Not a palmist..yet.But I know Dato Seri Najib and Tan Sri Muhyiddin are going to win easily!So very obvious!
And Mukriz sure menang for the Ketua Pemuda Umno post..Sorry Khairy..jangan kecik hati yea?
i better continue this comment in Bahasa Malaysia... so that the candidates will not misunderstood me or 'tak paham omputeh'.
Apabila saya melihat calon-calon Presiden Amerika mempromosikan diri mereka, saya melihat kewibawaan mereka berdebat;
Apabila saya melihat seorang Blogger ditangkap, saya melihat sekumpulan bloggers bersama-sama memberikan sokongan;
Apabila saya melihat sambutan rumah terbuka Hari Raya, saya melihat berbilang kaum bersama-sama menziarahi dan mejamu selera;
Apabila saya melihat 'privacy' satu kawasan perumahan dicabuli, saya melihat sekumpulan penduduk bersama-sama memegang sepanduk;
Sedihnya...
... apabila saya melihat orang-orang UMNO berkumpul, saya merasakan kehilangan pejuang-pejuang kemerdekaan terdahulu, persaudaraan yang erat.
Yang saya lihat adalah keangkuhan dan kesombongan si pemilik kereta mewah bercermin gelap dan penghuni banglo berdinding penjara yang kerap menjulurkan jari telunjuknya ke sana dan ke mari.
UMNO..The United Malay Nepotists Organisation.
Check Wikipedia
"Nepotism is the showing of favoritism toward relatives and friends, based upon that relationship, rather than on an objective evaluation of ability, meritocracy or suitability. For instance, offering employment to a relative, despite the fact that there are others who are better qualified and willing to perform the job. The word nepotism is from the Greek word 'nepos', meaning "nephew" or ....
Many countries in the world have examples of this tilt towards dynastic rule, such as:
# Malaysia: Tun Abdul Razak, the second Prime Minister, and his son, Najib Tun Razak, the current Deputy Prime Minister; Khairy Jamaluddin who won his position as Deputy Chief of UMNO Youth Wing with the influence of his father-in-law, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the current Prime Minister."
And Hishamuddin....and Mukhriz ...and...on...and on...

Good for Mokhriz. Hope the trend will continue so that we cant bury that son-in-law. Can trust this feller - who has contributed to the state Umno is in now.

If I were an Umno member, I would reject those candidates of dubious character, the recycled ones and those with lotsa of money to buy votes, unless of course they are easily bought over, which seems to be the case in the past.
Can we expect them to vote wisely? I DO hope so.
I think Muhyiddin - already with 23 nominations - is unlikely to be overtaken by Ali Rustam or Mat tyson.
Most probably Nurjazlan, another contender for the No 2 post, will withdraw from the race.
Ali & Mat Tyson should also withdraw. The axed-s'gor MB was so confident of the support of all S'gor Umno divisions.
Must feel letdown because the Shah Alam Umno division failed to deliver the votes for him.
Bagusssss!
Look at the list of the candidates new generation of UMNO leader emerges
this is the message from the grass root . for pemuda they want leader with gut and defending the idealism of Umno youth as the check and balance factor.
the tag team Najib -Muhyiddin is very critical anything happen to Najib we have Muhyiddin to carry on the torch. the other candidates are not the PutraJaya material.
