Update 11.00am
Here is the not so latest update from last night’s results:
Umno Deputy President : Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin
Vice Presidents :
1) Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
2) Datuk Hishamuddin Hussein
3) Datuk Shafie Apdal
Supreme Council members :
I sure hope they know what to do next. I do not envy the heavy burden they now have to carry.
Again, congratulations to all that were voted in.
Original post:
What a night eh?
The atmosphere in PWTC was electric. Especially when the results were announced.
Congratulations to the winners. All the hard work spent was only a fraction of the work they have to face from now on. All the best to them.
Ketua Wanita : Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abd Jalil
Ketua Pemuda : Khairy Jamaluddin
Naib Ketua Pemuda : Datuk Razali Ibrahim
Ketua Puteri : Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin
Naib Ketua Puteri : Shahanim Mohd Yusof
Hopefully with this new line up, all the KPIs and targets will be set to ensure further progress for the nation. To all that did not make it, there is always a silver lining in the horizon. Remember this story?
The important thing is, all Umno members should close rank to face bigger challenges.
Tonight, an even bigger result will be announced. Will update soon.

i am so happy that Khairy has won. bye bye mukhriz….you can’t carry out your father’s empire. bye bye toyo, better for you to lose. look at the shit you have created for selangor….. most selangorians won’t want you to win anyway.
congrats khairy….
congrats Shahrizat …….. bye bye the fat lady rafidah …. it’s high time for you to vacant your seat and rest at home and be a mama.
to those supporters of mahathir, sorry to let you know that you can’t go back to the glorious days of mahathir where you can do what you want.
JMD : It’s good that someone from PR is supportive of an Umno Youth and Women leaders (for a change). There is hope in that still, right?
By the way, you do not have to state that only when Dr Mahathir at the helm did Umno can do whatever they want. Umno bulldozed its way into doing whatever they wanted since 2004 (much to everyone’s chagrin). Let’s not forget that. Umno from now on, with the new leadership must show strong leadership abilities and charisma in order to lead the nation towards prosperity. Unlike the dark days we saw for half a decade before.
And with the help of supportive Malaysians (like you and me), hopefully all Malaysians will persevere.
Thank you for having faith with this leadership. But do not forget to criticise constructively if they are not doing their jobs.

I refer to the comment (10.11am, March 26, 2009) made by ‘jebat’s fren’.
Your comment, at best, is akin to someone who does not have any political sense. In politics, one has to read in between the lines and not get immersed in rhetoric or empty promises which are meant to be broken.
For you to condemn what the Tun had done for Malaysia, it is likened to a blind reading a novel. At the end of the day, nothing gets into his head. Basically, what he had done was for all Malaysians not to experience once again what the British had done to Malaya, long before many of the youngsters of today were even born. The British fed one’s top with a banana and shaft a thorn into his bottom.
Judging on the past performance of the clowns voted in, there is not a shade of doubt, the British modus operandi of divide and rule will be soon be implemented, slowly but surely.
However, it is just unfortunate to say that you are one of those unfortunate many whose vision is like Pak Kaduk: ‘Ayam menang, kampong tergadai’, based on the universal fact that most politicians today do not love the country but love the money.
If your knowledge about politics is indeed shallow, just shut up and look around you, with both eyes open wide and not be blinded with a gift of one piece of ‘sarung’ or a packet of ‘ang pow’. It is the cheapest form of politics, unfortunately.
Are we really qualified enough to condemn the Tun, when some of his ideologies are now being subtly adopted by some of the most advanced countries in this world, today?

