Money Politic: Ali Roast 'em

Quote:

"As they say, you can't have the cake and eat it. You have to decide, do you want Umno to be seen as a clean party?

"We realise that there is some risk attached to it, but the biggest risk is if Umno is rejected by the people. We cannot afford that. Everyone has to sacrifice for the sake of the party," he added.

-- Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak statement on Malacca chief minister Mohd Ali Rustam who has been barred from contesting in the upcoming party polls.

Najib believes Ali will accept the Umno disciplinary committee's decision to bar him from contesting in the party polls amicably.

Najib suggested that there were times that the leaders were not at fault, as they were the victims of “overzealous” supporters.

Quote:

"Money politics exists in every party but in Umno it is practised more openly."

“The difference between Umno and other parties is that it is done more openly in Umno. ”

“The question is whether the party has the courage and accountability to make difficult decisions."

UMNO members are not subject to Malaysian law and the islamic law ( syariah court). Are they even a malaysian citizen and muslims ? This means that they are pendatang haram makhluk asing ( outer space aliens) and atheis..... Any UMNO members care to convince me otherwise???
