Why does UMNO even bother having elections?

With all these dead voters turning up, the 1.5million civil Servants (including the guranteed Postal Votes of the Military, RELA, Police, and other Govt-Linked Institutions), why not just declare Elections as "costing too much Public Money & Resources", and go ahead, and declare UMNO the next Ruling Regime for the next 99years. Burma did it since 1990, and Singapore just gave the above reason for not having any by-elections.

UMNO wants itself to look as if it is Championing the "malays", and yet the people who are raped the most (financially at least), are the very people they pretend to Champion. And then of course, there is the God factor. How can you argue against "God told me to tell you that....".

The easiest way to keep a Population under it's control, is to make sure that it is poor, and stupid. First, they would be too poor to bother arguing and fighting against the Govt. So, unless you have some "Thaksin who feeds the Red Shirts money to demonstrate at MBK", no "poor and stupid person" would ever have time, or the resources to go on a demo. The second, is the simple fact that the stupid are too dumb to even realize that there is a better-life-out-there. The only exception which I know of, would be the Indonesians.

They are fantastic at organizing "Demos". They have perfectly timed buses, which would transport the people in and out of Jakarta, with absolutely NO TRAFFIC JAMS, and all 10,000 or more people would arrive punctually, and orderly at the demo (at least at the start of it anyway). My question to them was this, "Wow, you are so professional at organization, and getting things done accurately & correctly and no one is late for a demonstration, but how come no one can do this on regular workday?"

Well, elections are coming again. PKR has an internal pissing-contest, and UMNO is going to win again. Why not just declare that "Elections are costly. Therefore no more elections until the year 3011" and be done with it?

In my best Manglish, "Oi ! UMNO ! No balls to announce this ah?"
