Idiot may not get 30% nominations

Little Bird

Kawan-kawan, here is an interesting thought. When you have outlived your welcome, the best thing to do is to make your excuses and go quietly. In this regard Koh Tsu Koon was the gentleman.

Immediately after the election results, he announced his resignation from all Gerakan party posts. He just quit and left. Then he walked Lim Guan Eng through the Chief Minister's office.

But Ong Ka Ting, Semi Value and Idiot are refusing to acknowledge the applause waiting for them near the exit. Then you may have to die by a thousand cuts. One blogger here says that Chua Jui Meng will become the next MCA party president. Oh well. I don't really care too much for the MCA.

Over in UMNO land, the rules require that even for the incumbent president to contest the presidency he will also need a minimum 30% of Bahagian to nominate him. That mean 58 Bahagian. Only with this 58 Bahagian nominating him can the Idiot fill up the forms to become a candidate for party president. Being incumbent does not mean that he just walks through the elections without the need for the 30% quota of nominations.

So there is a real possibility that, for the first time in the party's history, the incumbent president MAY NOT get the requisite 30% nominations to even qualify to put his name on the list of candidates vying for president.

It is known that Tengku Razaleigh will also be contesting for party president. Going by the sentiment at the grassroots now, Ku Li may not get the requisite 30% nominations to go for president. Let's explore this possibility. Let's say come nomination day, Ku Li gets only around 40 Bahagian to nominate him. Let's say Idiot gets 15 or 20. Assuming there are no nominations for Najib, then this may lead to a standoff. The party will be in a situation of no candidate qualifying to run for president. In such a situation, it will be best for UMNO to just deregister and let all its members balik kampong and tanam ubi kayu. Jadi Melayu tak guna.

If Idiot leaves now, it looks like Najib will ascend the throne. Maybe he can send his wife Rosmah off as our next angkasawan into space. There are assets and then there are liabilities.
