Malay politics gets more fractured now.
What was previously a straightforward UMNO vs PAS for the majority Malay votes are now divisive totally for the Malay voterbank. No matter the ideals of each, they have all contributed in their own short-sightedness to this present malady.
From the spectrum of correcting Malay economic imbalances to rightwing racial privileges, UMNO brings multifaceted elements that have brought forth the Malay-muslim growth enjoyed by my generation. That is now at risk.
Accumulated misdemeanours over the years during UMNO leadership of the Malays and the country I can categorize into two:
1. institutional abuses seen before during the constitutional crisis and replayed out in full in the appointment of senior positions.

2. has not reasonably dealt with howling mad racial-based demands
A compliant chief of police with selective investigation and questionable record of keeping public safety. Not to say, poor record of defending itself from false allegations. Here's one, and my conclusion is right at the bottom.

Can google "strip search Chinese national" here- reported by an Australian daily:
"The one-minute, 11-second clip starts with a female police officer ordering a naked Chinese woman, possibly in her 20s, to do the squats while holding her ears. The footage, taken on a mobile phone, appears to have been shot through a window without either woman's knowledge.

Lim Kit Siang, leader of the opposition Democratic Action Party, called it Malaysia's Abu Ghraib, a reference to the humiliating abuse of Iraqi prisoners in a US military prison near Baghdad.
A DAP politician, Teresa Kok, played the video clip in parliament on Friday to politicians and the media. "Is it standard practice for police to ask detainees to strip naked and to do ear squats?" Ms Kok asked afterwards.
Mr Lim said that the Malaysian public were entitled to know why the police as a whole "seem so indifferent and detached in a police scandal which had rocked the country and has such far-reaching consequences to the country's tourism, trade, economy as well as the country's international standing, particular the Malaysia-China relationship".
The issue died down after the girl was identified in an official inquiry after a delayed reasoning that this was standard procedure elsewhere (which it is). The lady's name is Hemy, of Malay descent.
