The reason Badawi failed is due to the disgust of the Chinese, the Indians, and other non-Malays over the continued marginalization that has lasted for more than 51years. Many fair-minded Malays are also disgusted with the thuggish marginalization of the minorities.
Can Najib implement policies that would institute equality and justice? Obviously not. It is equally clear that the supporters of Najib think that the way to restore the dominance of the UMNO is by using terrorist tactics of siccing the ISA on the opposition. But the arrests of Teresa Kok, Tan Hoon Cheng, and Raja Petra Kamarudin have already stirred up international condemnations from all the civilized world and within Malaysia.
Even the Law Minister Zaid was so disgusted with this mindless terrorist tactic that he resigned his post. Therefore, is it likely that Najib could use the ISA and OSA to terrorize the opposition into submission? It is obvious the answer is a resounding NO!
The threat of arresting opposition and detaining them indefinitely no longer strike fear into the heart of the Malaysian people. It only makes them angry. The anger of the people over the arrest of the Hindraf and other Malaysians are very clear.
If Najib is so stupid as not to understand this sea change in the mentality of the Malaysian people, then he will only push more of the people into the arms of the opposition and give Anwar and PR an even bigger majority when they take over the government.
PR might even end up with more than 2/3 majority. Then the new PR government could abolish NEP and all the iniquitous quotas without the help of UMNO and other BN remnants.
The winds of change is now blowing away from racist dictatorship to a more racially equitable relationship. Those who cannot promote this new desire of the people will be blown away by this wind of change.
In the end, Najib cannot stand against this wind of change if he wants to maintain the old iniquitous racist dominance. Nor can the racist UMNO be able to stand against this wind of change by using the ISA, the police, and the Malay Regiments to terrorize and to suppress the opposition.
The majority of the Malaysian people will not permit it. The international community will not permit it. In the end, no matter who assumed the presidency of UMNO, it has to make peace with the Malaysian people to usher in a new age of genuine equality and racial harmony. Otherwise, all racist bigots will simply be blown away by the new will of the people. And since UMNO's agenda is still the maintenance of racist domination, nobody can perpetrate that task.
In the end, UMNO is headed to oblivion. It will simply disintegrate after it loses the government. The members will split into three parts. One part will join the opposition and be incorporated into PKR.
One part will organize a new party with the aim of attracting support through implementing the wishes of the people which is a harmonious and equitable society. It will act as watchdog over the PR government to make sure that the wishes of the people are implemented.
The last part will be comprised of the old diehard racists who want to regain the old dominance of the Malay supremacy. But these will be like the neo-Nazis in the US. Ultimately they will become the laughing stock of the modernized Malaysian people who understand the values of equality and justice and the need of them for the growth and development of a robust economy on which the people depend for a high standard of living that they deserve.
In the final analysis, UMNO is doomed in its goal of political dominance through racist terrorization. No matter who is the head of UMNO, he can no longer rule Malaysia through fear. Therefore, UMNO is doomed.
