The nation is in an economic toilet bowl, if not the cesspool.
There just isn’t enough real cash going around.
And UMNO’s election machinery just doesn’t get going unless it is well lubricated.
Well, and expensively lubricated.
So how is UMNO to go to a 13th GE unless it can lay its hands on cold, hard cash?
Lots and lots of it.
Well, it seems that some of those in the UMNO thinking department have brains after all.
They seem to have stumbled upon a solution.
A quite ingenious one, too.
The move to secure unto UMNO its new election war chest started in Parliament last Monday and was finally put in place on Wednesday.
In Parliament.
Ingenious.
Too ingenious to have been thought of by Najib or Rosmah.
Or Hishamuddin, although some are laying the credit for the move at his door.
Who are these new funders?
I’ll tell you who they are tomorrow.
Unless some bright spark out there can finger them today.
Go on, have a guess.

I think sooner or later if not already people will see that your sense of right or wrong depends on the person rather than the action. An act or action is right or wrong depends on who you support though the action is the same. Be objective fair and balance.

Hmmmm… you could not be the FELDA Global Ventures Holdings listing as that is only supposed to be due in “mid-2012”, could you? Timing would seem wrong…
But with Mohd Isa plunking himself as tai-koh of Koperasi Permodalan Felda when by some accounts he is not even qualified to be in the KPF itself and his money-politics suspension from UMNO, who knows?
Already lawsuits for amounts totalling more than a billion ringgit against FELDA have been filed by its settlers. Reflecting all sorts of corruption which end up taking the big money from the very people who needed it. (Do I ss the ghosts of the NEP lurking around?)
Harakah published “Najib to announce Felda’s listing at KLSE?” yesterday, in which “a source” said:
“Felda does not need the funds from the listing. The party which will
make huge profit is CIMB, which has reaped millions in profit from the
listing of the sugar company Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Co Bhd (listed in
July) prior to this, as well as Isa (Samad, Felda chairman) and Najib’s
companies trying to own Felda’s businesses which are very profitable
although not listed on KLSE.”

Who knows? The “mid-2012” listing date quoted in other reports may just be to throw folks off; Najib & Co may be out to korek big money from the massive 850,000ha of plantations under FELDA. Yet again. Pity the settlers, who may get some juicy crumbs, but likely lose out much more.

***SUMMARY of BUDGET 2012 (BN Version)***
1) ANWAR IBRAHIM claims the budget tabled is a ‘copycat’ version of his & he also said it’s “unrealistic”. Isn’t ANWAR IBRAHIM shooting himself in the foot by saying the so-called Budget he accused of being copied is unrealistic to implement??? Get a better excuse, Anwar!!!
VERDICT: Najib 1 – Anwar 0.
2) PAKATAN RAKYAT wanking leaders are claiming it’s an ‘ELECTION BUDGET’. Whether it’s one or not, does it really matter??? What matters most is how beneficial will the budget be to ‘the rakyat’, correct?? Are PAKATAN RAKYAT donkeys running out of things to say simply becos’ they find Najib’s budget too AWESOME???
VERDICT: Najib 2 – Anwar 0.
3) No raise in SIN TAXES!!! How unbelievable, right??? I bet that AH PEK a.k.a. ZORRO UNMASKED is currently putting his own smelly shoes into his own mouth instead of his DUMB pipe. This BERNARD KHOO (Old Arse Zorro) hyped so much of booze prices going up & I foresee he will DIE soon due to BOOZE OVERDOSE since these prices remain unchanged.
VERDICT: Najib 3 – Anwar 0 & Bernard Khoo kena BUNGKUS.
4) ANWAR IBRAHIM thought by revealing his BAJET BAYANG (Shadow Budget) before the real Budget is out is a COOL move but only to get a BIG FAT SLAP on his own Sodomy loving face. I just can’t believe how ANWAR could make it as a POLITICIAN. Doesn’t this MALE ARSE LOVING dude know that the MOST important fundamentals in politics is NOT to reveal your TRUMP card before your rivals???
VERDICT: Najib 4 – Anwar 0.
5) Whether it’s RURAL-CENTRIC or URBAN-CENTRIC, it’s NOT the main issue. The Budget announced yesterday covers all walks of life. Some says the RURAL will benefit more, while, some says vice-versa. Either way, it’s ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. However, what’s INCORRECT are those words coming out from DONKEYS mouth such as ANWAR IBRAHIM, LIM KIT SIANG, LIM GUAN ENG, TONY PUA & those TALIBANIC PAS dudes.
VERDICT: Najib 5 – Anwar 0.
KEPUTUSAN MUKTAMAD:
Najib & BN menang tanpa CABARAN.
Syabas!!!

How do you think Najib became the PM ? He practically just waltzed into the post in April 2009 replacing Badawi without any resistance at all. How did he keep all the UMNO warlords happy and allow such a transition to take place without any complaints ? Well going from past track records, they must have been well fed. So where did the money come from ? From Najib’s own pocket ? Definitely not ! From some rich entrepreneur ? I don’t think anyone has that much money to feed a few thousand insatiable UMNO warlords happy. So where did this money come from ? On 26/12/2007 Bank Negara issued 50 million new RM 50 notes. The denominations went from AA, AB, AC, AD and AE.Meaning AA had 7 digits and so on. All these notes had a bunga raya symbol at the back to commemorate the 50th anniversary of our independence. Somewhere in 2008/2009 it was reported that these new notes were having ‘problems’ at the ATM machines etc. Subsequently a new set was released. Following that a lot of discrepancies were noted. If the established norms of printing were to have been followed then subsequent notes from AF, AG.AH should have followed, which did but there were reports also of ZA and ZB notes flying around.How on Earth from AF to ZA RM 50 notes could have been printed is anyone’s guess. Each denomination eg AA would mean RM 500 million worth. Hence to move from AA to ZA and ZB, we must be richer than USA to do so. You can find many such notes available on our lelong sites. Just google to see it. I myself have come across 6 notes of ZB. I’m sure many would have but did not look at the currency numbers to note it. Even if it were to be correction notes that Bank Negara had printed , it does not make sense how come so many of ‘Z’ currencies are in circulation.That many ‘correctins’? And guess who was the Finance Minister then ??? Another guess when Bank Negara are issuing more new notes ? Yes in January 2012 ! Going by this information, the next GE will be only after that. By then you can bet your bottom dollar that UMNO will have an election kitty that can buy virtually anybody in this country.
