BN's missing "wau" factor !

“Umno has not changed since the March general election. Plans made after the big loss have not been operationalised all the way down.” Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said. ( here )

He was commenting from far away Bahrain, on the missing "wow" factor in UMNO and BN after the thumping defeat in the recent UMNO's Kuala Terengganu by-election to the Opposition. I keep wondering what this "wow" factor is all about. Was there any "wow" in the first place to start with ?

Nothing has changed even after the humiliating March 8, 2008 GE, which saw the Opposition taking 5 states from the BN.....so what was he talking about ? Perhaps with humility and sincerity the BN (this is indeed the hard part !) would have won a few hearts, but no, siree......UMNO became even more arrogant and politicised more vehemently on race, religion and the "kekuatuan melayu" factor which saw UMNO and their coalition, crushed in Kuala Terengganu and yet again, mind you, and in denial mode, while licking their wounded egos, fleetingly dismissed the by-election as "won't shake the strong foundation built by BN much" pacifier as the Opposition advanced with boosted morale and energy to the parliament with yet another added seat !

So how now ? The only "wow" they are left with is the "wau" (kite in local dialect) that UMNO, for so long have been flying, under pretext and lip-service, to embrace and unite the people of all races equally and with respect, now seem to cast further erossion and doubts even within the BN coalition mainly amongst the "non-entity" (ask Ali Rastam of Malacca, please !) parties of MCA and currently "only shell" with a "heap of mounting accusations of cancerous corruption within", MIC !!

Looks like the most "decent" ( I will use this word generously!) "wow" thing to do for these 3 parties collectively called BN, is a call to disband, but not before answering all those charges and accusations against them. But then again, arrogance prevails, yes ?

Otherwise they can all go "fly their wow"( "kite or wau") till judgement day, for all I care !
