The latest Umno hero is none other than the "I am a Malay first" DPM Muhyiddin Yassin.
Pity that he was so too eager to jump into the fray without first ascertaining the facts, and therefore exposing his naked ambition to also perhaps go for the Umno presidency himself ?
Umno knows that it has lost the Malay support.
And that it needs to do whatever it can to regain the Malay support they had taken for granted.
The fact is that more Malays had voted for the opposition than for Umno in Ge13.
But of course, Umno won't admit this.
So it turns its attention to trying to demonise the Chinese and making bogeymen of them.
Pity again (for the 60 + year old dinosaur Umno) that our Malay brethren are not biting the bait anymore.
For, despite all the provocations and attempts to pit the races against each other, Umno has failed miserably to elicit the hoped for response.
Umno's desperate brand of survivalist politics is inimical not only to themselves but also, more importantly, to the nation.
Instead of speaking rationally and trying to bring the races together, Umno, it seems, is more interested to use race as platform to remain in power.
But a desperado can't be expected to be rational, can it?
When someone says that
He is Malay
Or Indian
Or
Chinese
Or Kadazan
Or
Dusun
Say
I am too
When they ask
How is That
Possible
Say
My blood
Is
Not
Yellow
Or
Brown
Or Black
Just
Like Yours
Is
Not
When someone says
That
You are
Pendatang
I am
Not
Say
We
All are
If you are a believer
Say
We
All come
From
The One
If you are not a believer
Say
We
All come
From
The
Stars
We
Are All Stardust
When someone says
I am
Privileged
By
Law
Say
We
All are
Privileged
By
The Law
Of
Life
