Perhimpunan Agung dan Pemilihan Umno yang akan diadakan selama lima hari mulai 24 Mach ini mungkin terpaksa dibatalkan oleh Pendaftar Pertubuhan kerana didakwa membenarkan lebih 400 perwakilan yangh bertaraf muflis menghadiri persidangan dan mengundi apad pemilihan parti.
Menurut ahli Umno dari Muar, Datuk Kadar Shah Sulaiman setakat ini beliau telah mendapat maklumat dan mengenal pasti empat perwakilan yang sudah disahkan bankrap di sisi undang-undang.
"Saya sudah ada empat nama tersebut dan pihak ibu pejabat Umno pun sudah minta daripada saya tetapi saya tidak mahu beri sebab itu tanggungjawab mereka menyaring dam memastikan semua yang hadir mestilah perwakilan yang sah," kata beliau.
Kadar Shah berkata sumber yang diperolehi beliau memberitahu kemungkinan wujud lebih 400 perwakilan haram pada persidangan Umno tahun ini yang dikategorikan sebagai bankrap.
"Saya sudah beri amaran kepada Datuk Seri Najib (Razak) mengenai perkara ini sejak dulu lagi supaya panggil saya untuk beri keterangan tapi amaran dan saranan saya tidak diendahkan.
"Sekarang ni saya kira sudah terlambat untuk berbuat apa-apa kerana persidangan tahun ini sudah pasti tidak boleh diadakan," tegas beliau lagi.
Beliau menambah perwakilan yang muflis tersebut terlepas pandang pada peringkat bahagian dan kebanyakan daripada mereka bertanding jawatan di peringkat bahagian dan menang tanpa diketahui sebenarnya mereka telah diisytiharkan bankrap oleh mahkamah.
"Ini amat merisaukan, sepatutnya pada peringkat bahagian lagi mereka yang muflis telah dikenalpasti tetapi mereka lepas begitu sahaja dan dipilih ke perhimpunan dan lebih parah lagi apabila mereka juga akan mengundi memilih pucuk pimpinan Umno," ujar anak bekas Pengerusi Tetap Umno itu.
Dakwa beliau antara perwakilan muflis itu datang dari empat bahagian di Johor, Selangor, Pahang dan Kedah.
Sekiranya dakwaan beliau didapati berasas, Pendaftar Pertubuhan boleh bertindak membatalkan perhimpunan Umno tahun ini di bawah peraturan sedia ada.
Jika Umno berkeras untuk meneruskan juga persidangan dan pemilihan parti maka semua keputusan termasuk pemilihan presiden baru Umno yang dimenangi oleh Datuk Seri Najib Razak November lalu akan terbatal dan dianggap tidak sah, kata Kadar Shah.

Umno leader calls panel decisions ‘a bargain’, demands justification
By Lee Wei Lian
KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Frustrated with Umno’s tepid fight against money politics, maverick Datuk Kadar Shah Sulaiman called its latest disciplinary action ‘a bargain’ and gave it a week to justify its judgments.
Otherwise, he will complain to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) and make good his threat to stop the Umno annual general assembly due March 24 with an injunction.
“This is a grand design, something like a bargain,” Kadar Shah said while pouring out his frustrations to The Malaysian Insider about the panel’s decision to just bar Datuk Seri Ali Rustam from contesting the party deputy presidency.
“How can the board be credible if they don’t act justly. If the board finds someone guilty, they should act. “If not, their reputation would be tarnished. Either act or don’t act at all,” added the Muar Umno committee member.
He dismissed today’s disciplinary board verdict, saying a possible reason the Melaka Chief Minister was not suspended despite being found guilty of money politics was because of the Umno vice-president’s perceived influence with the party grassroots and a fear his supporters may walk out.
Kadar Shah also accused the disciplinary board of double standards, citing the case of Tan Sri Isa Samad, a former party vice president who was suspended for six years in 2005 for money politics.
Isa’s suspension was lifted in June last year following an appeal.
While Ali was not suspended, his political secretary Saadun Basirun was suspended for three years, also for involvement in money politics.
However, Kadar Shah’s threats is unlikely to be taken very seriously within Umno as he admitted no one has contacted him after his threat to stop the assembly if corruption is not investigated.
But he believed the threat which he made together with former Umno Youth executive councillor Datuk Mazlan Harun, had put some pressure on the disciplinary board to “act a bit faster”.
