UMNO leaders are getting very desperate and blatant – they attack the judiciary for the former Prime Minister Najib Razak going to jail instead of condemning corruption and they want early general election even to “wade through floods” to tell the world that 1MDB scandal is not a corruption scandal.

The UMNO President Zahid Hamidi made “twists and turns” trying to explain his speech at the launch of the BN machinery in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday on UMNO’s preparedness to “wade through floods” in the 15GE.

The change in UMNO character from UMNO’s founding days could been seen from Zahid’s speech last Saturday, for none of the first four UMNO Presidents, Onn Jaafar, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak Hussein and Hussein Onn would have made such a speech to utterly disregard the loss to human lives and great loss of property in a monsoon and floods season. Last year alone, 54 lives were lost and RM6.5 billion losses of property were incurred.

And the first four UMNO Presidents would be in the forefront to condemn corruption which Zahid had signally failed to do last Saturday.

Would Zahid be believed if he had declared war against corruption in the 15GE?

So far, neither UMNO nor BN have taken a stand that the 15GE should not be held during the monsoon and floods season.

Even the MCA President, Wee Ka Siong, dare not take such a stand. All that he would say is that MCA must be prepared to face any eventuality that may play out.

The reason why MCA is not prepared to take a stand that the 15GE should not be held during the monsoon and floods season is clear – not to step on the toes of “kleptocratic” UMNO!

Will UMNO and BN take a stand that 15GE should not be held during the monsoon and floods season after Zahid’s disastrous speech at the BN launch last Saturday?

This is a test for UMNO and BN!
