	UMNO-REFORM MENERUSKAN PERJUANGAN MELAYU
		Kehadiran mereka yang begitu ramai ini menunjukkan bahawa mereka dengan berani menolak sebarang amaran oleh pihak polis untuk menyatakan bantahan mereka kepada Yang Di Pertuan Agung mengenai pengendalian pilihan raya Malaysia.
		Lagi pun orang UMNO sudah tahu bahawa Abdullah Hj Ahmad adalah beban kepada UMNO menjelang 60 tahun.
		Mungkin, kita tidak mahu orang melihat sokongan pembangkang yang semakin membengkak kerana ada kepimpinan kita dalam UMNO tidak terbuka minda mereka.

	History of Malaysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1963 Malaya became Malaysia with the acquisition of the British territories in North Borneo and Singapore.
		Malaysia’s rapid economic progress since 1970, which was only temporarily disrupted by the Asian financial crisis of 1997, has not been matched by change in Malaysian politics.
		Malaysia has had regular elections since 1974, and although campaigning is reasonably free at election time, it is in effect a one-party state, with the UMNO-controlled National Front usually winning nearly all the seats, while the DAP wins some Chinese urban seats and the PAS some rural Malay ones.

		Rafidah berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas cadangan Ketua Pergerakan Puteri Datuk Noraini Ahmad supaya wanita berusia 18 hingga 35 tahun yang baru mendaftar sebagai anggota UMNO secara automatik diserapkan menjadi anggota Puteri.
		"Wanita UMNO mesti berani memupuk, membimbing dan menyokong generasi pemimpin wanita yang berkebolehan, sama ada yang berpengalaman mahupun yang muda, untuk diberi peluang dipilih atau dilantik ke cawangan, bahagian, negeri dan Majlis Tertinggi," katanya ketika membahaskan usul terima kasih ucapan dasar ketua pergerakan itu pada Perhimpunan Agung Wanita UMNO di sini hari ini.

	United Malays National Organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 25 June 1987, an appeal was filed by 12 of the UMNO delegates (one of whom, Hussain bin Manap, withdrew unexpectedly in August) to have the assembly and the election of April 1987 declared null.
		UMNO Malaysia was supported mainly by members of the Team B faction from UMNO, but Mahathir was also invited to join the party leadership.
		UMNO sees itself as representing the Malays and Muslims of Malaysia, although any Bumiputra (indigenous Malaysian, a category which includes people such as the non-Malay and usually non-Muslim Kadazan, Iban, Dayak, etc. of East Malaysia) may join the party.

		The Umno general assembly ushered in Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as their new president and deputy president but the talking point of the three-day gathering was the outcome of the party elections.
		Umno disciplinary board chairman Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen Tengku Ismail said this was aimed at overcoming shortcomings in dealing with complaints of misconduct during party elections.
		Umno has been in existence since 1946, or so it claims, though it was actually formed in the late 1980s when the old Umno was deregistered.

		There is a growing view that UMNO has become a party of the elite, tied too closely to certain big businessmen, and that UMNO leadership's concerns are not the concerns of the Malay heartland.
		Stories are told of UMNO politicians arriving in the villages in their airconditioned Mercedes Benz's, making speeches on subjects of little interest to their listeners - like the evils of the international trade and financial system -- and then returning to KL.
		Malaysia does not need to hold elections for another five years, and by then there will be 1.5 million new voters - in general younger, more educated, more sophisticated, and more Islamic - and that is a sufficient number of voters to tip the electoral scales one way or another.

		When Umno was deregistered by the Registrar of Societies in 1987, Tunku took the lead in an attempt to form a new Umno that he called Umno Malaysia.
		At the Umno Baru General Assembly in October last year, around a month after Anwar Ibrahim was released from jail, Umno Youth made a declaration that all those who had left Umno to join or support the opposition in opposing Umno are traitors to both Umno as well as the Malay race.
		Maybe the Umno Youth leader can be reminded of Umno Youth’s resolution in 2004 that declared all those who had left Umno to oppose the party as traitors to both Umno and the Malay race.

		Muslims in Malaysia once were subjected to Islamic personal law - marriage, divorce, inheritance and the like - but over the years the shariah came to be introduced, with the non-Malay and non-Muslim parties in BN not objecting to it.
		UMNO and PAS face the same internal convulsions over Islam: in UMNO a resentment for discarding the Malay cultural constituency, in PAS for allowing culture to intrude and welcoming as members those with a more cosmopolitan Islamic worldview.
		UMNO could find itself unable to return to its cultural constituency and may not have much of an impact in the Islamic heartland.

