With Ali Rustam now out of the running, the coast appears to be clear for Muyhiddin to claim the Umno deputy presidency with his only challenger now being Mat Taib.
The thing is, does it make any difference who the No. 2 is?
If anything, this move will only worsen factionalism within the party.
It is not any single individual who is the real problem but the whole system of money politics: the close ties between business and politics, the system of patronage, rent-seeking and cronyism….
That is much harder to uproot – for we are talking about a whole culture, the motivation for entering politics, vote-buying (not just during party elections but also by-elections and general elections).
guilty but still in power. just because he’s an umno man

You’re welcome, sword of justice. Actually, I’m using this pseudonym since there hasn’t been an Andrew I yet, unlike Henry VIII, George II etc. Prince Andrew is no. 4 in line so there’s only a slim chance he’ll get to be Andrew I. Unlike me…only kidding!
Yes, thank Anil for the space. We really need a sense of humour to deal with the verbal compost that is being heaped on us daily. Nothing irks me more than having my intelligence insulted.
I know we don’t live in a perfect world, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t stand up to the imperfect, especially the glaring ones…pun intended.
Cheers.

BN/UMNO … attempts a clean-up yet the puss keeps surfacing. This is a corps that needs amputation after all; the anti-bodies are all dead even the operating courts Ops! theater is infested and insanities’. Here’s the remedy: MIC has to be chopped off PPP warrant some serious dosage of antiseptic and viral flushing and the MCA beginning with its tongue eye ears … could do with some strict bandaging and isolation …. As for UMNO quarantine without exception, don’t even announce it, and decapitate this syndrome like scabies and anything (One) near IT. We got rid of polio TB typhoid but dengue and UMNO are as stubborn as any … This BN corps exudes as Dr M returns to his practice, this time gloves off as everyone is definitely infected-there goes the understatement-Infected you said? I have no sympathy. BN/UMNO must never mutate not in this life.

Ali has call on the PPP sometime back to pull out of BN if they are not happy with the coalition.
Maybe it’s time for him to pull out from umno if he is not happy with the decision of the displinary committee.
Ha, Ha, what goes around always comes around.Remember.