The duo created a stir on March 5 when they announced their threat.
It was seen by some observers as an attempt to prevent Datuk Seri Najib Razak from being endorsed as party president.
Najib won the Umno presidency uncontested in a pre-arranged transition plan and will be confirmed as party president during the general assembly.
Mazlan had denied the allegations. “We are not here to stop (Najib). Everyone who loves Umno must take this matter seriously. The process must be completed according to the party constitution and the law. We are not involved in the transition plan, it can be completed anytime,” Mazlan told reporters on March 5.
Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Adnan Tengku Mansor however said the duo have no right to seek a postponement of the party assembly as there are no provisions in the Societies Act or the Umno constitution to postpone an assembly because of money politics.

Umno leaders to ask Registrar of Societies to defer party election
(Suara KeADILan) - Two Umno branch leaders Kadar Shah Sulaiman and Mazlan Harun plan to lodge a complaint with the Registrar of Societies today and seek a postponement of the party’s annual assembly and election slated to begin tomorrow.
“We want to postpone the annual assembly and election until all the cases of money politics involving all the Umno leaders contesting for office this year have been completed,” Kadar Shah told TVantara.
Both he and Mazlan will complain against the disqualification of vice president Mohd Ali Rustam from contesting the deputy president’s post and the warning letter issued to Youth chief aspirant Khairy Jamaluddin.
“I and Mazlan will go to the ROS today (at 2 pm) and complain about the two cases. We want to know why Ali Rustam was barred but is still allowed to attend the assembly and cast his vote.
“The same with Khairy. How come he was found guilty but no action was taken. Is a letter of warning enough?,” Kadar said.
Both Ali and Khairy were among the 15 Umno members found guilty of breaching party ethics. Another 14 were cleared, including former Selangor menteri besar Mohd Khir Toyo, who is also contesting the Youth chief post.

Umno, a law unto itself — The Malaysian Insider
MARCH 18 — Here’s the thing. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Take Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam’s status for instance. The Umno disciplinary panel found him unfit to contest the party elections but the party elders feel he is more than qualified to remain Melaka Chief Minister.
It makes you wonder at the double standards. He is not good enough to be a senior leader within the party because his agents breached campaign rules. But he is good enough to be chief executive of a state.
Veteran opposition leader Lim Kit Siang said as much in his Facebook status line this morning, “ WHAT?? Not fit to contest as Umno Deputy President but fit to continue as Malacca CM??”
For others, it smacks of a compromise to keep the popular Umno vice-president and his followers happy.
“This is a grand design, something like a bargain,” Datuk Kadar Shah Sulaiman said yesterday about the Umno action against Ali, adding the decision was made in fear that his supporters may walk out of the party.
Former party president Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had no such compunction when he cut short Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s meteoric rise and challenge to him by sacking the deputy president in 1998 on corruption and sodomy charges.
Ali’s only consolation is that he is left with his party and government posts. And not further than that although the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commision (MACC) has selectively investigated money politics within the dominant Malay nationalist party.
The bigger question is incoming Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak’s willingness to take on the Herculean task of cleaning Umno’s Stygian stables.
He has said as much to clean up Umno and Dr Mahathir has also put in his two sens’ worth but the disciplinary panel’s actions have shown to be just a sop to the baying calls to rid the party of corruption.
The action yesterday to bar Ali, warn Khairy Jamaluddin and clear Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo speak volumes about Najib’s ability to be an agent of change. Particularly his statement that Ali remains the Melaka chief minister.
It shows that he and others believe that Umno is a law unto itself, scripting its succesion plans and leadership in a cabal rather than allowing democracy to flourish within the party and in the country.
Then again, Malaysia has had that since independence.

Kenapa saya dan Datuk Mazlan bercadang untuk mendapat injunksi terhadap UMNO.
1. Apa yang telah saya lakukan bersama Dato Mazlan Harun semasa sidang media yang lalu Bukan bertujuan untuk mengancam atau mengugut atau juga menghalang mereka-mereka yang ingin bertanding dan yang bakal di pilih dalam pemilihan akan datang.
2.Tujuan utama saya adalah supaya Majlis Disiplin Parti Dan SPRM menyiasat mereka-mereka yang bertanding untuk jawatan tertinggi parti seperti Presiden, Timbalan Presiden, Naib-naib presiden, Ahli Majlis Tertinggi Ketua Pemuda Dan ketua Wanita.Tujuan saya mendesak supaya siasatan di jalankan secara telus dan segera adalah kerana mereka-mereka iniadalah bakal tunggak kepada parti dan bakal menjadi tulang belakang kepada parti.