Election of Khairy As UMNO Youth Chief – The Ugly Consequences – By Matthias Chang (26/3/09)
By Matthias Chang
Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:00
Khairy and Badawi may gloat that even in defeat, they were able to salvage a battlefield victory of sorts, but their glee will be short-lived and would spell the inevitable defeat of UMNO and Barisan Nasional at the next General Elections, or earlier.
Maybe, this is the ultimate revenge to be exacted by Badawi now that he has been removed from the power equation.
The delegates who voted for Khairy will live to regret their short-sighted decision.
The call for radical change rings hollow when Khairy was elected as UMNO Youth Chief, because it is an indication that certain factions within UMNO are still in a state of denial.
At the last General Elections, the denunciations against the Barisan Nasional from the electorate were loudest and frustration displayed most acute, whenever the names of Khairy and Badawi were uttered by Opposition leaders and supporters. I was there and I was able to announce a massive defeat for the BN even before nationwide results were announced. I had sent out SMS to friends all over the country of my view even before the polls were closed!
I had even predicted before the General Elections that Badawi will be forced out after the elections. I have enough witnesses to testify to this fact, some of whom were close supporters of Badawi.
I would say that the disenchantment was directed more at Khairy than Badawi.
It was ugly, so very ugly – the damnation and anger.
The electorate perceived (regardless whether we agree or not) Khairy as the personification of the corruption and abuse of power that prevails in UMNO. This perception still prevails.
This was further compounded, when he was merely reprimanded by the UMNO Disciplinary Board for money politics, when his so-called agent was found guilty of giving money to delegates. There was bewilderment and anger. To the public, this was hypocrisy and double standards. Others paid heavy penalties by either being disallowed from competing in the party elections or charged in court for offences of corruption.
Khairy became toxic!
There were also rumours that no strong action could be taken against Khairy, because his election was the agreed farewell gift for Badawi in exchange for a smooth transition. Some called it blackmail!

i was broken hearted when the result came in last night. the most anticipated post, Ketua Pemuda was given to the candidates who was deemed recently guilty of money politics with majority support. it is quite clear the perwakilan never wanted to learn and has put the slogan “Berani Berubah” to the lowest point of mockery. But who knows, maybe it is good, maybe it is bad.
maybe this is a good reason for JMD to continue fighting in cyber space until UMNO could restore its deserved good name. Away from corruption, away from money politic, away from candidates who has found guilty in money politic but still managed to secure the post. But for sure, PR now has leverage over BN after this Pemilihan.

Jebat’s fren, yes, KJ won. And he is the only winner. Celebrate all you want but the three-hunderd something votes would not mean much when you get out of that hall in PWTC. With that kind of reputation, tell me how KJ is going to help in the next three elections. In the hall, even the Pemuda UMNO was shouting rasuah! rasuah! Pemuda PKR and PAS would be even less friendlier than that, mind you.

Just wondering, have you always been pro KJ? Because, since 2004, I seldom met people who supported his actions back then.

How many times have PAS and DAP have been routed in General Election ? Yet, they are still around. Because of Anwar, the Opposition have been gaining strength.
Just because GE 12 didnt produce the expected result for BN/UMNO, you wrongly suppose that the death knell has tolled for UMNO.
For over 52 years, 11 General Elections have produced compelling victories for BN/UMNO. Since Mahathir took power, the voters have consistently refused to be swayed by Karpal, Nik Aziz and Kit Siang.
Whatever ills they claim that Mahahtir’s administration has caused, no one believed or no one was willing to stake their future and bet it with the triumvirate of Nik Aziz, Kit Siang and Karpal.
Have a bit of perspective la Jebat’s Fren.
If Mahathir was that bad for the country, BN would be routed every time they come to the polls. The result of not one but several GE shows otherwise. Do we not then conclude rightly that whatever the Oppsotion wanted to sell was not worthy of buying ?
Mahahtir has his faults, but his contributions outweigh whatever mistakes he made.

Hi jebat’s fren
I have been waiting for your response and it comes.
This bulan is definitely ‘a terang one’, since this is not an ‘anak bulan’ but a ‘Bapak Bulan’.
You are getting it all wrong. I do not think anyone is anti-Khairy or anti-anyone for not rhyme and reason. However, people who are honest and can think will anti just any politician who is dishonest, self-centred and corrupt in nature.
Apparently, you know about Mugabe and what has happened to his nation today? It is the end-result of fools who elected him into power. During his election campaign, the voters believe in his rhetoric that contained no substance. Do you want all Malaysians to suffer just like Mugabe’s? I think Malaysians in general are clever people, save for those who are money-hungry and blinded with false promises.
Do remember, Professor Albert Einstein was surrounded by fools because those fools could not understand the professor’s line of reasoning which was far ahead of its time. When those fools could not understand the professor, the poor professor was termed as a mad-man. The same scenario could be applied to our Tun. The mad ones are actually those who could not understand the Tun’s line of reasoning and projections.
Not only you are too lazy to entertain me about the subject of Tun but you are also, too lazy to find out before making an allegation that Tun was trying to build an empire. If that was his dream, very likely he would have groomed his children to take interest in politics at a very tender young age. Your allegation, at best, is wild.
We want UMNO to prosper along with other political parties and this can only happen, if all UMNO members are corrupt-free and think about the nation first. This important criteria should be adopted by all members from other political parties, too and not only UMNO. Self-interest has no place in politics and if it is allowed to go unchecked, Malaysia will be listed in eBay soon.

