MAY 19 ? Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad quit Umno today.

Surprise, surprise. Then again historically, it is not a surprise for surviving
Umno presidents to leave the party because of conflict with successors. The
party carries a curse with it where every president since Datuk Onn Jaafar has
quit the party later.

proof there is no unity in UMNO in the first place...they are all working for
their personal interests

Only Tun Razak was spared the curse because he died in office.

that is a bigger curse

While the other party presidents had quit over disagreements on party policy ?
Datuk Onn because of the failure to convince Umno to turn multiracial, Tunku
Abdul Rahman and Tun Hussein Onn over the deregistration of Umno ? I suspect Dr
Mahathir's intention are more personal in nature.

he is only working for himself, not the party. the party and country is the
biggest breasts for him to milk money

I don't think that his call for Umno members to leave the party in droves would
be answered by members. I wouldn't be surprised if Dr Mahathir would form a new
Malay party if his call to quit Umno fails.

a deja vu.but this time he is at the ringside.

I also worry whether Umno can survive in its present form much longer if Datuk
Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi does not step down as prime minister soon. Five weeks
ago I told Pak Lah to resign to prevent Dr M from disturbing the party. I feel
vindicated after today's announcement by Dr Mahathir.

a corrupted party like UMNO should be closed down, the fact is UMNO has always
been a party for the cadres to enrich themselves. There is not eough spoil to
share to all.

The question we need to ask now is whether Pak Lah can rebuild Umno in a
situation where the young have deserted it. With Dr Mahathir's announcement, I
suspect that many veterans may opt to leave the party too, either physically or
in spirit.

No Abdullah Badawi is never a leader for the nation, now he is not leader for
the Malays too.

Will Pak Lah's effort to rebuild the party result in a weaker party? Will the
party members deny him the mandate to do it or find somebody else this December?
The party a goner. prepare for a wake.


Whatever the outcome, the party has to overcome another prophecy. The RAHMAN
theory has been proven to come almost true as every president that Umno has
chosen since Tunku Abdul Rahman has followed the letters in his name.

And we are now at the last letter N.

The ironic situation would be that if Umno picks Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak as
the successor to Pak Lah, as it should, it would complete the RAHMAN theory and
thus also complete the demise of Umno as the government in the country too?

So Najib is the last party president...there after, some other party will lead
malaysia

It is something worth thinking about.
