UMNO TELAH SAMPAI TARIKH LUPUT?

Tidak ada yang kekal didunia ini. Sejarah telah membuktikan kekuasaan  kerajaan Firaun di zaman purba Mesir lenyap setelah 3000 tahun, yang tinggal hanya sisa-sisa sejarah yang juga akan ghaib disuatu masa nanti. Firaun yang terkenal di dalam lipatan sejarah diampu oleh penasihat yang sentiasa bersekongkol dan menyokong semua tindakan firaun dan membelakangi rakyat.

Kerakusan diktator dan pemimpin yang zalim di zaman ini seperti Marcos di Filipina, Sukarno dan Suharto di Indonesia, Ceaucescu di Romania, Saddam Hussein di Iraq, Bush di Amerika, Mubarak di Mesir dan terkini Ghadafi di Libya semuanya lenyap. Golongan ini telah sampai ke tarikh luput dan akan dilupuskan secara sendiri, semulajadi atau dipaksa.

Sejarah pemimpin dan parti politik yang diketuai oleh mereka pada asalnya bermatlamat baik tetapi kesemuanya membuat kesilapan naluri manusia yang gila kuasa dan harta serta  bergelumang dengan penyelewengan, rasuah dan kezaliman. Mereka juga mempunyai penasihat dan pengampu yang membawa rebah.

UMNO juga setelah sekian lama memerintah tidak terlepas dari fenomena ini. Kita telah banyak diberitahu melalui media dan juga mengalamani sendiri segala yang telah dibuat oleh UMNO. Memang benar ada kebaikan yang telah dibuat oleh UMNO kepada semua rakyat Malaysia, tetapi kita perlu menilai kembali sejauh mana kebaikan tersebut. Kita juga harus persoalkan samada segala kebaikan ini merupakan sesuatu yang istimewa atau sesuatu yang lumrah bagi semua kerajaan di dunia ini. Kita juga harus menilai adakah semuanya ini merupakan budi yang ditarik balik oleh UMNO umpama; 

  • Tangan dihulur, jari berkait
  • Buruk siku
  • Rasuah politik
  • Ayam berkokok ekor bergelumang tahi
  • Kera dihutan disusukan, anak di rumah dibiar kelaparan
  • Menang sorak, kampung tergadai

 Saya yakin masih ramai tidak sedar keadaan Malaysia sekarang ini yang hampir muflis. Kerajaan sudah tidak ada wang simpanan serta dana modal untuk menyenangkan rakyat. Rakyat dihimpit kemiskinan, kenaikan harga barang, hutang PTPTN, hutang rumah, hutang kereta dan bil-bil serta tol yang tak pernah turun. Kedua-dua suami dan isteri terpaksa bekerja untuk menampung beban hidup.Segalanya membebankan rakyat dan subsidi ditarikbalik sedikit demi sedikit. Walaupun dalam keadaan sebegini, UMNO/BN masih degil membuat projek-projek mega yang menguntungkan towkay-towkay sehaja. Walaupun dalam keadaan ini UMNO/BN masih membazirkan wang rakyat dengan berbagai program yang sia-sia, dimana kesemua program yang dibuat hanya mengeluarkan wang dan tidak ada satu sen pun yang masuk.

Salah satu yang dibanggakan oleh UMNO ialah membangunkan ekonomi orang Melayu dan bumiputera melalui Dasar Ekonomi Baru (NEP). Saya suka berterus terang di sini dan saya anjurkan satu persoalan –

“Berapa banyakkah faedah yang didapati oleh kaum bukan Melayu dan bukan bumiputera akibat dari dasar ini?”

Saya pernah mendengar ulasan Allahyarham Tun Gafar Baba tentang “keistimewaan bumiputera”

Jelas beliau;

“Apakah yang dikatakan istimewa? Yang istimewa semestinya lain dari yang lain dan bukan setara atau setaraf dengan kaum-kaum lain. Itulah dikatakan istemewa. Usaha kerajaan BN masa ini cuma mahu memastikan orang Melayu dan bumiputera hanya menjadi setaraf dengan kaum lain dari segi kerjaya, tenaga kerja, pendapatan isi keluarga  dan ekuiti dalam ekonomi…..ini bukanpun istimewa…”

Kalau kita fikirkan balik penjelasan Tokoh UMNO ini, UMNO sebenarnya telah gagal!

Tun Dr. Mahathir pun akui beliau telah gagal untuk menyedarkan orang Melayu.