You did not make it in the UMNO youth elections.
Now, sit back and ask yourself about how your wife managed BALKIS and whether that was the way to capitalise on the trust mandated to you and your party during the time you were in power.
Not too late now – be honest and ask if you and your family were above GOD and the law to use public funds in the way it was reported in the media.
Try and see how you can make amends for these situations and why you had such behaviour when in power, as well as the use of public funds for very ‘narrow’ needs that did not benefit the rakyat.
Why did you not bother about the needs of the non-Malays but left it to MIC and MCA, Gerakan?
How can you call yourself then (at that time) that you were the leader of all citizens in Selangor when your wife and her group blatantly used public funds in the way it has been exposed in the media.
You still looking for reasons why BN lost in Selangor?
The latest revelations about BALKIS is just the tip of the iceberg. More will surely come. It will overshadow the cows, cars, and the semi-nude photos. You know very weel from your ‘fifth coloumns’ in the current state government that the cows did not go to the rich and famous but to poor people?
And the car – you have read the clarifications?
And the semi-nude photos, police have issued a warrant of arrest for a suspect believed to be now in Indonesia. Incidentally, thats where your earlier generation came from?
Come on now, try and tell us again why we should see you as a ‘service above self’ person and why you deserve a second chance?
Why do we have to accept that Selangor is the most developed state of Malaysia? Because of how you and your wife have been doing things when you were in power?
What development? The way BALKIS functioned – for the upliftment of living standards of the rakyat in Selangor?
UMNO was never intended to be a party for people like you and the corrupted ones. But why do you guys become so corrupt when you come to power? And why use UMNO for your selfish needs?
Its not in the party constitution that you have to transform like this. Yet you sold out the bumis in Selangor, especially the simple folks who mean no harm to others and who could live peacefully with other ethnic groups for many years.
If you think no action will be taken against you and BALKIS members, please remember that you cannot escape when you face GOD finally.

DSNR has promised for change. Change for integrity, clean, efficient, people friendly, nation above self interest etc. With the lineup that he will be presented by UMNO assembly, he will have to show that he is serious in what he says.
We don’t need a reminder as to the baggage that KJ carries with him. But that is also true for DSNR. As much as the rest of the lineup with whatever historical baggage they carry that will be with DSNR after this assembly, the opposition will not relent in pointing all their knives onto DSNR primarily.
He has to appear to be whiter than white if he is going to be believed by the public. KuLi may have some points in saying that DSNR has to clear himself against all the accusation. He has to show that he really want the changes by subjecting himself unconditional to the process.
Once he has raised the bar beyond any doubt, then it will make the drive easier to be supported by the people. Either by making sure that his cabinet is truly a representation of his words or instituting systemic changes to ensure UMNO filters all the unwanted elements and promote a progressive members.

KJ needs to drive his ward to ensure effectiveness in the Umno Youth machinery. He had a well oiled machinery in the form of 300+ delegates. In order to affect good leadership, he needs more resources to pull 700,000 people together. Only then, he could tackle a wider target market – the voters in the next general election.

