Pemuda & Wanita UMNO.

26.3.2009.

Thursday 26th. March. OK, OK, I was off on these 2 predictions, but they were only predictions, anyway. Here's my conclusion. A full 70% of Pemuda UMNO delegates ( 38% KJ and 32% KT) can shout until hoarse that they support Najib's and the so-called "respected Party elders'" call to vote for King & Country, but the plain fact before us is that they haven't change a damn bit - money buys votes. KJ had only LAST WEEK been found guilty of corrupt practices, not by someone from outside, but by UMNO itself. And still he's given the vote to lead the Youth wing, the breeding ground for future Party leaders. If he remains there, UMNO can kiss goodbye to any thought that Pemuda can help UMNO rise from deep shit.

I'm more open to suggestion in the case of Wanita. I've had some personal encounters (she doesn't know it)with Rafidah and don't like her, but picked her to win because I thought Dollah's touch on Sharizat would have been fatal. Obviously, unlike Pemuda, the vote count indicates a massive "yes" for the new leader. We'll see if she walks the talk. To-night we'll get the results of the rest of UMNO's elections. We'll see if UMNO really wants to change its spots.
