UMNO Bloggers mostly silent on Perkasa Youth call

I want to start by praising the Head of the Perkasa Youth, Irwan Fahmi Ideris, who stated his opinion plainly and simply. Irwan made it clear that Dato Seri Najib should resign because in his opinion, Dato Seri Najib had failed to show adequate gratitude to the Malay electorate Instead Irwan accuses the PM of pandering to the non-Malay electorate in spite of them having ditched the BN coalition at the last general election.

Simple, straight to the point and no beating around the bush.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, as blogger WZWH has said - "dalam Malaysia semua bebas bersuara, semua bebas berdemo." Irwan made it very clear and there is no subtleties to it, no hidden messages, no nuances - just a straight ultimatum.

To which he has been condemned somewhat by pro PM politicians and bloggers. The most vocal of the critics was the UMNO Youth Head, Khairy Jamaluddin who hammered Irwan by accusing Perkasa Youth of having no local standi in politics and even denigrating the Perkasa President, Ibrahim Ali, for not even being able to win a parliament election. In the blogging world, a few of the small minor blogs have lambasted Irwan, but most of the major top ranking blogs have kept quiet. Instead, they are more focused on playing up stories that criticise the PM's advisers and advisory bodies.

News to them - Dato Seri Najib orders advice he likes and shuns advice he does not like. He is completely Western in his outlook and shares 0 commonality with Tun Dr Mahathir. He chose those around him to be like him and not to be like someone else. The advice he gets is the advice he wants, attacking his advisers is akin to attacking him.

But the pro UMNO bloggers dare not attack him directly because right now there is no "dollar" win. As it stands, Dato Seri Najib will be returned as UMNO President and to attack the President will mean an end to access to UMNO and the ability to make some money on the side. Thus economic arguments have caused them to instead engage in a "dirty war" whereby they invite commentators to attack Najib in the comment box as they feed them with the necessary ammunition.

Most of this ammunition stems from their "dissatisfaction with the PM's advisers." Okay, lets be specific - which exact policy introduced by Dato Seri Najib's Pemandu club has been the cause?

The answer - ZERO.

If you want to disagree  with Pemandu, at least name a policy . What is it do you disagree with them? Which policy introduced by the Government has caused a loss to the Malay community? I can tell you - the answer is ZERO because no way can that policy be presented in Cabinet without being shelled into pieces by the other Cabinet Ministers.

So stop with the dramatics and answer the simple question. Are you with Najib or against him.

An advice to, Najib underlining policy should be in covenant before consensus:  All policies are revealed good to ethnic Malays are also good to the other ethnics. The others good are complementary to the good for all selves goodness in the making, an act of covenant, for a better Malaysia.