Dear Jebat Must Die,
Thank you for the compliment. Hopefully, we can now forget about party politics and focus for the greater good. My apologies if any of my comments on Dato Sak offended you, it was never my intention to do so.
To all anti Khairys out there – this victory shows that nothing is impossible. We may not like to admit it, but KJ had it tough with him getting whacked from all corners of the globe. But his friends and family stuck together and so did the Setiakawan supporters in Pemuda UMNO. Its an underdog story, a giant killing result in football terms.
JMD : No hard feelings. We did what we must based on our views. In the Pemuda side, all three had it tough. All three faced their own set of criticisms. But eventually there is only one winner. One have to be gracious in defeat. More importantly, one has to be magnanimous when victory was achieved. Selflessness is a trait most Umno leaders do not have these days.
I suggest all pro KJ blogs to focus more of their energy against the Pakatan Rakyat from now on. This blog was disappointed that when the weaknesses of the opposition were highlighted here, not one pro KJ supporter blogger would chip in on this bigger cause.
Focussing inwardly and being self centred had allowed other people to take advantage of the situation. There will be more damning criticisms to come. Hope KJ will be ready for it and can fight that onslaught. I am confident that you and Datuk Ariff can soak all that up. Your responsibility does not stop as soon as KJ won his post. There will be heavier tasks ahead. I am dissapointed to note that right after he won the post, many of his underlings began to arrogate themselves as the main recipients of spoils of war and what they will get hereafter. Like I said, responsibility does not stop last night. It was only the beginning. The Umno motto of Demi Bangsa, Agama dan Negara that KJ had shouted is not an empty slogan.
BN as a whole needs a new formula to win the hearts of the voters. I do hope pro KJ bloggers will churn out more articles on how to win the next 3 by elections. That is the immediate step I reckon. Thank you.

The result was really out of expectation. Regardless of who has been elected, what is most disturbing is the speech delivered by various representatives which I felt is detestable and disgusting
Firstly, the speech delivered by Melacca representative, Hasnoor Sdg Husin who had analyzed the failure of UMNO during 308. He mentioned that money politic is not the main cause for the loss of UMNO during 308. Instead he blamed on the open criticism towards the money politic that has caused their downfall. What kind of logic is that??? A thief blamed the prosecutor for exposing his crime. Oh gosh!
Furthermore, he even proposed that prominent positions in government owned companies and university should be granted to UMNO members to promote the love for UMNO among the youngsters??? Preposterous!!!!! When Pak Lah is denouncing corruption, he is opening another door of doom for UMNO.
His another proposal was even worst. He proposed that Malaysian should be divided into first and second degree citizens as he reasoned as a measure against the challenge of bumiputra rights by the non-malays. I can’t believe with my own eyes when i read the news report. Another apartheid?
There are many more inflammable speech by other UMNO representatives that I found are the omen for the downfall of UMNO. They represented the grassroot and yet they endorsed corruption, racisim, superiority, domination over others and finally failure to repent on their errors. With such divergent reactionsfrom both the grassroot and the leaders, I can only make a conclusion.
The leaders really lead by example
JMD : Quoting from small time leader from Bukit Katil is indeed quite fair. But what would have been fairer if you had analysed Najib’s and Pak Lah’s speeches too. Those are the more important ones.
As you know, the delegates made their speeches as a debate on what the president and deputy had laid upon in their policy speech (Ucapan Dasar). Then, they will propose their own ideas which will be evaluated by the top leaders.
I admit that most of the ideas are nothing great. Only a few will get the attention of the policy makers. But if you listen to what Hasnoor had said about money politics, he was actually saying that money politics had been in the party for a long time but the leadership managed to solve those problem without exposing too much dirty linen in public. That will be detrimental to the party in the long run. I do not think he condones money politics. To him money politics is just a cause but not the main cause of the dismal performance in the last general election. I agree totally with him. Weak leadership was the main cause. Anyway, he was saying that weaknesses of the party must be managed well without putting the party in trouble. Much like how Anwar Ibrahim covering up for the PR leaders in Penang recently. I remember he said that proper channels in the party are to be used when corruption charges are to be reported instead of telling the mass media about it.
Now that is a good public relations management. Anwar is saying, cases of corruption or misconduct should be dealt internally first.
As for his other suggestion, well I guess that is only normal when non Umno members had kept on raising the issue of Article 153 incessantly. He, as an Umno member will naturally react to that. It is natural. It is just political talk. Just like what both end of the political spectrum have been saying. If you cannot be tolerant to each other then this is the kind of reaction people will normally do. On that note, I doubt that his proposal will be taken seriously by the top leaders though.
It is sad that only after listening to one or two speeches from delegates, the whole leadership of Umno is wrongly accused as condoning money politics (I seriously doubt this is true), racism, superiority, domination over others and finally failure to repent on their errors. One sparrow doesn’t make a summer. Please read the opening speeches of Pak Lah and Najib. Those are the real Umno policy speeches.
Have a listen to the kinds of ideas the lower rung delegates in PAS’ Muktamar, DAP’s National Congress and PKR convention had churned out all these years too. You will be surprised with them as well.
Thank you.