3. Sekiranya mereka-mereka ini terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan kuasa dan rasuah dalam parti ini akan mendatangkan imej yang cukup buruk kepada parti. Bukan maksud saya yang siasatan-siasatan keatas mereka-mereka yang berada di peringkat bawahan perlu di abaikan tetapi tumpuan harus di berikan kepada mereka yang bertanding di peringkat tertinggi Parti kerana sekiranya di dapati bersalah ini akan menconteng arang kepada parti.
4. Cuba kita bayangkan sekiranya mereka-mereka yang terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan kuasa dan politik wang ini menerajui parti satu masa nanti?.Pasti tidak akan ada apa-apa perubahan kepada keadaan parti yang semakin nazak ini.
5.Kita seharusnya menunjukkan contoh yang baik kepada ahli UMNO ,rakyat, pembangkang dan Negara-negara jiran kerana semua mata bakal tertumpu pada Persidangan Agong Umno yang bakal berlangsung.
6. Saya dan Dato Mazlan Harun tidak berniat untuk menghalang Persidangan Agong Umno dari di teruskan, Tetapi saya mengetahui bahawa adanya mereka-merka di dalam UMNO yang menyokong dan bersimpati dengan PAS,KEADILAN, DAP yang akan cuba untuk memastikan Persidangan Agong UMNO yang bakal di langsungkan tidak sah dan terbatal.Mereka-mereka ini juga berusaha untuk memastikan UMNO di haramkan seperti apa yang berlaku pada tahun 1987.
7. Mereka-mereka ini mempunyai bukti wujudnya salahguna kuasa dan rasuah yang mana bukti-bukti ini juga telah di serahkan kepada mahkamah. Dan Majlis Disiplin Parti dan SPRM sehingga kini masih gagal menjalankan sisatan dengan telus, ini secara tidak langsung akan membuka peluang kepada pihak-pihak yang cuba mengharamkan UMNO untuk menggunakan segala bukti-bukti yang ada untuk kepentingan mereka.
8. Apa yang saya dan Dato Mazlan cuba lakukan harus di lihat sebagai satu usaha untuk menyelamatkan UMNO.. Situasi semasa jelas memperlihatkan siasatan dan tindakan yang diambil bukan kepada mereka-mereka yang berjawatan penting dalam parti atau mereka-merka yang bertanding jawatan penting dalam parti.Hanya mereka-mereka yang tidak bertanding diambil tindakan.
9.Saya amat mengharapkan SPRM yang baru di tubuhkan serta di war war kan bakal membawa perubahan dalam usaha untuk menangani rasuah dapat menjalan tugas mereka dengan penuh kredibiliti dan beringriti.Wjud persolan di fikiran saya sudahkah merka-mereka yang di lantik menganggotai di siasat? Siapa pula yang bertanggungjawab melantik mereka? Pepatah inggeris ada menyatakan A pot is calling a kettle black, Kerana saya tahu siapa mereka itu.
10. Siasatan penyalahgunaan kuasa dan rasuah dalam pemilihan parti merupakan satu ujian kepada SPRM DAN Majlis disiplin Parti kerana mata rakyat tertumpu kepada mereka. Bukan sahaja SPRM dan Majlis disiplin parti harus beringat Hakim-hakim yang bakal mengadili kes-kes rasuah dan penyalahgunaan kuasa ini juga perlu berintegriti dan tidak menyebelahi mana-mana pihak supaya proses keadilan dapat di jalankan dengan sempurna.Mereka-mereka ini perlu menjalankan tugas dengan adil dan saksama demi mengembalikan keyakinan rakyat kepada kerajaan.
Saya tidak yakin SPRM dan Majlis Disiplin UMNO akan meyelesaikan semua kes - kes penyalahgunaan kuasa dan politik wang. Kenyataan saya adalah senada dengan kenyataan mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir.
Sila rujuk kenyataan Tun Dr Mahathir yang disiarkan di dalam akhbar Sinar Harian pada 11 Mac 2009.
" Politik Wang: Dr M yakin tiada siapa akhirnya didapati bersalah "
Kuala Lumpur: Bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad yakin tiada siapa individu dalam UMNO yang dikatakan terlibat dalam politik wang akan didapati bersalah kerana setakat ini masih tiada siasatan yang dijalankan.
