According to thefreedictionary.com, insinuation is "an indirect or devious hint or suggestion". The same online dictionary defined allegation as "a formal accusation against somebody (often in a court of law)".
There have been countless insinuations of politicians being corrupt. Whether they are from the ruling party or from the opposition, the insinuations are many. However, not many of these insinuations are translated into "allegations". And even a smaller number are actually charged and found guilty by the court of law or some form of tribunal.
Before the 2009 UMNO Election, there have been numerous insinuation that Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar or more famously known as "KJ" is a corrupt UMNO member and leader. Most of these insinuations were never translated into allegations. They remained as "talks", nothing more nothing less.
The UMNO Election 2009 was the turning point where some of the insinuations were translated into allegations. KJ was "tried" by UMNO Disciplinary Committee and was found guilty of corrupt practices.
Effectively some insinuations were escalated into allegations that were further escalated into "charges" and finally given a guilty verdict by the very tribunal of his own party, UMNO.
I cannot fathom, for the life of me, a guilty person be allowed to contest in an election. No disqualification, just a warning letter is sufficient? By doing that UMNO has shot itself in the foot and the wounds and scar will never be healed at least until KJ is booted out of UMNO.
Najib has to bear in mind that all his efforts (including but not limited to his 1Malaysia concept) would come to a nought if KJ remains with UMNO. UMNO/BN may still win the next general election but with lower majority. Maybe a 55% seat in Parliament, at best.
Najib must realise this and act accordingly if he hopes to revive support for UMNO/BN and not be placed in history as the first Malaysian PM to be seated on the "opposition side".
I felt deep disgust, anger and sadness whenever I see or hear of KJ. To me he is a living symbol of the corrupt, found guilty by his own party, that should charged in court. His right to be a "wakil rakyat" should be stripped and the Rembau seat be made vacant.
Hopefully he would be remembered as a CORRUPT LEGEND for eternity...
A symbol of the DOUBLE STANDARDS prevalent in Malaysian politics, a symbol of UMNO's holier than thou attitude...
A symbol of UMNO's arrogance and high handedness and all the negativeness...
For as long as KJ remains an UMNO Leader, UMNO IS A CORRUPT PARTY...
UMNO, you have lost your right to champion the causes of your race, religion and country by condoning CORRUPT PRACTICES OF YOUR OWN LEADERS...
