Of UMNO's cracking up "All in the family" unity...

UMNO's Presidential election expose another serious flaw in the beleguered party. Once since as a party of "comrades", an ugly truth returns - UMNO do have sore losers.

If left unchecked, this can lead to more serious troubles ahead...

Remember Ku Li? Once a serious contender to UMNO leadership back in the 80's, his Presidential election lost to Tun M leads him to form the now definct Semangat 46.

Zoom to 2018 and Ku Li makes another bid for UMNO's President'spost, going against Zahid Hamidi, KJ and 2 others. He still lost. What else is new, you may say...

This time around, Ku Li thought he got the post wrapped and ready for him. He read it wrong and he came in third with a dismal 20 over divisions. Ku Li had wet draems of him leading UMNO to charge back at Tun M. He had over 200 UMNO youth delegates visiting him a couple of days ago and had division leaders swooning around him.

In the end, he came in third. No medals there. Does Ku Li accepts his defeat graciously? The answer is NO. Instead of declaring his open support for Zahid Hamidi, Ku Li sticks to UMNO's SOP of blaming others for their shortcomings. If Najib blaims negative perceptions for BN's 9th May loss, Ku Li put the blame on "money politics". So typically UMNO and what Ku Li incidentally do is opening up UMNO's long-open secret of vote buying.

What Ku Li fails to realise is that his statement maybe used to needle in UMNO and MACC can openly investigate UMNO and its leaders of money politics. Ku Li put a safety clause by saying that "rumours has it" but he is better off shutting his mouth than to blame on "hearsay".

I guess for Ku LI - If I didn't win UMNO Presidency then nobody should be either. Bad move there, Ku Li.

It is still OK if only Ku Li comes out as a sore loser. Now KJ, UMNO's golden son, reflects his trueself when he claims that UMNO warlords use threats to get the delegates voting their way. Isn't KJ one of the warlors himself. I mean, he was the immediate past leader of UMNO youth. Isn't that a position powerful enough to shake the earth and send shivers to the rest of UMNO leadership?

KJ claims that the warlords use threats. KJ should be more precise how the threats work. If the threats are related to political coffers and projects, there are now none since UMNO has lost their golden goose by the name of Putrajaya.

If KJ imply of money politics, then KJ is actually admitting to MACC that what MACC did to freeze bank accounts is the right thing to do.

Both KJ and Ku Li may be sighing relief as Zahid Hamidi is called to be MACC's guest tomorrow. I guess for Ku LI and KJ, whatever it is "yang menang jadi abu, yang kalah jadi arang"

Where is the supposedly UMNO's family spirit in party elections? If party elders and movers like Zahid, Ku Li and KJ could not embrace that spirit, how do you expect the 16,000 over delegates to embrace that spirit?

Hamid Albar quit UMNO, Bukit Gantang MP quits the party, Bagan Serai MP left UMNO, and the latest to openly quits the party is former Puteri chief.

In short, UMNO is now a flawed party. It is Najib who planted the flawed seed and Zahid Hamidi is harvesting on poor crop of UMNO leaders.

Me? Let's hear from Sabah UMNO....

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
