As Umno branches across the country prepare for polls, former prime minister and Umno president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has called on party members to unite and get rid of leaders who disgrace the party in an allusion to Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Umno's recent electoral setback.

Our Comment:

1. Dr Mahathir said Umno today no longer fights for the race, religion and country and instead fights only for the power and benefit of the party president Abdullah.

Dr Mahathir is confusing the people with his statements. This trait of fighting for power and individual is in Dr Mahathir and not in Abdullah. By quitting UMNO, Dr Mahathir is actually splitting up the party. But now he is accusing Abdullah of bringing disunity among the UMNO members.

2. He said unity would be good if Abdullah had brought success for the party and country but thus far there has only been insults for Umno and Malaysia, adding that Umno and Barisan Nasional have lost badly in Election 2008 under the current president as party unity had frayed with members either voting in the Opposition or stayed neutral by not voting or spoiling their votes.

The failure of UMNO in the last general elections amongst them was due to Dr Mahathir's smear campaign of discrediting Abdullah. Is this a virtue that is worthy of a man that wants to call for unity? No, definitely not. If Dr Mahathir wants to unite UMNO members, he should have given his full support to his chosen successor and also convince the UMNO members to support Abdullah. Furthermore, he should give constructive recommendations and ideas and not fight to preserve his corrupted ways and practices of his era. This is a virtue of a true leader that advocates the call of unity.

3. He said calling for unity will not bring them back. Rather unity itself does not bring happiness. Unity only brings benefits if the struggle has the aims that everybody desires. Unity for unity's sake is not meaningful and will not bring blessings or benefits if the struggle is abused.

Does Dr Mahathir think that all UMNO members are like him? He is greedy, envious and selfish. So, any UMNO member who does not support Abdullah is a cohort of Dr Mahathir or some like of it. Blessings can only come from Allah s.w.t. Do we think that Allah s.w.t. will give His blessings to Dr Mahathir and his cohorts? We think not. We know what Dr Mahathir is made of and who are the people he deals with. Most of them are bad people, especially his wizards and witches.

Furthermore, if we follow Dr Mahathir's way, it is only to bring benefits to him and his cronies, not to UMNO, not to the people and definitely not to the country. Dr Mahathir and his cohorts can say to the people behind their backs, we only want the gravy train for ourselves and not for the people. The people can get the leftovers, if there are still left.

Happiness to Dr Mahathir is only for him and his cohorts to rape the country of her wealth. That is what Dr Mahathir terms as happiness. If he and his cohorts cannot get hold of this country's wealth, then they are not very very happy. That's why he is attacking Abdullah and wants to get rid of him because Abdullah has stopped him quite a bit from raping this country further. This effort to stop Dr Mahathir must continue until there is no more raping and our generations to come can live better lives.

4. He also repeated his charge that Malaysia's territory has been handed over to a small country in the south, naming Singapore as being treated as a big power with its approval needed to develop the southern region. Even the Prime Minister's decision not to replace the Johor Causeway had to be reported and told to the former Singapore Premier by the Malaysian Foreign Minister.

Abdullah is not treating Singapore as a big power but merely as a neighbor and as an ASEAN member. That's it. We will support Abdullah to get back Singapore when the time comes and then Dr Mahathir will see who is right and who is wrong. Among the reasons why Abdullah dropped the crooked bridge project was because it is a crooked project in the first place. Dr Mahathir and his cohorts will get millions from this project.

Anyway, why should we get rid of the causeway when we know that in the future Singapore will be back in Malaysia?

5. Dr Mahathir said the country's economy was in tatters with Malaysian investors not reinvesting while the pump prices and other goods have risen without any controls.

Who laid the ground work to put our country's economy in tatters? The answer is Dr Mahathir. Who deceived Abdullah into believing that PETRONAS cannot sustain the previous oil subsidies when the world crude oil prices went up? The answer is Dr Mahathir. Don't you dare Dr Mahathir to accuse Abdullah of such devious acts. We believe that Abdullah will revert the previous subsidy structure when the world crude oil prices goes down below USD90 per barrel.

6. Dr Mahathir asked "Should the Malays unite to support all this? If we must have unity, it is to resuscitate the dignity and success of our race and country," and said, "noting that unity is for good and not to cause suffering."

The answer is yes, we should unite and support Abdullah. He is very much a better person compared to Dr Mahathir. So, why should we follow Dr Mahathir? Furthermore, Dr Mahathir is a racist and Abdullah is not. Abdullah is the PM for all the people, not just the Malays. Abdullah's struggle is for the people and country and not just for the Malay race only. Also, not for the cronies, as what Dr Mahathir has done before.

7. He said there is no reason for the current leadership to be strengthened by the unity of people behind it. In fact, the unity is needed to get rid of leaders who have brought disaster to the party and country.

We should unite to rid this nation of people like Dr Mahathir and his cohorts and not people like Abdullah and his followers and supporters. Then, the nation will be on the right track to progress, peace, prosperity and unity. Finally, if everything is good, then only Allah s.w.t. will grant His blessings. Period.
