So Malaysians must now thank Umno for every grain of rice on their dinner plate?

The religions of the Book all teach us that it is out of the Almighty Creator’s mercy, kindness and compassion that we creatures are able to clothe, shelter and feed ourselves. It is because of that unconditional love of the Almighty for all of us that we have every grain of salt, every grain of rice and every drop of fresh water as blessings.

But at this year’s Umno General Assembly we are being taught otherwise by a good doctor. How so?

It is reported that according to Dr. Mohamad Nawar Ariffin – the Kedah Umno delegate, “every grain of rice you eat is because of Umno.”

Well that is what he proclaimed to the audience at PWTC citing what he tells his 12-year old child.

"I told my 12 year old child that every grain of rice you eat is because of Umno."

What then are we to expect next? That every drop of clean, bottled drinking water; every grain of salt in our food; and every thread of yarn we clothe ourselves with – all of these are possible in Malaysia because of Umno?

Then it is high time to sell this Umno brand of politics and governance to the entire world of famished, poverty ridden nations. At least they too can have food, shelter and clothes la.

This Umno that professes to be the sole vanguard and guardian of Islam against the diabolic agentries that threaten the religion and its followers is now implying through the mouth-piece of its sworn supporter that Malaysians ought to be grateful to Umno because every grain of rice that enters our mouths is because of Umno.

Malaysians, so do you agree that “every grain of rice you eat is because of Umno’? if yes, then let us disband every other political party and just have Umno all the way so we can have rice on our dinner plate all our lives.

Sheesh!