Katanya, ketika mesyuarat UMNO bahagian diadakan untuk mencalon Majlis Tertinggi UMNo, Pengerusi Lebaga Disiplin, Tengku Ahmad Rithaudeen memberitahu telah menerima lebih 900 aduan berkenaan rasuah dalam pencalonan.
Menurut beliau, orang ramai tertunggu-tunggu untuk mendengar tentang siasatan dan tindakan yang diambil terhadap mereka yang terlibat kernana mesyuarat agung yang akan memilih ahli-ahli tertinggi Majlis Tertinggi akan diadakan tidak lama lagi.
"Tetapi tidak ada apa -apa pun kedengaran berkenaan 900 aduan tersebut. Apakah semua 900 aduan ini sudah didapati tidak berasas dan tidak ada salahlaku oleh sesiapa? Adakah pemilihan calon Majlis Tertinggi bersih seperti kain putih?" kata beliau dipetik dalam blognya.
Menurut beliau,sekarang terdengar pula tentang sogokan kepada perwakilan yang akan hadir pada mesyuarat agung yang akan undi dan tentukan siapa yang akan pegang jawatan apa di dalam parti dengan memberi sogokan sehingga ratusan ribu ringgit.
"Benarkah? Takkanlah semua cerita yang didengar tidak berasas? Wakil - wakil boleh disogok dan mereka boleh beri kemenangan kepada orang yang sogok mereka. Tetapi ingat, rakyat sedang memerhati tingkahlaku UMNO dan pemilihan yang bakal dilakukan" katanya.
Dr Mahathir berkata, jika pada March 2008 ramai rakyat termausk juga ahli-ahli UMNO yang kecewa telah undi parti lawan. Jika mereka lihat UMNO sudah diambil alih oleh perasuahm dalam pilihanraya umum ke13 mereka ini akan sekali lagi undi parti lawan.
"Ingatlah undi ahli-ahli UMNO atau Barisan Nasional (BN) sahaja tidak mencukupi. Undi orang yang bukan ahli, walaupun sedikit bolrh menentukan siapa menang dan siapa kalah. Kali ini perwakilan terima wang sogokan.
"Tetapi apabila UMNO dan BN kalah, tidak jadi kerajaan, bukan sahaja tidak ada lagi peluang tetapi apa yang ada pada perwakilan pun akan tercicir" katanya.
11. Berbalik kepada ISU umno dimana ada pihak yang mahukan supaya saya DAN Dato Mazlan Harun di pecat dan di usir dari UMNO sekiranya saya dan Dato Mazlan berhasrat untuk meneruskan tindakan mengambil injuksi mahkamah, seperti yang di katakan oleh YAB presiden UMNO .Ingin saya nyatakan di sini Tun Dr Mahathir sendiri mengatakan yang UMNO ini korup dan tidak lagi relevan.Apa guna saya dan Dato Mazlan terus berada dalam UMNO sekiranya UMNO tidak boleh di tegur .
12. Saya dan Dato Mazlan sendiri akan keluar dari UMNO tanpa perlu di usir, Seolah-olah sudah tiada lagi Parti lain untuk saya dan rakan-rakan saya berjuang.
13. Saya memohon semua pihak agar mengambil berat pandangan dan saranan saya secara serius, kerana di saat ini UMNO telah kehilangan lima buah negeri cuba renungkan secara mendalam apa yang akan berlaku pada pilihanraya yang akan datang sekiranya keadaan umno masih tidak berubah.
14. Harus di ingat kuasa rakyat kuasa keramat, rakyat yang bakal menentukan siapa yang bakal berkuasa.Hampir separuh dari ahli Umno sendiri sudah hilang kepercayaan kepada parti. Apa yang saya lakukan adalah kerana tidak mahu anak-anak saya menyalahkan saya sekiranya umno dan orang melayu hilang kuasa satu ketika nanti.
Sacara jujur saya terlalu sedih mengapa mereka-mereka yang berjawatan tinggi dalam UMNO bermimpi setiap masa.Mereka tidak langsung memikirkan kepentingan rakyat, hanya memikirkan kepentingan peribadi semata-mata.Perjuangan mereka bukan lagi un tuk melayu dan rakyat yang jelas semuanya perjuangan peribadi.
