Dr Mahathir mengingatkan UMNO supaya berhati-hati dalam usaha muqabalahnya dengan PAS kerana yang mendapat nikmatnya adalah PAS sahaja dan tidak membawa apa-apa kebaikan kepada UMNO.
Di sebaliknya, UMNO akan diragui oleh rakan-rakan komponen dan akan sedikit sebanyak melemahkan lagi BN yang sudah sedia lemah ini.
Ramai cerdik pandai dan cendiakawan Melayu yakin dan ramai antara mereka menyertai terus PAS sebagai wadah perjuangan mereka dalam siasah.
Bagi saya, pandangan Dr Mahathir ini boleh diterima kerana PAS adalah parti yang sedang berkembang dan apa sahaja yang akan timbul hasil pertemuan itu akan lebih menampakkan kelemahan UMNO yang belum dilihat oleh orang ramai.
Saya telah pun menulis tentang hal muqabalah ini semalam dan saya telah berterus-terang agar UMNO mengadakan muqabalah antara pemimpinnya sendiri terlebih dahulu.
UMNO yang sedang tenat ini, tidak boleh mengambil keputusan dengan persetujuan Majlis Tertinggi semata-mata kerana ahli-ahli mempunyai keyakinan yang rendah terhadap pemimpin-pemimpin di dalam barisan Majlis Tertinggi itu.
Dalam isu seperti ini, ahli-ahli akar umbi wajib dirujuk dahulu kerana yang akan menghadapi masalah yang besar untuk menegakkan UMNO ini ialah ahli-ahli di peringkat akar umbi, bukannya pemimpin-pemimpin besar di atas itu.
Pemimpin besar UMNO perlu berhenti menganggap bahawa mereka boleh berbuat apa yang mereka suka semata-mata kerana sudah mendapatkan mandate melalui perwakilan daripada bahagian-bahagian.
Sikap buruk inilah yang telah beransur-ansur membuatkan parti lemah kerana mereka yang dipilih tidak jujur dan mengambil kesempatan berbuat perkara yang lain daripada apa yang dimandatkan oleh perwakilan.
Itulah sebabnya menjadi pemimpin besar dengan cara jual beli undi ini akhirnya menjahanamkan parti dan kerajaan kerana mereka naik kerana undi belian sebab tiada kepimpinan.
Bayangkanlah yang akan bertemu dengan pemimpin-pemimpin PAS ialah pemimpin UMNO yang tidak mendapat penghormatan ahli dan rakyat, dan apa sahaja yang dirundingkan oleh mereka tidak diyakini oleh orang ramai.
Oleh kerana Abdullah atau pun Najib tidak disukai ramai maka apa sahaja yang mereka kata tentang isu muqabalah ini menjadi bahan ketawa dan lawak di mana-mana.
Saya tidak nampak apa hasilnya daripada muqabalah ini selain daripada sandiwara politik semata-mata.
Sandiwara ini sebaliknya akan membawa perasaan tidak gemar parti-parti komponen BN yang akan membawa risiko perpecahan di kalangan parti-parti tersebut.
Akhirnya yang dikejar tak dapat yang dikendung jatuh berciciran.
Itulah sebabnya rakyat berleter supaya Abdullah dan Najib serta yang lain-lainnya diminta berhenti daripada jawatan masing-masing kerana mereka bukannya membawa kebaikan tetapi sebaliknya menyusahkan rakyat.
Kalau jadi pemimpin sekadar nak menyusahkan rakyat elok berhenti sahaja. Jangan biarkan rakyat menyumpah seranah kita…..dan jagalah maruah dan peribadi…jangan jadi tembok di tepi jalan….orang tak nak kita tapi masih nak duduk di atas itu.
Percayalah..sifat malu itu adalah separuh daripada iman. Malu orang yang beriman ialah malu kepada dirinya sendiri kerana hanya kita sendiri yang lebih tahu kebathilan yang ada pada kita.
Pemimpin yang ada sifat malu selalunya akan berasa segan dan silu untuk menerima rasuah, menyalahgunakan kuasa dan berbohong kepada rakyat yang dipimpinnya.
Hanya pemimpin yang lemah sahaja yang menggunakan tipu muslihat dan berbohong untuk mendapatkan sokongan.
Itulah contoh pemimpin yang kita ada pada hari ini.

UMNO sudah pandai ber'muqabalah'
Sekarang ini pemimpin UMNO sudah pandai bercakap fasal ‘muqabalah’ dan kadangkala saya geli hati mendengarnya.
Pemimpin besar kita sudah berjumpa dengan pemimpin PAS untuk ‘bermuqabalah’ sebanyak tiga kali untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi berhubung dengan perselisihan faham antara UMNO dan PAS.
