To be professor in a University, one must have excellent (if not great) academic achievement. To be the Managing Director of a company, one must have excellent managing capability. To be a chef of a restaurant, one must have some specialty dish that no one in the team can cook better.

But what are the qualities to be a member of Majlis Tertinggi UMNO (MT)? What are the criteria that define or separates those within Majlis Tertinggi UMNO? Well, wealth is one. The wealthier you are, the higher you sits within the MT and this is common knowledge. The other prerequisite it seems, is the ability to cause division. Take, this ex-UMNO Youth asshole who has a perverted sense of justice. People like them are trying various means to infect the unsuspecting Malays with their racial and religious bigotry with the ultimate aim of causing disunity and dissatisfaction among Malaysians.

In Utusan Melayu today -

Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO (MT), Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi percaya orang Melayu di Selangor kini mula sedar bahawa mereka terpaksa menanggung padah kerana salah memilih kerajaan.

Menurut beliau, ini berikutan keputusan kerajaan campuran Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), DAP dan Pas negeri Selangor menghapuskan peraturan mengehadkan rumah ibadat bukan Islam di negeri itu. Beliau berkata, walaupun Menteri Besar Selangor beragama Islam tetapi tidak mempunyai kuasa sebaliknya keputusan yang diambil ditentukan oleh barisan Exco negeri itu.

”Cuma saya ingin beritahu orang Islam di Selangor, itulah harga mahal yang terpaksa mereka bayar kerana salah memilih kerajaan,” katanya. Menurutnya, keluasan sesuatu rumah ibadat bukan Islam hanya ditentukan oleh kerajaan negeri dengan melalui pihak berkuasa tempatan. Kata beliau, wujud satu garis panduan khas kerana Islam adalah agama rasmi negara dan mempunyai garis panduan tertentu tanpa mengetepikan agama lain.

It seems to me, they are portraying Islam in a very narrow minded way. Is Islam unfair? Is Islam restrictive? Does Islam promotes a perverted sense of justice among her followers? The way this Zahid portrays Islam, seems to define Islam as such. Especially when none of the religious leaders rebuke him for saying so.

This Zahid asshole seems to be getting a lot of press coverage recently. Could it be due to the impending UMNO election?
