It took 6 months after the 'political tsunami' March 8 general election and a landslide victory in the recent Permatang Pauh by-election that has awoken some quarters in UMNO that changes and improvements needs to be done.
It's now buck up or be shipped out on Pakatan Rakyat's ship for UMNO and BN coalition party leaders...SHEESH!!! Talk about slow learners...
"The people of Malaysia demand leadership that can be trusted to unite us, to restore confidence in our institutions, and to forge a clear national direction." said veteran politician Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and has also called for a renewal in the leadership of UMNO.
"We have a credibility problem now due to the weak leadership. If we still continue with our good old ways, we will be defeated again." said Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir who is MP for Jerlun. He also said changes in UMNO's top leadership should take place now.
In Muar, several Umno branch leaders represented by Datuk Kadar Shah Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah said Umno leaders should realise by now that the Malays, including those in Permatang Pauh, had lost confidence in Umno's leadership.
He said they should accept the fact that they needed to adopt a more realistic approach if they wanted to regain the confidence of the Malays.
He said that one major reason for Barisan's loss was the swearing on the Quran by both Saiful Bukhari Azlan and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said Umno leaders should not allow the use of the Quran to resolve personal matters or to prove one's innocence. “We are sad that the Quran has been used as a means to resolve personal and political matters.
And in Kuala Terengganu, Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said the Barisan election had failed to do its 'homework' and was ill prepared. Even more shocking to him was seeing the in-fighting
among UMNO members who were interested in vying for party posts during the crucial periods instead of working together.
With these new comments and thoughts by UMNO disidents must be choking for DSAAB. I'm sure he knows himself that his time is near. Come budget day, it's gonna be a very solemn looking DSAAB attending. For once think I'll make time and watch the budget live so as not to miss the facial expression...hahaha!!!