Apabila kita adakan muqabalah, ia bermakna berjumpa untuk menyelesaikan isu-isu yang bertentangan antara dua belah pihak dengan mencari kemuafakatan agar kedua-dua pihak tidak berpecah.
Parti komponen BN akan diberikan taklimat tentang usaha UMNO untuk mengadakan muqabalah ini selepas mesyuarat Pengurusan UMNO pada 6hb Ogos ini untuk mengelakkan rasa curiga di kalangan parti komponen BN.
Saya hairan apakah tujuan Abdullah untuk bermuqabalah dengan PAS sedangkan yang perlu beliau adakan muqabalah itu ialah di kalangan pemimpin UMNO dan ahli-ahlinya sendiri.
Masalah di kalangan kita dalam UMNO jauh lebih besar daripada masalah antara UMNO dengan PAS. Kita sesama kita yang patut adakan muqabalah kerana kita yang berpecah-belah.
Saya tidak nampak ia akan berjaya kerana kedua-dua parti mempunyai pandangan yang berbeza antara satu sama lain.
Kita boleh membuat andaian bahawa tujuan Abdullah berjumpa dengan pemimpin-pemimpin PAS itu tidak ada motif lain selain daripada meminta PAS bersetuju untuk berkongsi kuasa dengan UMNO di beberapa buah negeri yang dikuasai oleh Pakatan Rakyat.
Kita mesti ingat PAS bukannya parti yang lisut seperti UMNO dan pemimpin-pemimpin mereka jauh lebih berdisiplin daripada pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO kita.
Saya ingin mengingatkan para pemimpin kita supaya lihat ke dalam dahulu. Kita sendiri berpecah-belah, bagaimana nak sebut muqabalah dengan PAS pula?
Sesungguhnya rakyat termasuk ahli-ahli UMNO sendiri sudah lama bermuqabalah.
Kehilangan 5 kerajan negeri kepada pembangkang itu adalah hasil daripada muqabalah antara rakyat yang tidak ada keyakinan terhadap kepimpinan Abdullah dan Najib.
Muqabalah ini masih lagi berlaku dan saya boleh berikan hasil muqabalah itu: Jika Abdullah dan Najib masih lagi berkuasa maka BN akan hilang kerajaan pusat selepas ini.
Muqabalah rakyat memang berterusan dan hasilnya akan kita lihat pada tengah malam semasa pilihanraya yang ke-13 akan datang.
Abdullah mesti sedar bahawa rakyat tidak ada keyakinan kepada kepimpinan beliau dan Najib.
Rakyat inginkan perubahan dan bukannya peralihan kuasa daripada Abdullah kepada Najib.
Bagi mereka Najib patut bersara bersama Abdullah.
Rakyat sudah pun melakukan muqabalah di mana-mana, di kedai kopi, di majlis perkahwinan, kenduri tahlil, di pejabat-pejabat dan di mana-mana pun.
Saya ulangi hasil daripada muqabalah rakyat ini ialah menolak Abdullah dan Najib dan ingin melihat UMNO ada perubahan besar-besaran untuk terus releven kepada negara.
Selagi Abdullah berada di tempatnya sekarang rakyat akan terus mengadakan muqabalah! Muqabalah dan muqabalah!...kerana negara berpecah-belah.

Security of the nation or personal security
Changing a new set of leadership is not an option for us. It is obligatory, as the peoples’ confidence in the present leadership is at its lowest ebb.
The problem we are facing now is beyond politics of UMNO or the BN. This is about the nation and we can’t risk our future by living in denial any further.
The confidence in the leadership is in total devastation and there is no way the current set of leaders can address the wreckage done by them.
We can’t bear to see these kinds of leaders still loitering around as their impoverished leadership that may even risk the security in this nation.
We have seen many great nations lost their sovereignty in oblivion because of weak leadership and subsequently mislaid their independence to dubious foreign elements and finally became the victim of Neo colonialism.
Abdullah and Najib should just surrender to the people and resign unconditionally with fullest understanding and accept accountability for the nasty experiences of the people and nation under their administration.
To relinquish all positions in the party and public offices is the only option available for Abdullah and Najib so as to allow their successors assume responsibility consolidating the nation from the current feverish political ambience.
This move is very fundamental as they are the ones who fail to administer the great nation, the worst history can record since her independence in 1957.
Abdullah and Najib can live without encumbrances in repentance and allow the people to choose their successors through pure democratic system that we claim to subscribe.
We are failing in all turfs. We fail to barricade inflation which now has gone up to 8.2% for the month of August and the figure is rising with high magnitude.
The people have sacrificed to the optimum for this weak government by tolerating uncharacteristic and sinful leaders.
Conversely, the government and their leaders want the people to sacrifice their lives in return for their bluffs and lies to the public.
