The cat is out of the bag, GE 15, Zahid's Mother of all General Elections is nothing but a means to prevent BN leaders from facing criminal trials.

Finally, the truth is out in the open. The cat is out of the bag. The so-called mother of all elections is nothing but a ploy to stop BN leaders from having to face criminal charges.

This was revealed during Zahid's most recent speech at the MIC annual delegate's assembly on Monday, October 10.

In the video that has since gone viral Zahid said “Candidates from MIC, Umno, MCA and PBRS have to win in a dominant fashion. It’s now or never. This election is the mother of all general elections. If we fail, our fate will be worse than the last election." (The Sun Daily)

He went on to say, "Right now, only I will be charged, Tok Mat, you are on the waiting list, Tan Sri Vicky, don’t laugh, you are also included. What more Datuk Seri Saravanan ?...Wee Ka Siong? They won’t forget you. You will be charged as well.  Defence minister Hisham, don’t smile.

"To avoid this, we have to secure a dominant victory, my brothers and sisters,“ said Zahid. (The Sun Daily)  

Charles Santiago, MP for Kelang who has also filed an injunction to stop the elections due to the upcoming rainy season and floods said Zahid forced a general election purposely to “sanitise” his own reputation. Check out a report on his filing of the injunction at The Vibes.

Santiago went on to say in his statement that “We have seen democracy under siege in Southeast Asia due to fierce geopolitical competition, inability to accede to a smooth transition of power and of course, corruption being the order of the day. But Zahid’s power grab takes the cake. He edged former prime minister and current Bersatu leader, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, out and held the caretaker premier, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, under siege. So, what is the reason for forcing this election on us if not to sanitise Zahid Hamidi’s reputation and allow him to finagle his way out of prison?" (The Sun Daily)   

Santiago said that this power grab, Zahid's style suggested only one thing, that is to avoid BN leaders from having to face criminal trials for corruption etc, if their coalition lost in the next general election.

Thus to avoid this, Zahid said BN has to secure a “dominant victory” at the national polls.

We hope that this mother of all general elections just like Saddan's mother of all battles, will eventually bring the downfall of UMNO-BN and pray that all their leaders who are involved in criminal activities will be brought to justice.

Incidentally, the grandiose moniker used by Zahid is in reference to a phrase popularized by late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who famously described the Gulf War as "the mother of all battles" that took place in January 1991.

But you know what happened to Saddam Hussein not long after that? He was captured brought to trial and executed.

We do not execute corrupt politicians. Not as yet but we just jail them.

Even that would be sufficient to cleanse the country of the mother of corruption if indeed there was such a phrase and a possibility to seal the fate of Zahid and his cronies and prevent further damage that they could bring upon this beautiful country of ours.
