Why summit the letter to UMNO? Shouldn't it be to the State Legislative Assembly? Unless I'm mistaken, the post of Opposition Leader is legally recognized within the Assembly. Another prime example of political meddling.
Perhaps hoping rakyat will forget the whole episode by playing with time. And who knows, this bum was given all the time in the world to tamper his case. This is how Bolehland acts on their cronies. If this bum is from the opposition, he will be dead standing, literally.
I bet my last cent, with the present bunch of "learned judiciary", this arrogant, corrupted and racialistic "pendatang" will be found innocent eventually. As usual, not enough evidence, he did not break any Bolehland laws etc etc..
