No, no, bro, the surgeon-general has recommended that that sick beast called UMNO be put to sleep!
After the 1999 general elections, one particular UMNO division at which a friend was highly placed was having great difficulty dealing with PAS propaganda on the ground.
Surprise, surprise, this friend asked if I would help out.
Surprise, surprise, somebody in that division must have been impressed with the little that I had tried to do to help, because the next thing I knew was I was invited to attend a closed-door brain-storming session to share my thoughts on what UMNO could do to reverse the trend of the 1999 elections.
I attended.
I listened to some rather pompous speeches from some politicians who were well past their shelf life.
When my turn came, I stood up, apologised for what I was about to say, told them that the cancerous culture of corruption and cronyism had spread so far through the body of UMNO that the kindest thing to do was to put UMNO to sleep.
I left.