JMD,
Personally. i think KJ given the chance can make changes. He is still young and is beginning to mature politically and i must say his closing speech was good that UMNO is a party for malays but must be well accepted by other races and prove relevant to them too.
He offers something new to young voters, but the Boys on the Hill must be able to tolerate some form of liberalisation but with cautious intent. Lifestyle issues, growing pains, education, 1st time employment, 2nd chance programmes and sports are akin to people of Khairy’s age.
This is where i see KJ gets ahead of MM and KT. both will be well over 45 going into midlife by 2013, whilst KJ will only be hitting 36. Let this people judge KJ. He is relevant to this demographic, and until and when more Malay professionals as smart or smarter then KJ populate the party, we should throw our support behind him and give him an oppurtunity. if he sucks, then he will be dealt with at the ballot box. Its still early days.
This is the age of tolerance after all not be all end all. Thanks.

Salam JMD.
setuju dengan link tuan. ‘maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.’
satu yang saya nampak kat sini adalah orang yang ada hak mengundi tidak menunaikan amanah yang diberikan kepada mereka untuk mengundi calon yang bahagian mereka pilih. sudah tiba masa setiap ahli UMNO boleh memilih calon yang mereka suka, macam pilihanraya sebenar. setiap ahli mempunyai hak memberitahui terus kepada parti siapa yang mereka suka, bukan diamanahkan hak mereka kepada beberapa orang perwakilan dari bahagian mereka. saya pasti hasil undian itu adalah pilihan peribadi orang yang diberi hak mengundi, BUKAN pilihan yang dipersetujui di mesyuarat bahagian.
lihat saja betapa gembira orang seperti Jebat Fren atas kemenangan KJ. apa tidaknya, banyaklah peluang untuk mengutuk UMNO dan BN.
pada orang yang menang, jangan nak suka sangat. anda mendapat undi yang banyak kerana sistem mengundi berpihak kepada anda, itu saja. baru menang, dah ramai orang kutuk. sampai kena iring dengan polis. itu masih lagi dalam kawasan persidangan. belum lagi di bahagian. cuba buka mata dan hati untuk melihat berapa ramai yang menyokong anda sebenarnya. bila dah terpilih, diharap anda akan bekerja sekuat mana anda berkempen, ya? we want to see you walk the talk. prove us wrong in doubting you.
lagi satu yang saya nampak adalah orang-orang yang ‘berakal’, pada pandangan saya, sebagai contoh seperti Dr Rais Yatim tidak terpilih. ini pada saya menunjukkan tahap mentaliti ramai (bukan semua tapi ramai) ahli perwakilan, ahli UMNO (atau Melayu?). tidak suka merenung dan berfikir lebih dalam sesuatu isu. suka gempak-gempak. itu sebab kj atau anwar popular. saya rasa kalau JMD bertandingpun pasti kalah, walau kepala bergeliga dan dapat membuat kerja untuk masyarakat dengan cemerlang. kalah bukan bermakna seseorang calon itu bukan yang terbaik untuk sesuatu perjuangan tapi kalah kerana nilai-nilai yang dipegang dan dibawanya kurang persamaan dengan orang yang mengundi.
sekali lagi setuju dengan cerita dari link tuan. ‘maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.’ walau apa-apapun, kita harus belajar dan memperbaiki jika kita tersilap dan bersyukur jika kita menemui kebenaran. selepas ini banyak yang perlu direnung dan diubah untuk menjadikan tanah air ini harmoni, maju dan dirahmati untuk kita dan generasi akan datang. yang penting pastikan ‘target’ kita dan kita semua bergerak ke arahnya bersama.

