UMNO shows no signs of genuine reforms despite claims by PM Najib that UMNO is on the reform road as shown by the verdict of freedom for Anwar over the Sodomy 2 conspiracy. If there are no signs of reforms than UMNO will collapse in time, similar to what happened to the Soviet Union which collapsed in 1990.
Like Najib, Mikail Gorbachev tried to save Russia with his policies of ‘glasnost and perestroika’ but these failed to save Soviet Russia, because he could not introduce democracy and economic restructuring as there was no policies or infrastructure to modernise Russia.
Najib is also claiming that he has great plans to reform the country, ever since he introduced his 1 Malaysia program. However, all he had to deliver are just promises. Nothing concrete he promised to cut down corruption, but every day corruption is the rule in government departments, judiciary and the police. Events have overtaken Najib and there is no way he could reverse the corruption cancer pervading the country.
Anwar’s verdict of freedom in sodomy 2
PM Najib claims that his government supports judiciary independence by not influencing in the verdict of not guilty in Anwar’s sodomy 2 trial. This must be the greatest lie of the century, when it is well known by all the people and international countries that sodomy 2 was a conspiracy hatched by PM Najib, his wife Rosmah and Saiful. This is a fact which is undeniable.
Much as he would like to, Najib could not do otherwise like forcing a verdict that Anwar was guilty of sodomy 2, as the DNA evidence profferred by a well known Australian authority on DNA was irrefutable – there was no evidence of ANWAR’s DNA sperm on any of the Prosecuter’s forensic evidence. To do otherwise would make Najib’s governmemt the laughing stock of the world. He must have been so advised by APCO, an Israel organisation commissioned by Najib to boost his image internationally.
The reforms that Najib must make to reassure the people that his government is impartial, independent, incorrupt and fair to all Malaysians irrespective of race, culture or religion.
-
Amend the constitution to restore the separation of powers which are inherrent for the judiciary, the legislature and the executive. The restoration of the separation of powers is an urgent imperative. We saw this in the way that the executive could manipulate the judiciary, Parliament and law enforcement agents like the Attorney General and the police.
-
PM Najib must implement basic fundamentals like equality for all races. In his much publicised 1 Malaysia, He has yet to declare that the people are Malaysians first and foremost, and there should not be any discrimination between malays, chinese, indians, kadazans or dayaks.
-
We have yet to wait for PM Najib declare that Malaysians should not be divided into bumiputras and non-bumiputras. This division is not in the constitution, and is the work of Umno. Apartheid was practised in South Africa but with Mandela as Prime Minister there is no more apartheid. This is what the people want to hear, since he declared that Umno is on the reform path, no apartheid, no ketuanan melayu.
-
PM Najib has put all his faith on the ETPS to transform the economy. If he really wants to make Malaysia prosperous and become a high income nation, then he must listen to the advice given by both the World Bank and IMF that the must dismantle the NEP policy. Otherwise, Malaysia will be left behind while other countries like Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand overtake Malaysia in the coming Asian century.
So PM Najib, we want to see these refroms being implemented. If you do not, it is quite certain that Pakatan Rakyat will take over Putrajaya, ad dramatic changes will be made, courtesy of his nemesis, Anwar Ibrahim.