Kita cuma sentiasa diwar-warkan dengan pencapai segelintir kaum Melayu sehaja, yang tidak juga menampakkan sesuatu yang luar biasa. Mungkin ramai golongan profesional dari kaum Melayu, tetapi bukankah ini satu tanggung-jawab setiap kerajaan yang diberikan kepercayaan untuk memerintah? Sama juga seperti seorang suami yang beristeri, yang bertanggung-jawab untuk memberikan segala yang mampu kepada isteri dan anak-anak.

Masalah yang kaum Melayu hadapi sampai sekarang ini yang masih ditakuk lama kerana UMNO tidak jujur dan tidak amanah. Umpama suami yang bermain kayu tiga dan berfoya-foya, berjoli  dengan hiburan, maksiat dan perempuan lain sehinggakan mengabaikan tanggung-jawab terhadap keluarga sendiri. Inilah puncanya yang mengakibatkan kaum Melayu berpecah hari demi hari. Umpamanya setelah diketahui suami bermain kayu tiga, si isteri pun turut sama dengan jantan lain dan anak-anak jadi liar, merempit, dadah, bohsia, bohjan dan buang anak sana sini. Ada yang murtad, ada yang ikut Bangla, Indon, Pak Hitam dan sebagainya.

 Kalau inilah yang terjadi selepas 54 tahun, maka UMNO tidak relevan lagi. UMNO sudah tidak boleh dipakai lagi, kena tukar, kena buang; pakai-buang.

MAT SABU, MAT INDERA AND MALAYSIAN INDEPENDENCE

The following are related articles pertaining to the issue:

From the Malaysian Insider;

Sejarah Malaysia versi UMNO Nafi Pejuang Melayu Lain

UMNO Riding On The Slippery Mat Sabu Bandwagon

Bukit Kepong: Anak Yusoff Rono Akui Mat Indera Selamatkan Bapanya

 From Malaysian Chronicle;    UMNO Gali Kubur Sendiri

 From Free Malaysia Today;  Azmin; Mat Indera Kuat Beribadat

 From PKR website;  Aziz Bari; Perjanjian Damai 1989 Juga Boleh Ditafsir Iktiraf Komunis

 From Sakmongkol AK47;  How can UMNO Take Out Mat Sabu

“UMNO didn’t take up arms to secure independence. Other people laid down their lives. What UMNO did, was run the final fourth lap, where the previous 3 were executed by others. What the hawkish and right wing elements UMNO have done is to claim absolute credit”

Saddam Hussein took control of Iraq when he became the leader of the infamous Ba’ath Party, a leftist’s nationalistic party in 1979. There were many power struggles before that but all amongst the Iraqis themselves without any major outside involvements. Sadam

In 2003 the USA invaded Iraq and until the present day, those in power now are all puppets of the US.

The predicament that the Iraqis are facing now is that Saddam was the enemy of his own people but the present day Iraqi government is the proxy of the US. The present Iraqi government which was put to power by the US through a staged-election is not given birth by Iraq; it is a test-tube product of the US.

Nouri Maliki was appointed by Bush

Malaysia gained independence without any revolts and bloodshed not because our leaders were so genius then, but simply because the British were in control of everything. The British has got nothing to lose when Malaya was given” independence”, simply because we were still much dependent on Britain.

Mat Indera

Britain dictated everything. Malaya’s economy was under British hands. The security forces, banks, education, judiciary, land, mines, estates, officials and even our head of states and rulers were under their thumbs. The British left behind their boys to take control of things for them. Many of those boys were more British then the British themselves. The British even decided which party could be included in the elections and which person should be the candidates, all hand-picked by the British. In short, UMNO was hand-picked by the British and despite all the efforts of other parties struggling for independence, UMNO was chosen. This was done at the end of the direct British rule, just like what happened in Iraq today and also in Afghanistan for that matter, but only this time it is the US and not the British.

Mat Sabu

So open up your minds and think about what Mat Sabu has said and know the story of Mat Indera before you support UMNO/BN blindly. Pakatan Rakyat is the only true product of Malaysia.

WHAT HAPPENS IF UMNO/BN STILL RULES AFTER THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION?

A lot of people are excited about the coming general election but many just couldn’t care less. Please ask yourself the big question What will happen to me when a new government runs the country? Will it be better or worse for me” Everyone must ponder and try to envisage and visualize the possibilities. If Pakatan Rakyat wins and rule Malaysia, I don’t know what they will do simply because they have never rule Malaysia yet since independence. But what are the prospects if UMNO/BN continues ruling?

I have some plausible scenarios. You may agree and you may not but, above all, I hope I am wrong.

The Economy

The economy will be in very bad shape for the following reasons.