Highway concessionaires, for instance, are still milking us without mercy as all their agreements with the government was kept away from public knowledge by the Official Secret Act (OSA).
These concessionaires have not shown any clue of wanting to share the burden of the people who have been milked by them by reducing their toll rates.
The whole economy has gone kaput, and without proper leadership can certainly drive the nation to unmitigated calamities.
With the advent of world economic recession, we are going to suffer immensely, as our economy has not been properly managed by stable leaders with good technocratic quality and wisdom in politics.
We are at the mercy of our own faulty choices all the while so much so the defective political culture has been accepted as a median in our political system.
It is too undignified to tolerate careless leaders like Najib who does not even know how to care for his own self to the extent the public were made to believe that his wife was involved in Altantuya murder case, the hottest issue gossiped at the market place.
We just cannot comprehend how he is going to manage the whole nation if he does not even succeeded in managing his own domestic affairs.
Abdullah’s failure in managing the nation coupled with Najib’s scandalous image warrants not only UMNO’s attention but the rest of the component parties and other institutions with constitutionally provided power and the people as a whole.
We are now talking about security of our nation and Malaysian as truly independent and well regarded by international community.
The dependability of repairing the damages now rests on everybody without exception.
Allow the move be led by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Let us have a bit of courage, and we shall not regret.
Let us all do it! ‘LET’S CHANGE!!’

Contest for Youth Head - Hotbeds for Corruption
UMNO youth wing is soon becoming the hotspot with the imminent contest for the top position with the departure of Hishamuddin Husein from the helm of the movement.
Meetings with the aspiring contenders or their agents are exciting, action-packed and enthralling.
Khairy Jamaluddin is obviously going to be at the fore front in securing nominations for the youth head because of his father-in-law/son-in-law relationship with the Prime Minister.
Some came to me claiming that the cash and notes have dripped down to the divisional youth heads and his agents and the fight for the youth head can be the hotbed for seriously corrupt money politics.
It’s so advantaged to be married to the Prime Minister’s daughter as it so smooth to get what we want to have.
I am too old to think of having another wife and to be married to the PM’s daughter, but even if I try to propose the PM does not have any other daughter than the one married to Khairy.
Even if he has another one to propose, it is very odd for me to have a father-in-law who is just fractionally older then me.
Khairy is good in investing for his future and the investment so far earns him good dividends and sharp rise in the ‘stock’ he holds.
Among the competitors for Khairy are Datuk Zahidi, Dato’ Mukhriz Mahathir and Dato’ Seri Mohd Khir Toyo who don’t have father-in-laws who were the Prime Minister of the country.
Other than Mukhriz, the other 2 come from an ordinary family who crafted their names in politic by themselves without resting their laurels through the names and status of their parents or their in-laws.
I am more tending to choose a youth leader who comes from an ordinary family as he is easy to be with and understands the problems and idiosyncrasies of the younger generations.
The biological sons of our great leaders has proven to be ineffective and contribute too tiny to the party as they were not used to going through rough life.
They tend to be relatively aloof and understand too little about what sufferings mean.
We can see living example of these kind of leaders:- Najib, Hishamuddin, Taufek Ismail and quite a number more who are all ineffectual and crash before taking off.
They were lifted to high positions because of the names and decorations of their fathers and had never had the actual feel of the people on the ground.
Hishamuddin has not performed well as the head of youth wings as he has not been able to appreciate the problems of the younger generation who face mountable tribulations in life especially so in time of economic recessions.
I trust Mukhriz is a potential failure if he becomes the successor to Hishamuddin.
We will be able to assess Mukhriz ability to lead once his father is no more living as he is seen just as the spokesman for his father.
Khir Toyo has to do a lot of refining job as he has a stigma of being a vulnerable MB for Selangor which I hate to elaborate.
As for Khairy, he does not even know what UMNO is all about as he was not even bred in this country. This boy became ‘well-known’ only after he ‘courted’ the PM’s daughter whom he finally wed.
I was convinced by many in Rembau that he has called for the committee meeting only once since he became the youth head for that division.
He would be accompanied by large group of big bikers and fleet of flashy cars and please agree with me that is too ‘unMalay’ to be fitted within UMNO.
This culture is definitely a new ethnicity which we generally called as ‘Mat Rempit’ cultural revolution.
So now we are left with Datuk Zahidi, who hails from tiny state of Perlis, a self-made and budding politician who is very casual in his interactions with friends and foes in politics.
He has brief experience in the government and long occurrence with UMNO politics and surely he is a very forgiving character for the old and the young.
I have strong basis to say that he is relatively the most reconciliatory candidate among the four aspirants that the youth should consider to lead the movement.
In a day or two I may have the time and space to write a bit of elaboration on this likeable man who has everything averaged down and lead relatively simple life.
