A phyrric victory. Umno in mahkota. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 18.


1. I wasn't interested to a make a posthumous, err I mean a post election comment on the mahkota buy election. Untill I heard the Johor mb said the mahkota victory is a manifestasi keyakinan terhadap kera jaan Johor.

2. By which he actually means confidence in him and UMNO, more of him. We have no quarrel with the young man on his ego trip. What do you expect from an UMNO warlord?

3. But he is wrong on one thing. It's not confidence in him or UMNO but confidence in the leadership of Nana Non. Or Mamu Non.

4. I intentionally said posthumous really as I think the old UMNO is dead. The UMNO now is full of robbers, with its unchecked corruption, plunder and its naked neo Nazi principles.

5. The old and original UMNO is dead and with it the halcyon days. Gone are the days where UMNO can win elections alone and soon where it thinks it can put up batu and kayu as candidates.

6. The victory in Mahkota was won because UMNO is part of PH. The victory is an endorsement of Anwar's leadership, not UMNO

7. Definitely not of wak47s leadership. He can only grin.

8. Umno is on respiratory apparatus now. It can only live as long as it receives oxygen from PH.

9. The rule is now, UMNO cannot win on its own. Extending the rule further, it means that if UMNO is absorbed as part of the government where its in the minority, UMNO must absorb others into the government where it is the majority .

10. The principle of a unity government must be reflected universally. UMNO can't say it doesn't want a unity government in areas where its in control but greedily wants to be part of the government where its not in control .

11. It means, there must be the principle of give and take. If a stupid boy says there is no need for a unity government in Johor, let's hope that's not UMNOs inflexible principle .

12. So despite the euphoria and the jubilation of a PH victory, the readings between the lines are not lost on the more perceptive UMNO leaders.

13. Which included the principles that UMNO will never win elections on its own, that it can never convince non Malay voters and that UMNO must compromise.

14. And the most important rule of all- UMNO is part of the government at the pleasure of Nana Non and the intelligence of a subservient wak47. UMNO needs a wak47 , despite the ever looming 47 marbles.

15. The fact is that UMNO is increasingly dependent on Nana Non.

16. Accordingly, the hardliners, the hawkish elements in UMNO, the bigots the extremists, the Akmals will slowly disentangle themselves from mainstream UMNO.

17. Those left behind will be the open , liberal and pragmatic minded who accepts the way forward is to cooperate with PH . These can fortify support for Nana Non.

18. The alternative choice has gloomy consequences. If the argument of there is no necessity of forming a unity government in Johor is accepted, in states where PH per se is strong, it's equally true , they don't need a unity government with UMNO either .

19. Hence, in a tit-for-tat measure, there's no need for a unity government with UMNO in Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan or maybe Perak.

20. I won't discuss the reasons for the poor non Malay voter turnout in Mahkota. the party having to do introspection is UMNO.

21. I think it is Mawi who sings a song called menang dalam kalah. For UMNO at Mahkota, it's defeat in victory.