I suppose whatever feelings we might have over the choice of candidates, the contest is over, the dye is cast and we need to close ranks.
The election process will always bring about results that will never completely satisfy everyone. That is just how it is.
History has shown that, you might win today and lose tomorrow. Ghafar, Musa, Razaleigh, Anwar was just one small step from the top but never made it to the top. We have to keep the faith that somehow, hopefully and miraculously, the necessary correction will be made. Mahathir once said there is never a permanent friend or permanent enemy in politics, sekali air bah sekali pantai berubah.
History has also shown that elected leaders deemed “clean” today might be “corrupted” tomorrow, Badawi is a prime candidate. The perceived “ultra Malay” which was what Mahathir was viewed back then might be viewed at some other time in history as “liberal Malay”. The “fundamentalist Islamic” which was what Anwar was perceived back then changed into something unrecognisable at some other date in history.
Political expediency, power, money and host of other environmental factors affect their directions in life, be it political or personal.
UMNO members must realise that the battle is out there against the Opposition and not against one another.
Whatever misgivings we have about money politics, we have to accept that it is how the world works. I am not condoning it, I am just saying things that is. Look at politics at the epicenter of the world, America. Pork barrel politics, political donations made by interest groups, decisions whether to go to war are all based on money. Lim Guan Eng’s first move when he was appointed CM was to dismantle the quota system for tendering. He needs to be friendly with the business community in Penang. Clever move.
I have friends who do legal work for Opposition parties. We joke about it and we say it is about the degree of taking. PAS is cheaper and UMNO is more expensive.

It was a huge relief last night when Tan Sri Muhyiddin was announced as the new Deputy President of Umno. However, the disappointment with the election of KJ as the Ketua Pemuda still lingered strongly. Even my friends who are just home makers, my non-Malays friends and non-partisan friends were disappointed with the choice made by the Pemuda Umno delegation. Why KJ? Definitely, KJ is not the choice of the grassroot.
It shows that the Pemuda Umno is lacking in maturity, quality and credibility. It is worrying as they are going to inherit the leadership of Umno in the future. I hope the leadership of Umno will look into this matter seriously. My biggest hope is for KJ to repent and be a leader in its true sense. I hope he will not spoil the Pemuda further with ‘money politics’ and change his lifestyle to reflect a Muslim leader. If KJ ‘berani berubah’ then he has a bright future. If not, he will be ‘penderhaka kepada Agama, Bangsa, Negara dan Parti Keramat Umno’.

“Yang itu (tarikh peralihan kuasa) tak payah tanya, saya akan bagi tau bila-bila saya suka,” katanya.
Timbalannya, Najib sebelum ini dinamakan sebagai penggantinya dan peralihan kuasa itu dilaporkan sebelum ini akan diadakan pada Mac ini.
Mengulas kenyataan Menteri Luar Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim bahawa semua menteri-menteri di bawah pimpinan Abdullah secara teknikalnya turut dianggap meletak jawatan selepas beliau (Abdullah) meletak jawatan, Abdullah berkata: “Masa zaman saya dulu pun (Tan Sri) Lim Keng Yaik (bekas menteri kabinet) pun kata begitu juga, tapi tak jadi apa pun, bukan boleh paksa.”

