malaysiakini on UMNO's WEAK Leadership...

In a way it is a confession of sorts when according to this malaysiakini article the PM claims Umno would struggle if leadership weak.
Most of us will agree that AAB has increased our space for expression and apart from the HINDRAF and RPK, the authorities have allowed most commentators a lot of freeway. As he leaves the national stage, the scene is becoming more cloudy.
Last night the cops again showed their ugly side by assaulting a peaceful gathering who wanted to express their feelings against the ISA.
There is a paradox about UMNO's weak leadership - some members think that by removing AAB the party becomes stronger but if UMNO members do not realise the "money politics" rot that has invaded their systems, the party is doomed to extinction within 10 years.
It will be somewhat similar to the Berlin Wall - standing strong for many years and then suddenly it will be demolished within weeks without much warning. Just like the Berlin Wall, UMNO's demise will be greeted with much fanfare on both sides of the Malaysia political divide.
