UMNO Deputy President Muhyiddin sets the tone for GE-13 at UMNO General Assembly
by Hafiz Yatim (11-29-11)
UMNO has made a clarion call to its members from the Wanita, Youth and Puteri wings to defend Putrajaya at all costs to ensure the sovereignty of the Malays.
UMNO Deputy President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, said UMNO is in a critical situation now.
He was speaking at the UMNO General Assembly tonight in Kuala Lumpur.
“The 13th general election is the mother of all elections as it would determine whether the Malays will fall or rise up. Will the political power remain in our hands or will it pass to others?” he asked.
“Do you want to see the political power to be lost and allow the opposition to win Putrajaya? Are we prepared to see the Malays losing their power on their own land? Certainly the answer is no,” said Muhyiddin in his joint speech to the Wanita, Youth and Puteri wings tonight.
Muhyiddin urged all three movements to mobilise to defend UMNO and BN at all costs in the coming election.
The Deputy President also called on Wanita chief, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, to lead the female warriors of the party, and UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin to be the Malay warrior in leading his movement to be the defenders of UMNO.
“All votes from women are important as women have a strong influence in society. As for UMNO Youth we have the youngest warrior in Khairy, and he should move his members to fight in the strongest challenge the party is facing. Prepare yourself mentally and physically for the battle ahead.”
Muhyiddin said today’s landscape had changed where it now caters for the young, and UMNO must give its commitment and trust to the younger generation. “To UMNO leaders – give way to the younger generation for them to contribute in the party. Guide them as UMNO would not last without support from the younger generation,” he said.
Muhyiddin also had words for its new movement Puteri UMNO chief, Rosnah Sirlin, calling on her to play her role effectively.
“We have to remain united, have one mind, one prayer and one ambition to see the party remains strong. Disregard the differences and internal fights. “Believe that the party’s struggle is a jihad for the religion, race and country. It is a jihad for justice and protecting our rights. We have to believe that the coming election is important to our survival. The election is a fighting arena for all of you to become warriors. Do not retreat or surrender easily,” he said.
‘Let Leaders decide on candidates’
Muhyiddin said candidates were the weapons for the party and members should give their full trust and support to them.
“Let the Leaders decide on the choice of candidates. What is important is they have the calibre, are educated, are close to the people, clean, sincere, honest, have high morals and are accepted by society,” he said.
“Give your undivided support to the party and its leaders so that we could successfully promote the party president’s transformation agenda. The President is brave to introduce the political transformation, and change. This should be accepted by all UMNO members,” he said.
He urged members to defend the party at all costs and not to run away from the battle. “Do not retreat, do not sabotage, do not boycott, do not play dirty, do not close the party’s office during elections, and do not stab people from behind. Do not do anything that would hamper the party’s chances of winning. Remember the election is a contest to determine our survival. It is not to win individually but collectively as a party,” he said.
“Focus on the problems faced by the people. Feel their pulse, hear their problems and go and assist them. We must be their eyes, ears and voice and most important we must be responsible to commit ourselves morally to assist the people,” said Muhyiddin.
Cry Geranimo. Good luck to UMNO if it has to rely on Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, the NFC-Cowgate tainted Wanita UMNO leader and Khairy Jamaluddin and his colleagues like Azeez “Somalia”Rahim and Reezal Merican to win GE-13. It shows that UMNO suffers from a lack of good leaders in UMNO Youth and Wanita UMNO.

When did UMNO have good leaders after 1970. All the UMNO Malays eat too much kerbau and their brain has become full of bull dust. their intellect is limited to their race and corrupt greed. Only a total social and political revolution will Malaysia glow to its original shine.

Race card will be played. In fact, it has already started.

What he actually means:
We – the UMNO leaders – fear that we will lose our power to continue to rob and steal from the people with impunity if Pakatan Rakyat takes over at the next GE.

The UMNO/BN predatory state:
http://scholar.harvard.edu/sites/scholar.iq.harvard.edu/files/jrobinson/files/jr_predatory.pdf
I argue that whether or not a state is “predatory” hinges on the relationship between development and the distribution of political power in society. “Development is typically inconsistent with the preservation of the political status quo and this gives those who initially hold political power an incentive to oppose it. I show that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, the likelihood of predatory behaviour may be positively related to the extent to which a regime is encompassing and values the future. The model also predicts that the lower is the level of income, and the more unequal is society, the more likely the state is to be predatory. Initial inequality, since it influences the likelihood of political transition, is a crucial determinant of policy choice. I also show how factor endowments influence policy: states in economies relatively endowed with natural resources, or where the elite’s wealth is concentrated in land, are more likely to be predatory.”–Robinson

Race card will definitely be on um..no plate, but please note that many foreign migrants with mycard will be taking over lots of business here, and also create havoc, social problems. So it will now depend on the wisdom of the voters come ge13. God bless this country.

Jihad for religion race and country?? Who gave you the right to speak for me? Speak for yourself.

Sure let it be so. let all other Malaysians also engage in Jihad to protect their natural rights. This Myhdin DPM is wiping up racial tension and a severe social conflict that will lead into civil disorder . Foreign investors will not enter a rascist Malaysia. neigbhouring countries will denounce the UMNO dominated Malaysia.
This is the dooms day calling for this melayu Mydin.

Election war cry by the ruling party as expected looked like a buck up call for the sleeping youth and wanita giants and the wounded tigers to attack with vengeance the ‘mother of all election’ .

The GE is to determine whether the malays will ris e or fall. OMG .
This cant be further from the truth. Isnt this supposed to be about Malaysia and MalaySIANS. Isnt that why we have a Government. To serve its people.

Isnt this supposed to be about Malaysia and MalaySIANS ?
Isnt that why we have a Government..To serve its people.- Kathy
To your two questions: The answer is NEGATIVE.
Why?
Because :
(1) THIS IS Malaysia ruled by UMNO-BN over the last 54 years. And voters have never complained at every General Election.
And looks like they will NOT complain again in the coming 13th GE.
(2) Malaysian voters are BORN LOSERS.. They always voted the same bunch of losers at every election to win Government… a reflection of themselves.
Thank you for asking… next question please?
