Quiet Despair,
Why do you think this old man likes to claim he is a true UMNO member but keep condemning them and saying they lost the old UMNO way. It is because he feeds upon adulation from the opposition commentors. He has such a huge ego that he wants people to say he is so good, bla bla. So as far as UMNO is concern he comments are of no value just like from the opposition bloggers.
So, do not despair quiet despair as this arif guy is a joke! He blows his own trumpet just like Aljuburi!!
In the days ahead, we are going to have a field day exposing the hollowness and hypocrisy of these asinine anonymous commentators. They think we condemn because we are for the adulation of readers. If that is what one craves, then one writes slavishly for the perpetuation of hypocrisy, for that is what most of the leaders are doing now.
The above comment is exactly the type of attitude that will cause UMNO to lose. First, it imposes on UMNO the condition, that UMNO must be subscribed only by people like him. Haiyya- can you tolerate an UMNO full of foul mouthed rednecks?
For all you know, this fellow is not even an UMNO member or if he is, can he get past the AJK cawangan post?
Second, this is the kind of condescending and derisive attitude that bred arrogance on the part of UMNO and makes UMNO a despised brand name.
3rd, and perhaps the most fatal flaw in UMNO's mindset, is because it defines itself in terms of its relationships with Anwar Ibrahim and thus, the epithet Aljuburi. Well, it's going to be Al Juburi vs Al Tantuya right?
It is an UMNO full of people like this fellow that will break UMNO, because UMNO does not commit itself to long term thinking and accordingly, the adoption of long term mindset which is adaptive and more tolerant thinking most needed for Najib's long term transformation.
Najib will wonder in the coming months, whether his big ideas can be carried by a fossilsed thinking UMNO unwilling to adapt and adjust. UMNO remains a political organization full of this braggart commentator; it will be consumed by developments beyond its control.
If UMNO is full of this shitty thinking type of people like this commentator, Najib can continue dreaming about his grand ideas of GTP, ETP, NEM and so on and so forth.
Where does UMNO derive its support from in the main? It derived from kampong thinking people. Let's be clear- we use this term to differentiate a particular type of thinking with the adaptive thinking of modern people.
What does kampong thinking represent? It represents conservatism, reluctance to change and resistance to adaptation, set ways of thinking, ascriptive type of thinking. You may wish to recall that in ascriptive type of thinking, the holder of that thinking, places a premium on a person's inherited position, status and popular in Malaysia, a premium on bloodline as inference of capabilities and abilities. .
Hence the holder of this thinking assumes a person's worth is determined by his inherited positions and bloodline. The offspring of previous leaders are automatically assumed to inherit the abilities of their forbears.
Can this kind of thinking support Najib's big ideas which depend on what can a person do rather than on the inference that he has inherited the abilities on account of his bloodline and positions? Najib's big ideas depend more on achieved norms kind of thinking- where a person's worth is determined primarily by acquired abilities and on what he can contribute as added value.
The old UMNO way has none of this self-limiting thinking- people of all kind of thinking inclinations become active UMNO members driven by a desire to contribute. The present day UMNO people impose self-limitations as reflected by the thinking of the above asinine commentator. He wants only his 'type' to be the standard UMNO bearer. He and his kind can indeed be a bearer of sorts- the pallbearer.
As for Quiet Despair, he is a regular visitor here, giving him sufficient time, I hope to visualize a future UMNO.
