandated leaders that we have at the moment.
After Tunku, Razak and Hussein
era, were no more politics but pure politicking and personal politics that
slowly but steadily brings our politics to this current ludicrous and
preposterous state. The corrupt culture is now the biggest disorder; however
this is just a fractious of the bigger disastrous malady that the nation is
facing. Now we have leaders who schmooze and dissertate on issues on moral,
religions and governance but sadly none of those who talk about those issues understand
the issues they joyously raise. All leaders
from all sides of the multiple divides talking to each other with different
languages that results in deeper misunderstand among them by the day.
Those warring sides have missed
all their points as they don’t understand what the real problems facing the
nation including those who talk about transformations and reformations they
shout about. Rightly or wrongly, nothing can be solved unless one understands
what the real problems are up to specific. How are we trying to solve problems
if we do not understand what the problems are?
If we try to choose and pick
among those law makers who are now enjoying the executive positions in the
ministries and government we are going to be disappointed as they are the ones
responsible and the agents for the current state of devastating politics. They
were the ones who break everything to ashes and it’s suicidal in asking them to
fix everything back.
I have lavishly said repeatedly
that UMNO and its undeserving leaders are the ones that break all good systems
and we can give them the responsibility to fix it back if we have intentions to
make things go worse. I am conclusive
with the perception that alternating Najib with among those in the current Law
Makers in the ministries is as good as no change as no body among them can get
to show the difference.
What make the country turned into
corrupt heaven? There is a simple answer i.e. nobody is overseeing that heinous
and nauseating acts of corruption in every ministry and department.. The Ministers and the law makers who are in
the Ministries who were supposed to oversee that all policies are implemented
appropriately by the implementer were not exercising their duties honorably
but instead conspire with the implementer to practice corruptions and power
abuse.
To the Umno leader’s corrupt practices
are already deeply ingrained in them and they take that every project that the government
decides the personal interest of the Law Makers and the civil servants will
automatically be attested to the projects and usually the project will be given
out at inflated prices as kick-backs and commissions for the corrupt decision
makers as well as the law makers were factored together in huge percentages
that turn every project especially in the infrastructure related projects to
inflate copiously.
These systematic corrupt
practices were done via direct negotiated tenders and it was very easy to
factor in the interests of the corrupt individuals involved in projects. In short
all leaders since the mid-eighties the Umno-led government has been forsaking
the economic and social engineering policies purely to demonstrate fast
physical development as an indicator of leadership successes. We wanted to have
the highest building in the world, the longest bridges and the tallest flag-post
in the entire world. The media was at one time even taken to pride that we had
the biggest ‘gong’ located in Angkasapuri compound.
I remember vividly the then
Deputy Prime Minister Tun Dr Ismail said it clearly at the Umno General
Assembly a year before he died that “we could have double-digit growth but we
choose to slower down the development in order to see that no race(s) would be
left behind in the fast development of the country. We want no one to be left out
in the development of the country”.
Tun Dr Ismail emphasized that if
there were any race being left out economically the country would be unstable
and the May 1969 incidence was the real proof that equitable distribution of
wealth and opportunities were very vital in achieving the national unity.
Where have been those values gone
to? Now the country is not just a corrupt country but the country is looted by
the elites in Umno to the extent that were are rated to be the most corrupt
nation in the world.The country has been entirely vandalized to ashes by the ruling elites without guilt and qualms.
(Let’s continue in the next
posting)
UMNO not only often shift their goal post but now no more goal post. I really do not know where they want to bring us to.