Dua hari berturut-turut Khairy perasuah kena boo
Sudahlah selepas memenangi jawatan Ketua Pemuda, Khairy perasuah telah disorak “KJ! …Rasuah!…”
Semalam semasa namanya disebut oleh juruacara sebelum mengundi oleh Pengerusi Mesyuarat, dia telah di boo oleh para-para perwakilan yang hadhir. Hari ini, ada seorang jurubahas dari Pemuda Kelantan yang cuba menyebut nama Khairy perasuah, sekali lagi namanya di boo.
Pasti pada hari terakhir, dia akan berucap dalam sesi penggulungan. Kemungkinan sekali lagi, dia akan menerima di boo.
Walaupun kalah, sepanjang dua hari semalam dan hari ini, baik Dato Mukhriz atau Dato Seri Dr Khir Toyo mendapat sambutan baik dari perwakilan atau hadhiran di PWTC.
Bisikan-bisikan di PWTC mengatakan sudah ada laporan polis mengenai salahlaku politik wang Khairy perasuah. Pagi tadi, blog bigdogdotom melaporkan ada ura-ura hari ini atau besok akan ada laporan polis satu lagi terhadap Khairy perasuah.
Kenapa teruk sekali reaksi pelbagai pihak kepada kekalahan?
Buat setakat ini, hampir semua perwakilan dan pemberi sumber maklumat dalaman mengatakan Khairy perasuah menang kerana kesetiaan kepada Agong pertama (diatas kertas.)
Diberitahu bahawa kumpulan Khairy perasuah menawarkan wang kepada mereka yang mengundinya sejumlah RM10,000 ke RM30,000 bergantung kepada kecondongan mereka kepada calun pesaing.
Cara duit itu diberi adalah sebahagian dibayar sebelum dan selebihnya setelah mereka memberikan undi. Untuk mengesahkan undi telah sah diberikan kepada Khairy perasuah, perwakilan yang mengundi dikatakan membuka kertas undi untuk dapat dilihat jelas oleh orang-orang tertentu yang menjadi wakil Pengesah Khairy perasuah.
Selepas Najib menyebut “Berani Berubah” dalam ucapannya pada malam Selasa, pihak Khairy perasuah dikatakan telah bekerja keras dengan operasi carpet bombing malam itu. Selain pemberian di pusat operasi Lubuk Khairy perasuah di Hotel Corus, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, satu sumber memberitahu penyerahan juga dilakukan malam itu di sebuah Hotel di Shah Alam.
Pembayaran selebihnya dilakukan semalam di satu lokasi yang perlu di rahsiakan dahulu.
Selain itu, kebanyakkan pihak yang veteran dalam hel ehwal UMNO mengatakan sangat anih pengiraan untuk hanya 790 undi memakan masa hampir enam jam. Pelbagai boleh disyaki. Ramai difahami bahawa keputusan menjadi lambat disebabkan beberapa kali recount.
Yang hairannya, recount selalu berlaku apabila keputusan agak rapat dan untuk kepastian. Apabila ianya diumumkan, ramai hairan jauhnya jumlah undi Khairy yang melebihi 50 undi berbanding dengan Dr Khir dan hampir 70-80 undi dari Mukhriz.
Satu sumber memberitahu bahawa ada keanihan apabila satu kotak terakhir dipenuhi oleh undi Khairy perasuah sahaja.
Adakah ini sebabnya penyokong-penyokong baik dari Mukhriz atau Dr Khir Toyo naik birang hingga menyorakkan Khairy perasuah sebagai perasuah dan perwakilan-perwakilan menyorak boo dua hari berturut-turut?
Selalunya orang biasa menerima kekalahan, tetapi marah hingga naik birang jika ditipu.
Samada laporan polis dan SPRM akan benar berakhir dengan nasib Khairy perasuah seperti yang dialami oleh Tan Sri Isa Samad, itu bakal memakan masa.
Bagaimana Khairy perasuah akan merapatkan barisan Pemuda UMNO yang majoritinya adalah yang tidak menyokong Khairy perasuah? Lebih segera, bagaimana Khairy akan dapat menyediakan jentera Pemdua untuk pilihanraya kecil di Bukit Gantang dan Bukit Selambau dengan dirinya tidak diterima?
Kalau benar ini semua berlaku, kenapa cara dilakukan hingga menimbulkan keyakinan penipuan dan rasuah sudah berlaku? Dalam zaman Internet dan SMS, sesuatu mudah disebarkan.

