PM Najib is being advised by some of the "best" strategists from the States. These are of the McKinsey or Boston Consulting group types of young boys and girls. They only know one model: The end justifies the means. Machiavelli is their God........

UMNO is full of failed leaders. More of their first tier leaders have, at one time or another, left UMNO than have stayed. Tunku, Hussein Onn, Mahathir, Tengku Razaleigh, Musa Hitam, Anwar Ibrahim and maybe Mahathir again if he does not have his way in the run up to the 13th general elections. Some have done so out of spite, some out of a sense of moral responsibility while some chose to do politics outside UMNO. I look at Najib today and see a man out of his depth in a job he is ill equipped to handle.

He is clearly not a leader able to put two separate pieces of information together in his head – what more process the numerous inputs coming in from all angles and sources – and digest them before making the necessary decisions that would affect his party, his people and his country.

It is tragic for us and our country that this incompetent leader is advised by people whose vested interest overwhelms all other considerations. UMNO is obsessed with one thing and one thing only – how to hang on to power. There is no competent strategy of what to do with the malaise that has now overtaken our country because of this obsession for power over these last 50 years. No competent strategy of how to move on after the 13th general election. These UMNO goons have no plans beyond taking back power in the 13th general election. It would seem that should power be theirs again after the 13th general election it would be back to the orgy of plundering and pillaging of our country wealth and resources!

Who advises Najib? Mahathir? The same Mahathir that wants his so called ‘legacy’ wreck asunder by Pak Lah to now be ‘protected’ by Najib? What legacy? Abuses and incompetence would more appropriately describe the 20 over years of Mahathir’s rule. This same Mahathir has already fast tracked his son into Cabinet! Now he stands poised to ‘negotiate’ with Najib his support for Najib in the coming 13th general election in return for what? The crooked bridge in Johore? A minister ship for his son? The protection of his crony business interest because without the OSA he would be exposed as having betrayed the trust put upon him by the people to safeguard the interest of the nation rather then to abuse it by giving lucrative IPP and other projects and contracts to his cronies? What sort of advise would Mahathir give to Najib? Surely no advise that would benefit our nations interest and its people!

He is advised by UMNO leaders? Take Isa Samad and Thamby Chik – what advise would they give Najib that would benefit the rural Malays that are under their purview? These are two UMNO rejects that has to be recycled because UMNO has need for Isa’s proficiency in money politics and Thamby Chik expertise for gutter politics. It sickens me to the core to have these still titled dregs of human society in position of such responsibilities!

What advised has Najib been given to deal with the opposition – Pakatan Rakyat? His first foray into opposition territory was infamously successful with the taking of Perak from Pakatan Rakyat – not through the electoral process but through the baiting of opposition MP’s to cross over to Barisan Nasional. I will leave it to your imagination to figure out what bait was used. Suffice to say that apart from that bait, the Sultan and the Judiciary were co-opted to come onto Barisan Nasional side. What the price was for the capitulation of the Sultan and the Judiciary is still to be tabulated but we have a fair idea what the final costs will be!

After Perak Najib embarked on a relentless vendetta against the opposition. At times even death, as in Teoh Beng Hock’s, did not dimmed the enthusiasm of the offending mechanism used to harass the opposition. As if one death was not enough, it took another death before MACC began to get its act together – hopefully it will not regress to what it was before – a running dog for UMNO’s political agenda.

And now it would seem that only the jailing of the opposition leader would satisfy Najib. What have we regressed to? Somalia, Chad, Zimbabwe or the Democratic Repblic of Congo? In these places arrest warrants and the judiciary are weapons of choice for the government to neutralize any opposition!

I believe Najib is being advised by some of the "best" strategists from the States. These are of the McKinsey or Boston Consulting group types of young boys and girls. They only know one model: The end justifies the means. Machiavelli is their god. (No thanks to Oxford Dictionary, Nicolo Macihiavelli was actually a great statesman, not a politician of the UMNO variety!) Power is everything. As a Chinese saying goes; power can even make hantu do your biddings! Mahathir made corruption a respectable culture, Badawi glorified mediocrity of the highest order, and Nabib out-does everybody, he chooses to swallow wholesale! With RM9 billion, you can buy an aircraft carrier - with money to spare - let alone six silly patrol boats! I leave it to you go imagine the loot! Indonesia used to be a basket case in corruption. Suharto's wife was known as Mrs Ten. But ours is Mr 3-to-10 fold!!! Only Phillipines can match us -with their Marcos and Arroyo. But the situation did get better. Whereas in our case, things seem to head for a bottomless pit. How sad! ...

It is an unwritten fact that MACC is one of the brances of UMNO's gestapo. The others are OSA, PDRM, Peaceful Assembly Act, etc. When a government looks after the interests of its people, it is a good government. Who cares whether it is communist, democratic or socialist or whatever name you call it. It is s good government. What is so proud to be call democratic country when your government looks after the interest of the politicians' pocket rather than the people's pockets. It is a bad government. period. Unless you are uncivilised, can you be proud of this country? ...

And after victory at the 13th general election what else do they want? A responsible and accountable government. And good governance. And then? Prosecute those leaders who had abuse the trust place upon them by the people.

This is the scariest prospect face by B.N. people, this explain why they have to win at all cost, by the way such time will come sooner or later, by the way the new Gomen must build thousands of jail cells to house these criminals. ...

UMNO will never change and would continue to remain as autocratic, draconic and mafia association. Najib is probably seen as the worst Prime Minister in Malaysia and it will be only a matter of time when things will turn for the worst.

It’s too bad when the same crazy person who was behind the troubled UMNO in 1988, and also sacked many of his enemy who opposed him (Musa Hitam, Razaleigh, Anwar & Pak Lah) is the same one who brought Najib in to power.

As long as Mamaktaik is around, UMNO would never be in peace. ...
