The selection of Tan Sri Isa Samad tells us that : Bagan Pinang voters, you are not worthy of a clean ADUN. UMNO will win the "buy-election", there is for sure, but alot of people are asking at what cost? It also tells us alot about UMNO's moral standing, if there is any at all.
Am I upset? Yes, of course. Because, you know, UMNO-BN is a ruling coalition at Federal and States government, and being the longest ruling party, they have the duty to make sure the candidates that they pick to contest are not only capable but clean or at least appear to be clean. In short, UMNO owes the people a sacred responsibility to pick the best people to serve their government. It's people's government that is at stake here, she ought to be treated with respect and honor. Just because you are assured of wining does not mean that you can pick any Tom, Dick and Harry to be candidate. Elected ADUN are not there to just fill up the empty spaces. You are there to help in the governance if your party happens to be in the government. DPM Muhyiddin said while announcing Isa's candidacy that he is the choice of the people. But who are these people? UMNO people or Bagan Pinang people?
State Government is entrusted to manage hundred of million of people's money. Can the people of the constituency trust Isa on how to handle their money? Do you think a bank would hire an ex-convict who found guilty of CBT to be their staff? Bagan Pinang voters, the choice is in your hands.
1 Malaysia: Rakyat UMNO didahulukan, pencapaian rasuah diutamakan
