Umno’s disciplinary board today barred leading deputy presidential contender Ali Rustam from contesting for breaching the party’s regulation.Umno Disciplinary board chairman Tengku Ahmad Rithaudeen Ismail made the announcement at the party’s headquarters here.Rithaudeen told reporters that Ali was found guilty under Section 10.1 of the party’s code of ethics after his agents were found guilty of vote buying.“His offence was because there was a link, his agents were found guilty, so he was guilty too,” said Rithaudeen.
Anwar Ibrahim described the disbarment of Mohd Ali Rustam from contesting in next week’s Umno elections as not only confirmation of the prevalence of money politics in the party but also of selective prosecution when action is taken to combat the scourge.
“Must we be surprised that a contestant for the number two post is deemed to have engaged in money politics?” mused Anwar.
“We cannot be surprised because we know the practice is entrenched in Umno and Ali Rustam’s disbarment is merely an instance of selective prosecution,” he commented.
“His disbarment will do nothing to combat the scourge of money politics for the entire party is steeped in the culture. Ali Rustam is being singled out because he is not in the deputy prime minister’s camp,” he elaborated.
Anwar claimed that the Umno’s disciplinary committee is stacked with DPM Najib Razak’s men and “in the event they act against the corrupt they do so at the expense of people not allied to their master’s camp.”
The PKR supremo speculated that his apparently inadvertent meeting last week in Hulu Langat with outgoing prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at an Islamic leader’s Maulud Nabi luncheon had provided the motive for the suspensions meted out by Umno’s disciplinary committee.“The Najib camp has moved to forestall things more from the fear they felt over my encounter with Abdullah and what that may imply for the upcoming transition than from a desire to cleanse Umno of the scourge of money politics,” he asserted.
“It will be business as usual for those not targeted by selective prosecution,” said Anwar caustically.
“Najib is turning the party into a microcosm of the country where a band of untouchables can flout the rules with impunity while the rest can and may be made targets as and when the powers-that-be want to make an example of whatever it is they want to clamp down at a given moment,” claimed Anwar.

This Ali Rustam guy who said UMNO has ruled Malaysia for 50 years,and they can rule for another 50 years more.UMNO,he says,does not need PPP, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, Sabah, Sarawak or anyone else to do this.
Wow,UMNO for sure doesn't need him (Ali) now.
Sudah CONFIRMED UMNO corrupted to the core.........
Kalau dalam pemilihan parti pun Ali Rustam boleh berlaku curang dan tidak amanah, apakah jaminan bahawa dia boleh menunaikan amanah rakyat melalui jawatan yang disandang sekarang dan jawatan yang akan disandang kelak tanpa sebarang penyelewengan?
Padan muka Ali Rustam .....
Read here,here and here.
cheers.

I wonder if UMNO members are citizen of Malaysia and if they are muslim? Why do I ask, you may wonder? Well, a malaysian citizen is under the malaysian law if they commit crime but it seem UMNO members are not subject to the same law if they commit bribery. No jail sentence whatsoever!!! Not even bought to the public courts! Heck, the sentences are different too, a warning and prohibited from seeking office! Are they Malaysian citizen if this is the case? As muslim, bribery is a most hideous crime and yet these muslim doesn't mind about people commiting bribery. Hey, even someone caught eating in public during ramadan were brought to court in a hearse and fined ( with a court record added)! Never heard anyone let off with just a warning or barred from seeking office. Didn't even merit a mention in the syariah court! Are you a muslim, UMNO members? Cos Islam do not tolerate bribery and there ae no warning or prohibition sentence in Islam. What law are you using??? It's not malaysian law and definitely not islamic law. So the question still remain...ARE YOU A MALAYSIAN CITIZEN AND ARE YOU MUSLIM, UMNO MEMBERS OOiii?!
