UMNO oh UMNO!

Since Independence in 1957, any aspiring candidate to become the Prime Minister, must be an UMNO president. To be become an UMNO president, one has to be handpicked by the current president. Therefore, UMNO is the most undemocratic party in Malaysia, how do you label such tradition, empirism? cronyism? dictatorship or semi-dictatorship?

It mean that the Malaysian citizens' right to choose a Prime Minister were denied.

Yesterday, the Wanita UMNO also made the decision that there will be no contest and TSRA will handover the position to her deputy next year. Why next year? Why not now? Why not during the party election so that the members had a choice...

What is happening here? What is the meaning of proper transition? It is an undemocratic move. the members should be given the right to choose. UMNO is still as ignorant as ever, they will never learn, they reduced their majority in Parliament, they lose 5 states, still they ignore the grassroots. They don't understand the message...
