Malays will eventually all unite under PPBM
Yes, there can only be one tiger on the mountain. Mahathir cannot share the mountain with Umno and Anwar. Umno needs to die and Anwar needs to be castrated. Sabah and Sarawak will always join the winner so they will swing to PPBM. The Malays will unite under PPBM and DAP will crawl into the corner and shut their mouth. That is what Wawasan 2020 is all about.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Some say Umno should reinvent itself. Some say Barisan Nasional needs to be reformed. They might as well say the Nazi Party of Germany needs a transformation program to become relevant and acceptable to the Germans again.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made very sure that Umno and Barisan Nasional no longer have any future in Malaysian politics. Mahathir believes in the doctrine that one must never wound an adversary, one must kill it. And Mahathir killed Umno and Barisan Nasional.
There are only two ways a political party can come to power. One would be to cut across all races and be equally acceptable to Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sikhs, plus the natives of Sabah and Sarawak. The other would be to become a ‘hardcore’ party and be supported by not less than 85% of the Malay electorate.
Pakatan Harapan, a coalition of four parties, is the first. Umno, on the other hand, is neither here nor there. It does not have absolute Malay support and neither does it have the support of the non-Malays and the natives of East Malaysia.
Once Umno dies, PPBM will inherit Umno’s billions and its three million members
Umno may soon face the fate of the Communist Party of Malaya, a relic of the past and no longer required today. This is the reality facing Umno and, by extension, Barisan Nasional.
When Umno was deregistered in 1988, Mahathir formed Umno Baru and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah formed Umno Malaysia (which later had to be changed to Semangat 46). Basically, both Mahathir and Razaleigh wanted to lay claim to being the new Umno or replacement Umno.
Mahathir, however, managed to grab the billions of Umno assets and investments. Hence Mahathir won and Razaleigh lost because at the end of the day it is all about the money. Basically, whoever gets his hands on Umno’s billions wins, so Mahathir won.
Umno is still worth billions but after the 1988 ‘experience’ Mahathir and Tun Daim Zainuddin made sure that the billions were no longer in the name of the party but parked under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies — which means even if Umno Baru is, yet again, deregistered, like in 1988, the billions would be safe.
In 1988, Mahathir and Daim parked Umno’s billions under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies so that whatever happens to Umno the billions would be safe
So, the death of Umno in 2018 is not as critical as the death of Umno 30 years ago in 1988. In 1988, when Umno died, its billions got jammed up or frozen for more than three years and Umno Baru was broke. Today, Umno will die alone because its billions are safely parked under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies.
There is only one problem though. Will those trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies hand back or serah balek Umno’s billions which they are holding? If given a choice probably not, but what the government is doing to Najib Tun Razak, Rosmah Mansor, Zahid Hamidi, and many more people to come over the next few weeks, very few would dare defy Mahathir and not hand back Umno’s cash, assets and investments they are holding.
Keep Umno’s wealth and go to jail for money-laundering or hand it over and stay out of jail. That is the message Mahathir is sending by going after Najib, Rosmah and Zahid plus many more people in the weeks to come.
Today is the last day for Umno. As of today, about 150 of Umno’s 191 divisions are considered illegal. So technically Umno is an illegal party and tomorrow the Registrar of Societies can deregister Umno like they did 30 years ago in 1988.
Today, Umno’s fate has been sealed and PPBM is now the Umno Lebih Baru
For all intents and purposes, after today, Umno no longer legally exists. So, if the Malays still want a Malay party, then they need to join the only Malay party still in existence, which is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia or PPBM.
And that is why PPBM is only for the Malays. If PPBM became like PKR and accepts non-Malays into the party, then the ex-Umno members would not join PPBM.
Mahathir is a political genius and he knows what he is doing. He will make sure PPBM becomes Umno Lebih Baru and that the three million Umno members plus 35 or so Umno MPs join PPBM. Then PPBM will end up as the largest political party in Malaysia, and all Malay on top of that.
All PPBM will need is the support of PAS and one faction of PKR plus the parties from Sabah and Sarawak to stay in power. So even if DAP and Anwar Ibrahim try to pull off a coup it will fail because they will not have the numbers.
Yes, there can only be one tiger on the mountain. Mahathir cannot share the mountain with Umno and Anwar. Umno needs to die and Anwar needs to be castrated. Sabah and Sarawak will always join the winner so they will swing to PPBM. The Malays will unite under PPBM and DAP will crawl into the corner and shut their mouth. That is what Wawasan 2020 is all about.