		UMNO-owned and controlled Utusan Malaysia today carried a most offensive, inflammatory and provocative article by Rozaman Ismail virtually questioning the trust and loyalty of the Malaysian Chinese because of the Chinese voter-swing to the Barisan Alternative and the election of Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as State Assemblyman in the Lunas by-election on Wednesday.
		Right from the beginning, UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders had conceded that the Chinese voters in Lunas are the critical factor in the Lunas by-election.
		UMNO Youth leader, Datuk Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, for instance, said before the Lunas by-election nomination day that UMNO Youth admitted that the key to winning the Lunas by-election state seat lay with the Chinese voters although they formed only 38 per cent of the electorate.

		Isa, 56, who serves in the cabinet as federal territories minister, is the most senior UMNO politician to be found guilty of corruption and breaching the party's code of ethics.
		Officials said that if the suspension was upheld, he would be stripped of his vice president role and UMNO membership, but retain his status as a member of parliament.
		His deputy in the party and in government is seen as the heir apparent while the three vice presidents form the next rank in the line-up.

		Being an UMNO website, Umno-jihad.com is of course full of praises about the achievements of UMNO in the state-sponsored Islamisation race that has been in vogue in Malaysia for the past two decades at least.
		Just when UMNO is trying to claim the credit for leading the struggle against the so-called 'international Jewish conspiracy' against Islam, the Malaysian authorities have clamped down on Islamists who have been protesting against zionist excesses in Palestine.
		The protest was a major political embarrassment for Malaysia at the time, and the authorities chose to act against the organisers of the anti-zionist rally with force.

		This feeling was strengthened by the fact that Semangat 46’s “perjuangan” was the “restoration” of the “original” Umno and that it had attempted to register itself as “Umno Malaysia” -- and only after the name was rejected by the Registrar of Societies did it change to Semangat 46.
		Their struggle, claimed its leaders, was to revive the old Umno and oust the pretender to the throne, Umno Baru.
		Umno had invited PAS into the BN marriage only to cripple it once it was part of the government.

		Zulkifli Alwi, UMNO Youth's assistant secretary, reckons some members were so angry at the party that, besides voting for the opposition, they deliberately spoiled their ballots or did not vote at all.
		To that end, Zulkifli says, UMNO Youth leaders plan to ask party brass to waive a requirement that one must be a member for three years before being tipped for a national role.

		Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, who is also Umno deputy president, was addressing the party's women and youth wings ahead of Thursday's Umno general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.
		Over long decades, many of Umno's members have ruthlessly exploited the opportunities of patronage and commercial enrichment that the party's virtually unchallenged grip on power made available to them.

		In the face of a creeping Islamization, non-Malays and social activists have recently pressured Malaysia's UMNO leadership to grant equal rights to all of the country's citizens regardless of race or religion - as is guaranteed under the federal constitution.
		Oddly, UMNO was once a progressive party, championing what seemed a viable vision to improve equity among the races.
		Following UMNO's example, all of Malaysia's major political parties are explicitly race-based, and all have been known to play the race card to shore up their support bases.

		Ten years after this 30-year vision, the Opposition Front was spearheading this concept of a Bangsa Malaysia while the ruling National front was backtracking to a throwback of the politics of race and religion, desperately trying to keep Malaysians in their separate ethnic and religious compartments.
		After all, Malaysia is not like Iraq or Iran which are overwhelmingly Islamic nations whose Muslim people ranges from 95 to 97 per cent of their population.
		In Malaysia, less than 60 per cent of the population are Muslims and it cannot be said that the majority of the Muslims support the concept of an Islamic state for Malaysia.

		Anwar, in fact, is grateful to Badawi for contributing to his release, in a sense, by not interfering with the judiciary and leaving it entirely to the judges to decide on his fate, based entirely on points of law.
		Anwar still has a good relationship with most UMNO leaders, and as Mahathir increasingly loses his grip on the party, Anwar would have no problems working with the UMNO leaders, even though he is out of the party.
		Malaysia will never be just or fully democratic until the people want this to happen, and the people, though they realize Malaysia is not democratic, are prepared to let the present government remain in power as long as the economy is still strong.
