2004-09-26 Two traitors at the UMNO general assembly: Anwar Ibrahim and money politics

No speaker missed a chance to rail against Dato' Seri Anwar and money politics. One would have thought that both united to bring UMNO to its knees, the leaders blabbering like idiots when either or both are mentioned. How do we know there is no money politics in UMNO? Every winner in the party elections proclaimed loudly and clearly that they did not know what this money politics is, did not indulge in it, and won because the members decided they should. Those who failed should try harder to be the servants of the people the winners are. They lost because they did not serve the people. It did not matter of course that on the eve of the election, many candidates happily doled out money to help the expenses of those who came to vote. That is not corruption or money politics, you undersand, but just what a politician would do so others would not be put to money problems for coming afar to vote. The UMNO president, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, said he did not believe this talk of bribery, vote buying and money politics. It is spread, did you not know, by anti-UMNO elements out to destroy UMNO and Malay Unity.

2002-05-28 The Prime Minister Prepares for An Ecumenical Elections

Dr Mahathir deftly neutralised PAS, after he sidelined its president, Dato' Fadhil Noor, at a forum on Palestine, by making him agree that Malay Unity must not be sidelined by the likes of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the jailed former deputy prime minister. It put PAS so defensive that Dato' Fadhil is forced to justify the pact. But Dr Mahathir, with shrewd strategic logic, had won when he took second billing at the rally. Dato' Fadhil has since told friends Dato' Seri Anwar cannot be sidelined that easily -- not yet.

2002-05-14 Dr Mahathir taunts the Opposition

The Malaysian Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Mahathir Mohamed, fresh from his persuading PAS to ignore the jailed former deputy prime minister, Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and his 'reformasi' movement and return politics to one of Malay Unity, now taunts the opposition. He snared the PAS president, Dato' Fadhil Noor, in a discussion on Palestine by turning the tables on him. The UMNO strategists clearly knew what they wanted out of this debate. The PAS strategists thought they could steal a march on UMNO, but could not. Dr Mahathir by turning up as a humble supplicant, taking second place to Dato' Fadhil, changed the country's mood to isolate, if not split, PAS. Malaysian politics has since 1998 been held ransom to what happened to Dato' Seri Anwar. It put UMNO on the defensive.
