"Sang Saka Bangsa" - Another Lie From A Flagging Umno.
Umno Youth will propose for the 60-year-old party flag to be named "Sang Saka Bangsa" (the embodiment of the race's spiritual heritage) at Umno's general assembly next week.
The move to name the Umno flag had generated widespread support from party members and veterans, said Umno Youth secretary Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan. "Umno Youth hopes the proposal will be endorsed by the assembly," he told a press conference here Thursday. The Umno general assembly will be held from Monday until Nov 17 at the Putra World Trade Centre, here.
In a statement, Aziz said although the name sounded alien it was in fact a genuine Malay phrase. "Sang Saka are Malay words despite Indonesia naming its flag Sang Saka Merah Putih," he said, adding that "Sang" was a polite address in a highly cultured Malay society in the past.
He said "Saka" meant the heritage of the Malay civilisation or spirit as a credible civilisation while "Bangsa" portrayed a sovereign Malay race clamouring for its rights and honour.
**** The lengths to which these Umno Youth types will go to deceive the unsuspecting simpletons in the party and the nation. First they blatantly copy the Indonesians then justify the name on purely nebulous grounds. To me this has all the makings of yet another superficial attempt at shoring up their sagging fortunes with a major bangsa tilt, hoping that there are sufficient idiots who still believe in this sort of melodramatic posturing.
By the way the ridiculous name above was derived from a combination of five names which were shortlisted from 2,000 entries in a contest in conjunction with the party 60th anniversary. After 2000 entries and a strict shortlisting and selection process they come up with a 'plagiarized' name! Speaks volumes of the overflowing talent in the party.
Whether 'Sang Saka Bangsa' or 'Song Sung Blue' the future doesn't look any brighter just because of this cosmetic name change. A leadership change perhaps will be a more beneficial move for the party. But who cares a damn for the party? All they care is about themselves. Sang Saka Bangsa indeed!!

when will they ever learn?
They like to brag around about the past..
Sooner or later, M'sia is going to merge with Indon with a "bumi content" >90%?? (same like the local corporate merger?).
Then, the bumi quota will be >90%.
Another merger..Name it Indomalay..As if it's not happening...for a non-Indon profesional foreigner to request a PR status in Malaysia could run up to years or decades.But if you are a cement laying Indon,you are invited to be a Malaysian.I don't know if that was a baseless statement.But from what i heard from my frens that's what happening in M'sia.
For a minority in M'sia you have to take what's left after being distributed to the majorities whether in eduction,housing,financial and more else.But if you were a indon immigrant you are rocketed to be a B***p***a and enjoy all the perks especially in Selangor.For non-B**i ,try to buy a house nor land in areas such as Ampang,gombak and many more.It's like applying to the moon.But you can't miss the Indon township's in those areas.Maybe it's in line with our Selangor chief's vision..Indomalay 2020.....
I decided to blog in this site using the anonymous because we all know giving personal information here will come back to bite you.
Having said that, this is another desperate attempts by UMNO to set a net to bring people back in. Listen, UMNO sucks and it continued to be just that!
UMNO is arrogant and people that fill the top of UMNO are family members of the founders. It's family affairs you know. BUMIPUTERA IS ONLY GOOD FOR MALAYS AND NOT ETHNIC SABAH OR SARAWAK!!
UMNO IS A SINKING SHIP! enjoy it while it last!!!
PM timing really sucks!! Come to think of it, it's not only his timing that sucks. What about his priority? I think BN is on the way out and every time they make policy announcement, they will be greeted with solid respond from opposition and the rakyat.
PM is just trying to survive his political situation. I think he is operating in a dazed and confused state.
Badawi out maneuvered us, using his right hand to deliver appeasement and left hand for poison.
That is “Madu di tangan kanan mu, racun di tangan kiri mu”
1.Sabah appointments of Speakers,Deputy Speaker and RM1 Billion PMs department allocation “Sabah Cabinet HAPPY.Sabah in PMs right pocket.”
2. Sarawak appointment of Deputy Speaker and 1st “Breakfast menu” ringgit-for ringgit matching grant. Evening “Steak” matches RM1 Billion PMs department . “Sarawak Cabinet HAPPY.Sarawak in PMs left pocket.”
UMNO is the titanic and Mahathir is the iceberg. You all know what happens after that. Tu lah kebalikan juga permainan kamu. Habis lah di sumpah tuhan. Kan Muslim tidak boleh corrupt. Jumpa juga tuhan lambat laun...
