Umno has been using BN component parties to stay in power. It’s an open secret that Umno is the master controlling the whole system of governance within BN even though they keep saying being equal partners and power-sharing with conscientious decision-making. How true are these?

BN component parties should have realised by now that Race and Religion are Umno’s vitamins that gave them the appetite and strength to control over them. And how often have these component parties been played out by Umno?

The voice from Umno to all BN component parties is very loud and clear - “follow our rules or you are out.”

How much longer are those BN component parties going to take orders from Umno when the rakyat have turned against Umno/BN as shown in the GE12 and 13 results?

It is time for BN component parties to take a firm stand against Umno’s arrogance towards them.

Hudud, what BN component parties should do

There is no point in threatening to leave only after the Hudud Bill is passed. What can you do by resigning from your ministerial posts or take your parties out after the Hudud Bill is passed, NOTHING. If you are truly and sincerely against hudud been implemented, action should be taken now.

An ultimatum should be given to Umno that the Hudud Bill must never see the light again in Parliament with a dateline for an affirmation, failing which Umno will be kicked out of BN.

For Sarawak and Sabah, its easy to threaten to go your separate ways but that is never gonna happen. Don’t threaten, take action now together with your teammates in the peninsula.

Don’t let Umno dictate everything, lie to or even threaten you. Time to show Umno by taking real action and not just issue threats.

1MDB scandal

The whole Umno machinery is put into full gear to ensure that the real truth of 1MDB scandal is completely hidden. Can BN component parties accept that and do you all not want to know the real truth irrespective of the outcome and who is actually the culprit behind it?

Umno is playing the religious card together with PAS in diverting this hottest scandal around the world. For those who believe that there is nothing wrong with 1MDB as claimed by Putrajaya, I have nothing to say, but to those who feel otherwise something have to be done and now.

Alliance with Pakatan

The only best way to go, for now, is for BN (after kicking out Umno) to form an alliance with Pakatan. After kicking out Umno for sure they will join up with PAS and try to get the numbers to form the government.

Not all from PAS would team up with Umno nor all of BN component parties would want to form an alliance with Pakatan, but still things can be worked out. Whichever side that manages to form the government, it will be by a slim majority.

If the majority MPs have the same thoughts to fight for the nation and its citizens, I am quite sure a new government can be formed with ease.

This is a long shot but are BN component parties willing to stay on with Umno after seeing the dire state of the nation and being bullied for so long?

Special note to Minister Azalina Othman Said: If you don’t want non-Muslims to talk about your religion, please ensure that no religious matters are presented in Parliament.
