Tak payah Isa Samad,letak 'kepala lembu' pun UMNO akan menang.....

Jika sekiranya UMNO/BN meletakkan 'kepala lembu' sebagai calonnya, dengan 5000 undi pos dalam tangan,UMNO/BN sudah terjamin akan menang mudah di Bagan Pinang.

Tetapi dengan memilih Isa Samad, UMNO/BN mungkin tidak begitu yakin sama ada majoriti yang diperolehi dalam pilihanraya umum 2008 dulu boleh diperahankannya.

Memikirkan masalah inilah, menyebabkan UMNO/BN terpaksa akur dengan kehendak ahli-ahli UMNO bahagian tersebut supaya meletakkan bekas MB Isa Samad yang sememangnya sudah terpalit dengan beberbagai gejala rasuah.

Persoalannya, sungguhpun Isa Samad boleh menang besar di Bagan Pinang, tapi adakah kemenangan itu memberi erti sebenar kepada UMNO/BN? Jadi tidak perlulah Najib melalak seantero dunia kononnya UMNO akan memang besar....memang pun UMNO boleh menang tapi sebesar mana?

Dalam senario inilah PAS dan rakan-rakan sekutunya akan berjuang habis-habisan untuk membawa kemenangan yang lebih bermakna, walaupun PAS sedarnya undi pos tak akan memihak kepadanya.

Lawan tetap lawan.

Amazing?! For the second time in a row, Umno chooses a candidate tainted with corruption. They chose Rohaizat Othman at the recent by-election at Permatang Pasir. Rohaizat was disbarred as a lawyer for misusing clients’ funds. Now for the Bagan Pinang by-election, they choose Isa Samad who was suspended by Umno’s very own disciplinary board for money politics (read: corruption).

And the most amazing thing is that Umno’s members from that branch wanted only Isa and even threatened to boycott the by-election if Umno chose another candidate. The fact the Bagan Pinang’s Umno branch demanded for Isa’s selection only reflects the kind of people who are members there.But Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak must be so desperate to win a by-election, that he bowed to pressure and chose a tainted man like Isa.

This selection of Isa is the consequence of many years of handouts in which Umno gives out contracts to their members. And Isa is popular not because he is a quality intelligent leader, but a leader who knows how to manipulate the system to pass contracts to the relevant people.

All the noise from Najib that he wants transparency and accountability in his government is mere empty words and promises. By right, Umno should discipline their members at Bagan Pinang for even threatening to boycott the election, but instead he chose the easy path for short-term gain.

It is very unlikely that Pakatan will win this seat as it is traditionally an Umno seat. So, I can imagine that Najib craves the right to brag after Umno wins (assuming they do), to the entire Malaysia.- Richard Wee
