UMNO is now at its lowest ebb - ever. While its inner core is
decaying and rotting because none of its leaders are doing anything to
heal its wounds, party president Najib Razak is only concerned about
putting on make-up on his thick skin. He seems to place above all else,
presenting a grandiose façade to the people and the entire world.Many people in this country simply cannot understand how he can face them when he and his wife have been accused of so many wrong doings. He really must have a very thick skin indeed. Well, UMNO is Najib and Najib is UMNO because there is no other mascot that UMNO can use now.
So from prime minister, which is the traditional post given to the UMNO president, Najib is now a mascot. A glorified symbol with little power that moves and grooves only at the beckoning of former leader Mahathir Mohamad. And it is all his own fault. He messed real good. Sad to say, the ones who have to suffer are the people, especially the ordinary and poor folk in the 'kampungs' (villages).
Najib's failure to dissolve Parliament, forcing the Negri Sembilan state assembly into automatic dissolution has brough great shame to the mighty UMNO. Yes, of course Mahathir insists no harm has been done. But at this stage, Mahathir has no choice but to praise Najib to the skies or defeat will not only come but be severe beyond imagination - like the Great Depression or the Plague.