  • The world economy will still be bad and affecting Malaysia. The FDI will fall and demands for our exports will recede.
  • Malaysia has no more huge funds and financing both by borrowing and issuing bonds will not be enough simply because Malaysia has not enough money even to honour its present commitments. Malaysian bonds are junks.
  • UMNO/BN will continue with their greed to plunder our country and create more blunders. UMNO/BN will never learn a simple lesson that we must have enough savings for rainy days. Petronas was meant to be some sort of a financial security for Malaysia and with its once huge undisturbed fund could be used to support our ailing economy or at least as a “jump-start”. Unlike Singapore that still have a very huge fund in case of any severe economic hardship which is under the sole jurisdiction of their president, our Petronas funds have all been siphoned out like nobody cares!

The economy will move for a while, and then it will be stagnant and eventually fall out. There will be very few development projects in the public sector but the private sector will strive hard to grow. Private companies still have the resources to develop, but it will also run out of steam within one year after election.

Employment

There will be more people out of jobs. Fresh graduates and those who have not found any job now will have to continue chasing for the few jobs available. Whatever jobs created by UMNO/BN will just be for foreigners. UMNO/BN recently announced that they will provide over 300K jobs and 250K will be for the Indons, Banglas, Pakistanis, Indians, and workers from Indochina. Malaysians will have to be patient, sit at home and continue watching TV1, TV2, TV3, TV7, TV8, TV9, Bernama TV, Astro Prima and all the propaganda and make beliefs by UMNO/BN that Malaysia is peaceful, prosperous, harmony, low unemployment rates and Malaysia has so many jobs that it needs one million foreigners to fill in the vacancies! Yes, those who support UMNO/BN and still out of jobs you can be proud!!

UMNO/BN is making Malaysia bankrupt just like Idris Jala had predicted.

  • The costs of all the projects have all been marked-up so that the extra costs will be kickbacks for those in power. Based on simple estimates nearly all mega-projects eventually cost at least 1.5 times the original cost. This means for every 1km of highway, we should have got 2.5km. For every airport, we should have 2.5 airports. For every 1km of railway, we should have 2.5km of railway. For every power plant we should have 2.5 numbers of power plants, for every bridge, we should have 2.5 bridges and for every government building, we should have 2.5 buildings. This is why Malaysia is going bankrupt.
  • Petronas, banks, FELDA, Sime Darby, MAS, Telekom, TNB and many other businesses that are supposed to generate income for the government are not performing well. They have so many debts and losses. Even our EPF (KWSP) has not been spared. UMNO/BN is so desperate to get fund that their next target will be the EPF starting from RM6billion being given to FELDA. More money from our EPF will be siphoned out. Eventually, the EPF (pension fund) will have no money to pay out to the contributors and the retired workers will have to wait several months to get paid. This happened to Venezuela in the late 80s and the Venezuelians went on riots. (This was coupled with the devaluation of the bolivar, meaning the value of the pension funds had been much less then what it ought to be and the financial reforms carried out by the Venezuelian government then)

The slow, pathetic and corrupt civil service

If UMNO/BN wins in the next general election, we will still have the bad civil service. Most of the present civil servants are slow, pathetic and corrupt. They have been pampered so much by UMNO/BN simply to get their votes. The top post, key personnel and bosses are all hand-picked by the UMNO/BN to serve their interests. In short UMNO/BN has somehow managed to create a civil service serving UMNO/BN and not dedicated to serving the rakyat. But there are also those in service that is not happy with UMNO/BN but they are being suppressed and denied promotions because they are not ball carriers.

Cost of living, summons, education, healthcare, crimes and loan sharks (ah long)

The costs of living will increase. There will be more poor people and the number of urban poor will increase. Everything needs money. Taxes will be increased. Summons and fines will be higher and whenever possible the UMNO/BN government will get the rakyat to pay. We have been informed how lavish the PM and his wife spending the rakyat’s money like nobody cares. We have seen what the UMNO/BN government has done to get the rakyat pay for all the wastages. We pay for higher electricity bills for the blunders by TNB & IPPs, the extra charges for medical care due to privatization of the hospital maintenance, the extra costs for privatization of water supply, subsidies being reduced so that the money is used by the UMNO/BN to bail out cronies and badly managed GLCs.

PTPTN will continue to encourage young Malaysians to start borrowing money they can’t afford even before starting work. This money borrowing culture will make the loan shark business grow and benefit those behind these ah longs. The standard of education will be very low. Our graduates can’t speak English anymore and they will not be world class. They will not be able to work overseas, this is how the UMNO/BN government going to stop the brain-drain. Hospitals will not be upgraded and the service will be bad, slow and the waiting time will take days.

Conclusion

In short, the future under UMNO/BN will be very grim. We have been taken for a ride for so many times; 12 times actually. UMNO/BN only has slogans and rhetoric but has never fulfilled most of their major promises. All these we know have happened for the past 54 years. It is time for us to change.
