Why Umno is in desperation? This surely indicates that Umno is only strong among its members but not amongst the general public/voters. Who says Umno will win?

Desperate people do desperate things. These are the people who are supposedly in charge of the country. UMNO wins and the country looses.... big time. People will wake up sooner or later. When they do, I don't want to anywhere near UMNO. It's going to be a very angry mob.

PAS must chop off those 'leaders' who turn off the non-Malays by their rhetoric nonsense.
PAS cannot win so many parlimentary and state seats unless it gets the 'kafir' supporters on its side. This IS A FACT. Religion aside, show some gratitude, like what MB Nizar did.
He publicly acknowledged the fact. So his supporters' base is HUGE!

It's time PAS recognises & acknowledges that without non-Malays' support, it can never have a chance of being in the ruling federal govt.

For the next GE, rakyat must be educated to look at the big picture. Don't be swayed by promises of development (rapement), sweet talk, clean longkang, new bridges, new streetlights. People must realise, providing all the infrastructure is the job the govt is paid to do. It is their fcuking job to take care of you, YOU OWE THE GOVT NOTHING.

I have studied Umno Baru's psychological profile very closely since 1986 when Mahathir retained his post against Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's challenge by a mere 43 votes (allegedly by buying over Umno divisison chiefs at the last minute). This resulted in Umno being declared illegal by Justice Harun Hashim in February 1988 whereupon the Master Manipulator ordered the Registrar of Societies to sit on an application by Tunku Abdul Rahman and Musa Hitam to form a new party - Umno Malaysia - whilst fast-tracking the formation of Umno Baru and quietly transferring all cash assets to the new account. Since then, immorality and ruthless cunning have stamped every action by Mahathir's Umno Baru (which wasted no time dropping the "Baru" and pretending it was the same old Umno of 1946). Naturally, Mahathir's Umno Baru attracted more and more money-grubbing opportunists in the form of contractors looking for no-bid tenders and within a decade, the contractor class had displaced the original Umno stalwarts (mostly intellectuals, teachers and professionals with nationalist inclinations). Along with the collapse of ethics in Umno Baru came a crass vision of materialistic growth with absolutely no consideration for humanistic or spiritual values. This, of course, results in the spread of mediocrity, hypocrisy and even more corruption. We have only Dr M to thank for overseeing the rapid decline of Umno as a relevant political force in Malaysia. We also have Dr M to thank for creating the greatest nemesis he would ever have - Anwar Ibrahim. If Mahathir had been gentler and more compassionate when dealing with Anwar's rebellion, he might well have been eventually lured back into Umno and there would have been no reformasi movemnent - and no Pakatan Rakyat!
