Errr...WTF is happening?

I got a call from a friend who is a Johor Umno member after this story came out this afternoon,

Media to be blacked out of Umno general assembly


"Hey, what's happening?" he asked.

How the hell would I know.

I'm not even an Umno member, okay.

I think Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor who made the announcement is the only one who can answer that.


True enough, not long after that today, this story came out,

And Zahid says Umno media ban hasn’t been discussed


I can't help but admit that it was my turn to say, "Hey, what the f@#k is happening?"

Obviously DS Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the currently second most powerful Umno leader was not sure what Ku Nan was talking about.

Must be some sorts of communication breakdown.

I suspect the decision to ban media coverage for the Umno general assembly was made by people at the Umno headquarters.

As I previously wrote, I don't really like those people. They are not near clever enough in many of their decisions.

Actually, earlier today, I was told that the big shot mainstream media bosses had been briefed on the ban this morning before the announcement by Ku Nan was made.

I wonder whether they protested against the decision or that they cowered in fear when told of the ban.

Well, I think they should protest.

It's not good for Umno's image, after all.

Evan DAP allowed the media (including the pro-establishment mainstream media) to cover their party assemblies.

Now people may likely say that Umno does not believe in Press freedom.

Even Umno members like my friend are starting to believe that.

I'm of the opinion that there are ways to counter the alleged spin by all those pro-opposition news portals instead of imposing a media ban.

The pro-establishment mainstream media can do that job.

After all, there are many smart and crafty ways it can be done.

For example, New Straits Times (NST) which has millions of readers, I was told,  can counter The Malaysian Insider's (TMI) alleged spins by churning out credible articles of highest quality which make the public realise that TMI is actually just trying to bullshit them.

I heard the NST people are very good in politics. Surely, their talents in politics can be fully utilised to neutralise TMI.

Well, I don't know lah, but that's how I see it.

Whatever it is, I hope Umno president DS Najib Razak, or at least Zahid can stop these sorts of nonsense which were not helping in projecting a good image of Umno.

  2. Ku Nan lebih rapat dengan Najib dari Zahid.
    Cakap ku nan lebih laku, power dan valid.

    Selain Muhyiddin dan Shafie, Zahid sendiri tidak terkecuali dari perlu diambilkira boleh menggugat keudukan Najib.

  4. Annie,
    Najib seorang pemimpin lemah dan korup disertai menteri menteri dan kuncu kuncunya yang berimankan jawatan dan kedudukan tidak akan bertindak berpandukan hikmah dan bijaksana , percaya la annie , menjelang 2 tahun lebih sebelum pilihan raya umum ke 14 , mereka ini termasuk najib akan sering melakukan kesilapan demi kesilapan sehingga mereka terlingkup menjelangPRU 14 , kesilapan yang sering dilakukan ini adalah kerana 3 faktor :

    1. Najib memang bersalah dalam isu isu yang diperkatakan sebelum ini terutama wang RM 2.6 billion berada didalam akaun peribadinya , beliau juga terpalit dengan pelbagai skandal yang masih menjadi tanda tanya. Semakin hari kepercayaan rakyat keatas kepimpinan beliau semakin kurang , beliau amat desperate dan lemah tapi dikelilingi kuncu kuncu yang korup maka beliau masih boleh bertahan.

    2. Kepimpinan dalam umno dan kerajaan majoritinya sudah tiada kualiti( tiada wisdom , tiada integriti dan korup) yang ada kualiti pun semakin tenggelam sebab di sideline , jadi sudah tentu kesilapan demi kesilapan akan sentiasa berlaku ini kerana perjuangan berimankan kedudukan , jawatan dan kekayaan.

    3. Kemungkinan pintu rahmat dan barakah sudah hampir nak tutup disebabkan parti umno tidak pernah mahu dibersih dan dipulihkan malah dikotorkan lagi dengan segala macam kontroversi dan skandal , sempati dari rakyat semakin menipis .

    Jadi Annie kita berdoalah untuk kesejahteraan rakyat , bagi pemimpin yang masih tidak mahu insaf dan masih mengutamakan kedudukan dan jawatan serta tidak indah nasihat dan rungutan orang awam biar la mereka mungkin dengan kehilangan kuasa dan masuk penjara baru nak sedar dari mimpi.

    1. Tanda-tanda hari terakhir UMNO menerajui politik negara memang jelas. Tindakan menekan atau menyingkir mana-mana pihak yang mnenjadi penghalang kepada niat jahat mereka adalah satu tindakan yang desperate.

