Rasis: Terima Kasih Umno

Firdaus Jaafar

Jika diikutkan apa yang diucapkan oleh Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dan Datuk Ahmad Maslan, jelas UMNO/BN sudah tidak ‘ketahuan’ lagi. Sejak kebelakangan ini, UMNO sudah menunjukkan betapa parti yang kononnya perjuangkan nasib bangsa melayu ini sudah berada diambang ‘sakaratul maut’. Umum mengetahui bahawa UMNO selama ini menang di dalam pilihanraya bukanlah bergantung sepenuhnya kepada kekuatan undi melayu namun memerlukan ‘tongkat’ kaum lain terutamanya kaum Cina untuk menampung hayat mereka. Mengimbau kembali sejarah pilihanraya umum 1999 ketika mana bangsa melayu bangkit menolak UMNO/BN akibat ‘buah tangan’ isu Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, parti melayu ini di’selamat’kan oleh undi kaum lain selain daripada memanupulasi undi pos. Jadi apakah Mahyuddin dan Ahmad Maslan tidak belajar daripada peristiwa tersebut?
