Ground reports cobbled together by Umno suggest that the Malay political party is facing a crisis of sorts: a sizeable number of Malays no longer identify the party as defenders of Malay interest.
Worse yet, there is a growing perception that Umno has not been able to stanch the tide of demands from the non-Malays since Election 2008.
Hawks in Umno believe that if allowed to take root, the political party’s one last reliable supportbase could be an Achilles Heel in 2013 when the next general elections are scheduled. (Note: Umno’s share of votes in 2008 among Malays was largely intact despite the unprecedented showing by the Opposition).
So strategists have advised Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and other Umno leaders that they need to adopt three approaches: attack Opposition icon Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as a politician who is willing to sell out the Malays to gain political power, a modern-day traitor; hammer Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) as a stooge of the mainly Chinese Democratic Action Party (DAP); and finally to show Umno as uncompromising defenders of race and religion.

Of the three approaches, Umno leaders appear to be relishing the chance of rubbishing Anwar as a traitor, alleging that he is more interested in defending the rights of Chinese and demonising him as someone who will barter away the special privileges of the Malays for the support of Indians and Chinese.
The curious thing about using the “traitor” card is that it is a double-edged weapon. Here is a fact: if we go by the common definition of the word traitor, many Malaysian politicians will be considered traitors.
After all, a traitor is someone who betrays his country, a cause, a trust, even a set of principles.
Is Anwar more of a “traitor’’ than:
• Muhyiddin Yassin.
— Is the Deputy Prime Minister a traitor to the 1 Malaysia cause introduced by his political boss and adopted by the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition because he chooses to encourage incendiary rhetoric and plays to the Malay gallery?
— Is the Deputy Prime Minister a traitor to his race by flip-flopping on the policy of teaching Mathematics and Science in English?
• Khairy Jamaluddin.
— Is the Umno Youth leader a traitor for betraying the trust of Malaysians who expect young and better-educated politicians not to get involved in the unsavoury world of money politics?
— Is the Umno Youth leader, who promised to speak for all Malaysians, a traitor to the cause of building a better and more competitive Malaysia, a traitor because he choose political advancement over principles?
• Najib Razak
— Is the Prime Minister (PM) a traitor to the Malay cause because he is liberalising the economy and opening up more sectors to foreign ownership?
— Is the PM a traitor because he is openly courting the United States and Singapore, two countries which many Umno members pigeonhole as unfriendly.
• Umno politicians.
— Are senior Umno politicians traitors to their race because they accept largesse from Chinese businessmen in the form of monthly stipends, all expenses paid holidays, and commissions as quid pro quo for granting the Chinese businessmen permits and contracts?
• BN leaders.
— Is a BN component party leader a traitor when he remains silent in a meeting and does not defend his race and religion from chauvinists?
• Nik Aziz Nik Mat and PAS leaders.
— Is Nik Aziz Nik Mat a traitor to his race and religion because he allows non-Muslims to build their places of worship without impediments?
• Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng.
— Are the Lims traitors to the vision of a Malaysian Malaysia because they have not done enough to make their political party representative of all the major races in the country?
The list of “traitors’’ in Malaysia can go on and on. For it is a fact that the political landscape here is littered with individuals who have strayed from their ideals, principles and values. The sad truth is that we call many of them our leaders
The more dirty tactics BN uses, the more public are going to hate BN.
This is the fact. The only chance for BN to gain respect from public is to play fair. I fully support 1Malaysia to achieve a happy 1Malaysian environment. However from one hand, we see all the good intentions, on the other hand the way how BN had handled Perak and Selangor is clearly a sore looser approach. If I were to be BN leader, I will step up the competition to improve services in BN controlling states to show public that BN can be reformed to achieve a effective gov. Instead of using a wrong tactic to gain control, BN should focus in the circle of influence that within their rightful jurisdiction to do the right things to show how good that they can serve the nation and SHOULD NOT focus on the wrong thing to tear down opposition make BN look like a real sore looser.
All of us know, BN over uses MACC machinery until MACC becomes a clear BN political tool and loss its initial intention and purpose. Now, MACC's activitity has clearly shown the public as "Penny wise and pound foolish" from a real corruption crime buster. I do not know when the public will wake up one day and start to run a campaign to say NO to MACC like to ISA. Before it is too late, BN leader should stop mobilizing MACC as a political tool and play fair.
BN is the biggest liar of all....and they are the traitor of all Malaysian. And what is One Malaysia? They even don't know, they just put it up to save their own butt.
Long Live the People, and Power to the People of Malaysia. Always "Government by the people, to the people & for the People will not vanish from this earth". So what the Hell UMNO or BN is talk about. Are all Malaysia being treated equally? UMNO & BN think deep on it, before you start talking.
Who rapes and plunders the resources of the country whlie at the same sprinkle crumbs to the malay masses to keep them ignorant. The answer is pretty obvious.
We all know the Umnoputras are the custodians of the country resources meant for all the deserving irrespective of race, creed and religion but why always play the race/religion card to divide and rule and manipulate statistics to show they are are still championing malay rights and privileges so as to cover their continous and unscrupulous greed to corner the country resources for themselves.
If you think I am wrong ask yourself why is the income disparity of the country the worst in Asean and the disparity is the highest within the malay community after 40 years of NEP. Why do you think that money politics, cronyism, nepotism and corruption are developed into an arts and science in Umno. Surely it was not for fun but for money and power. To cast the Chinese as money faced is fallacious looking at the way Umnoputras are fighting over money as if there is no tomorrow.
These champions of the Malay language also send all their sons and daughters to private, international or overseas to be educated in English. Hypocrites!!
Helping Umno in this insidous scheme are the smaller robbers like MCA, MIC and Gerakan
UMNO is not looking after the Malays. The Malays know that already. Just look around and see who is richest in Malaysia. The rich ones are UMNO leaders, their family members and their cronies. They make by the millions. That's how they screw the country called Malaysia. Real Malaysians will eventually suffer.
The traitor are those who sapu rakyat $12.5 billion as well as the Gov't and enforcement agencies who just could not be bother as it involve the ruling party.
The traitors are those who are so efficient when it invovle cows and $2,400-00 with the end result if a young man and a child never knowing the father.
In this case, how does the person feel if actually there is no case in the $2,400-00 but a person died. Unless killing is the way of live for the persons or persons responsible just like th UTK personnel.....Is MACC investigator also trained to .........................
These are traitor to the core.....slave to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Traitor are like Utusan & NST Reporter and Editor, A Money Safe, Zainul Ariffin, Noraini Abd Razak Rusdi.....who use racial and religious issues as a basis to spiinng for UMNO........
Traitor are people who call the Agung Natang, but got awat scot free because they are from UMNO...
Traitor are teh enforcement agency who gassed and water cannon acid lace water the rakyat......
Traitor are leaders without and conscienceho treat the rakyat as their slave............
UMNO, Polis, MACC, Judiciary.....ring any bell
The worst of the traitors is Khairy whose father in law is part chinese and so is his wife and child. While he spew racist hate at non malays, he actaully pissing on his own family and in laws. The Malaysians are laughing at this Moron who is gets the award as the stupidest racist traitor in the country!
