UMNO's Bethrayal - Why I lodged Police Report against Pak Lah



Tuesday - 1st April 2008. Pavillion Kuala Lumpur.
Its not an April fool's joke, as some may think. Rather, it was Johari Ismail (photos here when he held his initial press conference on Nov 6th 2007), an active UMNO member of the Kampung Tahang Rimau branch in Johor, at the launch of his book (as the title suggested).
Asked why he did what he did, Johari replied that he made the report in view that the Prime Minister issued a directive to stop Tun Dr Mahathir from being nominated as a candidate. Such act, as he saw it, was unfit of that of a leader. On the other contents of the book, Johari also touched on the Iskandariah Region (WPI). Citing that the formation of such a region with access to foreign nationals unrestricted will be threat to National Security.
Speaking at the launch was Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Tapa, an UMNO stalwart, considered by most as part of the founding members. Tan Sri Abdul Aziz touched on the subject of betrayal too. However, he cited the results of the recent General Election as a catalyst, and perhaps its time to reevaluate the party. Betrayal or not, what will happen in the next few weeks or months leading to the AGM would be one that most people would be interested in, UMNO members or not.
