UMNO Promoting Corruption?

The government set up MACC to check corruption. I say check because however effort we put in to fight corruption, it will never stop or be wiped out. Corruption is just better than prostitution if not on the same level. Everybody know that prostitution is illegal on religuous ground, morally wrong and has been endorsed as the oldest profession in the world. Whatever effort and however it is being condoned, it will never cease as long as human needs sex. The same goes to money. As long as people needs money, corruption will not cease. Only the degree or seriousness is the difference.

I write this post after reading another blog that write about the recently concluded United Malaysian National Organisation (UMNO). I quote some of the blogs posting that in broad daylight, leaders from all walks of life is propising UMNO to practice corruption in our country because they are in power. 

Below are some that were posted:

• Puteri Umno representative Mazlina Lazim told delegates that the government must ensure Umno loyalists are given positions in government-linked-companies (GLCs). "If  Umno doesn't help Umno members who else would do that," she said.
  

• Musa Sheikh Fadzir, Bukit Mertajam, Penang : When others question our religion, our special rights, who defends the Malays? Us, Umno. But when we try to defend ourselves, our leader gets a three-year suspension (referring to Ahmad Ismail).
  

People always say don’t play money politics. But this is a political organisation. If we don’t have money, how are we supposed to come to this AGM in Kuala Lumpur? (stupid do you think?)

“Those days, an application for a taxi permit would require the endorsement of an Umno branch or division chief.  If the branches and divisions are strong, then Umno will be strong again.”

• Hasnoor Sidang Hussin, Bukit Katil, Malacca said high-ranking appointments in government-linked companies and higher learning institutions should be reserved for Umno members.
  

“So, just like the president said about returning Umno to its roots, let’s bring Umno back to its glory days where we controlled everything.” He cited the example of UiTM vice chancellor Datuk Seri Ibrahim Abu Shah who was a party loyalist.

Musa’s call was also echoed by a Malacca delegate, Datuk Hasnoor Husin, who also urged the government to ensure that only Umno loyalists be appointed to senior positions in public universities.

    “Please make sure the faculty members are all Umno men, and the same goes for other civil servants,” said Hasnoor.

Those are some examples that is clear of attempt to promote corruption within UMNO who are in power. Is it not tantamount to abuse of power which is equivalent to corruption?

Are we living in Malaysia or UMNOsia.