      Rakyat telah diingatkan bahawa pemimpin yang zalim dan membohong, pengikut, penyokong serta pemilih mereka tidak akan diterima sebagai umat Nadi Muhammad SAW di akhirat nanti dan tidak akan berpeluang meminum air dari telaga Kautsar. makin ramai rakyat yang sedara bahawa ini adalah peluang ke syurga adalah adala satu perkara yang amat besar untuk dilacurkan dengan mengundi UMNO yang nyatanya zalim.

      Tiba masanya ahli UMNO sndiri sedar bahawa mereka semakin hari semakin menjauhkan diri dari rahmat Allah SW.

  5. Bila Annie dah mula mencarut, saya pasti Annie pun sudah meluat dengan UMNO. Dulu mahu menampakkan sikap berkecuali antara Dr.M & Najib kerana tak mahu orang Melayu berpecah-belah, walaupun dalam hati kecil lebih menyebelahi Dr.M.
    Saya, dari PAU 2013 lagi saya dah meluat habis bila KP yang dituduh rasuah pada PAU 2009, di lantik semula.
    Kali ini saya sudah 'bakar jambatan' bila UMNO sudah bertukar seperti DAP disebabkan 1MDB. Siapa yang tidak menunjukkan 'Love & affection' kepada President atau Tokong, akan dipecat keahlian UMNO jika sesaorang itu 'ikan bilis' dan tidak punyai pengaruh. Hanya Nepotisma saja yang UMNO belum praktikkan. Tak tahu lah selepas PAU 2015 'Tertutup' nanti. Silap-silap anak dia pun akan masuk bertanding jawatan.

    2. Nepotisma seperti mana yang di praktikkan dalam party anak-beranak PKR dan DAP, la Saudara eri.

      Baka dan keturunan, seperti George Walker Bush dan bapanya, George Herbert Walker Bush, tidak boleh dikira sebagai Nepotism.

  7. Plenty of comments on Islam in MI, adinda Ms Annie
    and together with a few other concerned readers, we had replied to the more ignorant articles and comments if not outright spin.

    We are not authorities on Islam and really wish JAKIM and NST are answering to counter them.

    3. Dear Haji Zin.

      Religion (Islam) is best, under the Istana. Of-course, through the Mufties. And to do that, the Mufti's office must be located in the Istana. Better still, if one day, the Sultan be the Mufti Himself. And to do that, all future heir to the Throne should be compelled to major religious education, if possible, from young. Of-course the study of political science too.

      Therefore, those anti-establishment and foreign funded media would not dare to spin any decree coming out from the Istana.

      Then we can separate religion from politics. That's what the West had done since Oliver Cromwell (1600), which end wars between their tribes and made them prosperous and mighty today. Unfortunately, the Muslim, prosperous and mighty then, had followed the white-men's dark footstep that they had discarded.

      If Haji Zin care to ponder, Oliver Cromwell's time was about 200 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad SAW. And that was when those so called 'Muslim Scholars' was abound and created many of the hadith that split them further apart into Sunnis and Shias.
      It all boils down to Money, just like PAN was created from the split in PAS. And PAS too, from the split in UMNO 1955, one year after Dong Zong was established.

    4. Chinese now united under HUA ZONG, Sdr ANON 01:40
      ( Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia )
      which has both Dong Zong and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as well as DAP, MCA
      and all Chinese organisations under it
      for total alignment in-sya-Allah of political and socio-economy strategies.

    5. Zin, they're not so united as it appears to be. Its because of 2 main factors:
      1. PAS religious radicalism
      2. Economic solidarity

      Other than that Chinese people are diverse in their views and aims in life. Chinese vernacular does not necessarily bring Chinese together.

    7. Not PAS but DAP evangelist leaders(?) Sdr ANON 15:43
      who position themselves as more Westernised-modern and condescending to majority B-CT Chinese

      They are also the ones especially Catholics whose grand plan is to instigate religious strive nauzubi'Llah amongst the Ibans and Kadazan-DMs who we can laud now as the most tolerant people in the world(?) or certainly compared to the Peninsula.

  8. Kerana takut dengan bayang-bayang.

    It is bad for Umno's democracy and a sort of denying the fundamental value of freedom, freedom of expression and information.

    Whereby the value of mass media system is to inform and empower the society, and to enhance democratic values.

    However, Umno's Supreme Council has its obligation but certainly has fractured the cardinal values of the democratic spirit in Umno, good luck to you Umno!
