Of Ahmad Maslan, Bloggers Seeked, and Johnny Come Lately
A friend SMS me about UMNO's new Information Chief, Dato Ahmad Maslan's comment that as the Bernama report reads, 60,000 UMNO Info Workers Don't Understand Their Responsibility. For reactions, read Tunku here and Jelapang here.
This revelation of an open secret means a lot of thing. Since I am still recovering from a swollen right wrist and practically blogging left handed, I can't write at length and have to be brief. The questions are basically:
WTF have they been doing about this?
WTF appointed these blurred bunch of idiots?
WTF took them so long to realise?
WTF allowed such thing to happen?
Let me open another open secret.
UMNO survive out of mostly the volunteers, sympathisers, and machinery outside the UMNO organisational structure. In other words outside Gurkhas.
Unlike the opposition, UMNO members are not generally true members and real activist. UMNO is dependent on outsiders rather than within themselves. A simple thing of putting up posters are done by paid contractors, who could be opposition sympathisers, and not they themselves doing it!