Correct me if I am wrong. For all the top party positions those who had received the highest nominations translated those nominations to being voted in. Not insinuating here but KJ must have made major inroads to have clinched the deal.
I had stated in my blog that Datuk Khir would be the king maker in the Youth Prez post. It turned out that he became the split voter. However it would only be speculation where his votes would have gone. All that is moot now that KJ has won.
In as far as the party (UMNO) is concerned, it will always be the backbone of the country as it is acceptable by the majority of all races. Elections since Indepence have proven so.
It was only in the last GE because of weak leadership in UMNO, where the party seemed to has lost its direction, that the opposition took full advantage of for BN to fare so miserably.
Truth be told, I feel a little bit uncomfortable with Datuk Najib at the helm but thats what many felt when Tun Razak and our dearest Tun MM became prez and PMs.
He has to rejuvenate the party with the welfare of not only the Malays but the other races as well. One does not necessirily have to be a Malay or be a member to support the party. After all, not all Malays support the party.
What is interesting is Datuk Hishamuddin’s ascendency which strengthens and continues the Noah family’s unbroken chain of influence/tradition in the party. It does not forebode well for Tan Sri Muhyiddin.
All in all, like Randy Jackson would say ala American Idol, “I don’t know man”

JMD : I read with glee the other day when an Umno Youth delegate named Zain Yasim said that ‘as delegates, we know how to select the best leader for all of us’.
To me, that is a wrong perception of Umno democracy and also trying to justify the unjustifiable (how on earth did the delegates vote differently from the nominations received by candidates? Were there any external factors that caused the votes to sway?).
During the assembly, he and the rest of the delegates no longer care what the grassroot wants. And this is the crux of the problem.
They, the per’wakil’an are the representatives of the ordinary members that had nominated the leaders during the last divisional meetings. The grassroots ‘delegate’ to these representatives the responsibility to choose the leaders they had nominated during the divisional meeting DURING the Umno General Assembly.
That is the true spirit of Umno’s assembly. I guess the delegates forgot to listen to their own folks at the division levels and had instead listened to the sounds of other external factors.
Who are these delegates that had confidently said that they know how to choose? Are they experts in leadership field? Or are they professionals?

Aduh! Aduh! Aduh!
Kata-kata mu,

Perbuatan mu,

Know what I’m sayin’?
It’s as if there’s this concerted effort among some bloggers to sell the idea to the RAKYAT that KJ is THE UMNO gladiator and thus, the savior of UMNO. They have been working along the same tired line since his “Debutante Ball” – that he must be a genius (Huh?) since he graduated from Oxford (Duh!) and that he can really flap his lips on the word “Go!” (Double Duh!). I don’t know about you guys, but aren’t you all beginning to arrive to some sort of conclusion that KJ has stopped progressing in a meaningful and decent way since his graduation?
These bloggers are clearly showing symptoms of selective amnesia. They conveniently push aside the numerous wrongdoings that has been consistently conducted by KJ – the latest being caught with his pants down with corruption. His adoring fans are even saying that UMNO desperately needs a leader who has his eyes on the ball at all times and at any given opportunity has the ability & dexterity to grab it. Hasn’t this PM-wannabe been doing that all along and hasn’t his grabby nature regularly keeps him in the limelight for all the wrong reasons?
If I were the opposition, I would much prefer KJ to be appointed as a minister so that he can continuously do what he does best i.e to muck things up as usual. This will ensure easy victory for the PR in the next election. The praises that are being heaped on KJ in some blogs begin to make sense when I start thinking like the oppositions or YB KJ himself. I would be praising KJ too from dawn to dusk.
As far as I am concerned, KJ is a man who is in a real hurry. He plays by only one rule i.e. “There’s no rule”.

We must not forget the many people he have bullied and cajoled in the name of the father of in law that may just have had enough or may just be pay back time. They may instruct people not to support his programmes or to attend his events and this time without the backing from his father in law he may just realise for the first time that life is difficult.
The guy is a spoilt guy that is used to getting everything, and I mean everything that he wants. When reality really sets in I wonder if he will actually throw a tantrum. His next target will be the actual Presidency itself and eventually the Prime Ministership.
Until such time he actually shows leadership quality and not the quality of knowing only to wave cash and father inlaw’s influence and power he is not worthy of trust nor respect.
After tackling the UMNO members he have now to tackle the Malaysians at large. Many remain unconvinced that he will be good for the country. He may have the quality and charisma before, but now he is just tainted by the perception of abuse of power and influence.
By and large I am not sure he will, based on his acceptance speech and winding up speech he remains arrogant and too full of himself. Still the spoilt child overly pleased with getting what he wants.
Take care JMD.
