| 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.
