Dr M – stirring, not shaken

See TMI’s Umno today is about money, Dr M fires back at critics– reading Dr M’s complaint, all I can do is wakakaka.Is he telling us that UMNO is about money only after his PM tenure? Didn’t he, for example in 1998 reveal that both Anwar Ibrahim and Ahmad Zahidi (then in Anwar’s camp) enjoyed ‘privileges’ after the latter attempted to smear his name with allegations of nepotism and corruption, written by RPK as follows:Umno Youth leader Ahmad Zahid Hamid raised allegations of nepotism and corruption against the Prime Minister.

Dr Mahathir practically went berserk and retaliated by revealing the names of others who had benefited from government contracts and cheap share allocations, including those friends and family members of Anwar and of Zahid himself.

Also, wasn’t Ali Rustam at one stage barred from contesting for an UMNO’s VP position because of alleged money politics? Wasn’t our dear Selangor dentist convicted? The list can go on and on.

I reckon Dr M has now been driven into mentioning UMNO’s money politics as if it’s recent because he’s damn mad at those UMNO members who said it would be him and not Najib who would bring UMNO down because of his constant attacks against Najib just as he had done against AAB.

In my previous post Char koay teow, Malay style I had stated:

In any case, it can be argued that it has been Dr Mahathir who made UMNO lost its 2/3 in 2008, and not AAB. AAB was the hapless victim of Dr M’s continuous very-public criticisms.

Dr M has recently said that Najib will lose the next election for UMNO but on the logic of this post’s discussion we can argue that if UMNO were to lose in GE-14, it would be Dr Mahathir who loses it for his party by continuously undermining Najib and thus indirectly UMNO.