15. Apa sebenrnya sumbangan mereka-mereka ini kepada rakyat? Kegagalan jelas di lihat dalam system pendidikan, ekonomi,budaya, perpaduan masih gagal di terapkan di kalangan semua bangsa, isu perkauman masih berleluasa. Kerajaan masih gagal membendung kemiskinan. Hanya kegalan yang dapat di lihat dengan jelas. Ini semua jelas berlaku kerana mereka-mereka yang menerajui parti masih beranggapan yang UMNO adalah milik peribadi.Semuanya berkisar tentang kepentingan peribadi.
16. Pada pandangan saya sudah tibalah masanya untuk kita memikirkan satu alternative untuk menubuhkan parti yang boleh memelihara dan menjaga kepentingan orang melayu.Saya sedar untuk memulakan satu perjuangan baru bukan sesuatu yang mudah, akan tetapi ia adalah lebih baik dari terus bergantung dengan UMNO.
17. Saya ingin tegaskan ini adalah pandangan peribadi saya, saya pohon para pembaca memberikan cadangan dan pandangan kepada saya bagaimana cara lagi untuk kita menyelamatkan orang melayu tanpa lagi perlu bargantung kepada Umno. Saya ingin tegaskan juga tiada siapa yang boleh menghalang saya dari terus berjuang, tiada siapa yang boleh menghalang saya dari terus bersuara untuk memperjuangkan bangsa saya.
18. Pecat dan usir lah saya dari umno kalau apa yang saya perkatakan tidak benar.Janji saya perjuangan memartabatkan bangsa melayu akan terus menjadi teras perjuangan saya.Saya akan terus menulis melainkan blog ini juga di haramkan. Saya pohon pandangan semua pihak berkaitan perkara ini. Sekian terima kasih.
Wassalam.

It’s a warning on money politics, says Kadar Shah
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/3/6/nation/3415885&sec=nation
MUAR: One of the two Umno members who threatened to stop the party’s annual assembly later this month through an injunction said it was a warning to the party leadership over money politics.
Muar Umno division committee leader Datuk Kadar Shah Tun Sulaiman said he and former Selangor Umno Youth leader Datuk Mazlan Harun wanted to ensure the party was truly clean of corrupt leaders.
He said the party and Barisan Nasional would face a very serious political problem if those picked to lead Umno were found to be invol—ved in political corruption.
“Mazlan and I had no bad intention towards any top leaders when we said we wanted to apply for an injunction to stop Umno from holding its general assembly,” he said here yesterday.
“What would happen if some parties call for votes of no confidence against ministers from Umno after they are allegedly involved in money politics to win party posts?”
Kadar Shah also said that Umno should not refer graft allegation cases to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Council (MACC).
Since it was against the party’s constitution for Umno matters to be brought to the courts, those charged would challenge the MACC’s action in the court, he reasoned.
To a question, Kadar Shah said those leaders who criticised his plan to apply for the injunction did not care about the party’s future and what could happen when corrupt leaders were elected.
“Maybe they are among those who practise money politics and do not want the party or the MACC to investigate their involvement.
“Both of us love Umno more than our personal interests and do not want to see it destroyed,” he said.

Mohon injuksi halang Perhimpunan Agung Umno 24 Mac ini
UALA LUMPUR, 3 Mac (Hrkh) - Dua ahli Umno bersedia untuk memohon injunksi daripada mahkamah bagi menghalang perhimpunan itu jika saranan untuk menanti hasil siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) terhadap amalan politik wang dalam parti itu selesai, tidak diendahkan.
Menurut laporan bekas exco pemuda, Dato’ Mazlan Haron dan perwakilan Umno Muar, Dato’ Kadar Sulaiman menggesa Umno menangguhkan perhimpunan agung dan pemilihan hujung bulan ini sehingga siasatan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) itu selesai.
Mereka dilaporkan bersedia memohon injunksi daripada mahkamah bagi menghalang perhimpunan itu jika saranan itu diabaikan oleh parti namun tidak menyatakan bila tindakan undang-undang itu akan diambil.
Mengulas aduan mereka terhadap dakwaan salah guna kuasa Perdana Menteri dan Timbalannya kepada SPRM tahun lepas, mereka berkata suruhanjaya itu tidak pernah memanggil mereka “walaupun sekali” untuk memberikan keterangan.
Kedua-duanya mempertikaikan kenyataan Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yang dilaporkan menyebut siasatan salah laku dan politik wang dalam Umno telah ditutup
