Barisan Nasional and UMNO President, Zahid Hamidi, cannot dismiss his MIC Assembly speech lightly and must explain its real intent and meaning as it was UMNO and Barisan Nasional’s “declaration of war” for the 15th General Election
When Zahid spoke a week ago last Monday, he knew that Parliament was going to be dissolved that day, and he spelt out what the 15th General Election meant for UMNO and BN.
He said:
“Candidates from MIC, Umno, MCA and PBRS have to win in a dominant fashion. It’s now or never. This election is the mother of all general elections. If we fail, our fate will be worse than the last election.
“Right now, only I will be charged, Tok Mat (Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan), you are on the waiting list, Vicky (MIC president SA Vigneswaran) don’t laugh, you are also included. What more (MIC deputy president M) Saravanan?
“(MCA president Wee) Ka Siong? They won’t forget you. You will be charged as well. (Defence minister) Hisham (Hishammuddin Hussein), don’t smile.
“To avoid this, we have to win in a dominant manner, my brothers and sisters.”
Zahid complained that his MIC Assembly speech had been “spun” by his opponents.
I am not aware that the Perlis Mufti, Mohd Asri Zainal was one of his “opponent” as the Perlis Mufti had tweeted:
“Terkesima mendengar, bagaimana secara terang orang politik boleh mengaku tujuan untuk menang PRU adalah bagi mengelakkan kes rasuah mereka dibicarakan di mahkamah. Jika itu berlaku, negara ini akan jadi SYURGA RASUAH”
(“Stunned after hearing how a politician can openly admit [that his political party/coalition] has to win the general election to avoid corruption charges against them. If that happens, this country will become a haven for corruption.”)
Secondly, he said his MIC assembly speech is being manipulated and taken in bits and pieces to be used for the purpose of slander when the “real context” of his speech was that BN leaders are at risk of political prosecution if the opposition wins GE15.
A week has passed but Zahid has failed to explain how his MIC Assembly speech was being “spun”!
How will the fate of UMNO and BN leaders be “worse than the last election” if UMNO and BN fail to form the government?
What has happened is that Zahid was spinning his own MIC Assembly speech.
Any reasonably sane viewer of Zahid’s speech can clearly see that his naming of the UMNO and Barisan Nasional leaders was a serious affair, suggesting that Zahid knew of their criminal culpabilities as to be in the “waiting list” to be charged in court.
Zahid must come forward to explain whether UMNO Deputy President, Mohamad Hassan, UMNO Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, MCA President, Wee Ka Siong, MIC President SA Vigneswaran and MIC Deputy President M Saravanan are on the “waiting list” to be charged in court, and if so, what are these charges, and whose “waiting list” – the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, the Police or the Attorney-General’s Chambers?
Or was Zahid telling a pack of lies in the UMNO and Barisan Nasional’s “declaration of war” for the 15th General Election and that he was not to be taken seriously, whatever he says?
