Wong Choon Mei, Harakah Daily
If Prime Minister Najib Razak believes that by engineering the latest round of political defections, he can emerge as a hero to his Umno party and salvage political ground with the Malays, then he is in for a surprise.
According to PAS vice president Mahfuz Omar, not only the majority of Umno members but also the Malay community could see through the desperation in his attempts to buy over members of Parliament from the Pakatan Rakyat coalition.
“What sort hero to the Malays can Najib be? We can only view his lack of morality and ethics with the greatest contempt,” Mahfuz told Harakahdaily.
"In the end, what has he done when his so-called legacy is to make Umno the tong sampah (rubbish bin) and tong najis (excrement bin) for the waste materials of the Pakatan Rakyat."
Tarnishing his own party and community
Earlier this week, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim's PKR party lost two federal lawmakers to the ruling Umno-BN coalition. Both men had quit PKR to become independent MPs, but friendly to Umno-BN so as to help it achieve its dubious plans.
There is red-hot speculation that Najib intends to lure at least 10 opposition MPs to the BN so that his coalition can muster the two-thirds majority needed to redraw constituency boundaries.
His aim from the gerrymandering exercise is to gain an illicit advantage over the Pakatan, rather than face his fate in a free and fair election.
“If Umno doesn 't mind being dragged down by his actions, that is its business. But Najib should not tarnish the honor of the Malay race with such dishonest behavior, which is against the principles of our religion," Mahfuz chided.
"Somehow, Najib doesn't seem to think Malaysians will mind. But he and his cohorts are making the fatal mistake of underestimating the intelligence of the rakyat (citizenry) and the fair-mindedness of the Malays in particular."
Malays must lead other races in fighting corruption
Nevertheless, there are already attempts in the top Umno echelon to hail Najib as a hero.
According to Umno vice preisdent Hishammuddin Hussein, who is also Najib's cousin and the Home Minister, their party could take heart from the latest cross-overs.
“This shows that it is not that easy to run a party or even a state. So to me, this is not only a sign, but it can also give a little spirit to us in Umno and Barisan,” Hishammuddin told reporters.
Meanwhile, top blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin has dropped a bombshell, stunning the country with revelations that Najib had given a lucrative Independent Power Plant contract to another cousin, Hamdan, so that they could finance the Pakatan crossovers and their family could cling to power at Umno.
According to Raja Petra, a budget of RM50 million was set aside for a targeted 10 defections. Calls from irate taxpayers are already building up nationwide for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate the allegations.
“It is time for the Malays - the biggest community in this country - to lead all other Malaysians in saying enough is enough. Our nation must never condone a leadership that depends on corruption and bribes to win elections or to buy votes,” said Mahfuz.
"Otherwise, we will be seen as a people that thrives on dishonesty and lies. Immorality, treachery and scandal will become the new hallmarks of our culture."

We should do our own " VOTER GET VOTERS" campaign by personalising our email signature. i.e sign off with this " VOTER GET VOTERS" campaign for a FREE & BETTER Malaysia ( auto generated) . This is what we all can do personally without much efforts. Another idea to raise political awareness is to ask PR via PKR,DAP,PAS to print T-shirts and car stickers with those words in their own respective languages and sell to us readers to spread awareness and raise funds for PR"

Whatever name you call him is irrelevant to him. He has lost all those morals and conscience that he could not care less as long as he remains in power and his fatso wife be addressed as 'First Lady" or 'Fat Lady"

Just like a creature devoid of form, where norm such as moral, code of ethics, fair-play, honesty and principles meant nothing to them. Power by any means is the only rule, to them, deceives, lies, threats and even murders are considered fair-play. After all those nonsense the people made to endure, it’s quite amazing that the people still harbour any form of expectation of gentlemanly conducts from UMNO.
What do you expect form a bunch of rats????

When youre name is so closely linked to the word like Sh*t, waste, excretion, feces, you generally tend to keep the company of similar quality.

For one good reason is to kick the PR team from Parliment and States Governing. Why this is happened becasue the caurse of POLITICS in Malaysia is to MAKE MONEY RM$$$ that is the bottom line. There is no more HONESTY in the leadership of BN. What left is Rubbish Talk and Rubbish Result. What more to Boost the economy of the Country. They can't face the reality anymore as they are too busy that their core-existance in the power is loosing out in the shortest time to come.
Are we not having a BLOODY Good PR MAN to tell us that there is something can be done to stop all these Bullshits.
Perhaps to start with the SNAP Election in Selangor to give a SLAP to the BN.

However apart from vetting for more principled candidates for GE13 which is the job of PR with advices from RPK and other well intention bloogers or NGOs, we the Rakyat can do more than just casting our precious vote for PR. We should do our own " VOTER GET VOTERS" campaign by personalising our email signature. i.e sign off with this " VOTER GET VOTERS" campaign for a FREE & BETTER Malaysia ( auto generated) . This is what we all can do personally without much efforts. Another idea to raise political awareness is to ask PR via PKR,DAP,PAS to print T-shirts and car stickers with those words in their own respective languages and sell to us readers to spread awareness and raise funds for PR

Of all religions, I must add.
It is absolutely unthinkable that christians leaders in developed countires can do what mother-of -all- gerrymandering Najib is going to do. All citizens will just stop and go to the streets to protest for the leaders resignation. Thats how a country will progress without the sampah and najis obstacles.
Malay people, STAND UP & BREAK DOWN THE WALL
We have stopped listening to you. For Malaysia..
