news one. (The Sun)
DS Rafidah Aziz, Wanita UMNO Chief, had a meeting with wanita UMNO leaders yesterday. here are some of her remarks:
ONE, "remember, we are not just changing the UMNO president, we are changing the prime minister. other parties can change their president tomorrow, they can tell their president to go today; not UMNO. we are talking about the prime minister and this country has never had a prime minister who has been pushed out in our history; always remember that".
TWO, "no one should say 'i'm free of blame', there should be no such nonsense as everyone at all levels - be it president, deputy, exco, supreme council and grassroot level - should not absolve themselves of blame. only the proportion of the blame is different, but it is not fair to point fingers".
my comment:
i agree on point one. yes it is unprecedented. but we are also in unchartered waters. new political senario altogether. BN lost its 2/3 majority - never before. the opposition won so many parliamentary seats, plus 5 states - never before. as they say - there is always a first for everything. so under these new circumstances, should we stick to our so-called tradition of doing things? we are in a crisis. and crisis demands immediate and drastic measures.
i am 100% with you Datuk Seri on point two. everybody must shoulder the blame. but more importantly, be accountable. be responsible. if you just shoulder the blame but do nothing, what is the point. and it is not a case of pointing fingers, it is about accountability. politicians always talk about accountability. but somehow, it is only talk. it seems that everybody else must be accountable except politicians. when GLCs do not perform well, you install new CEOs. you make the CEOs accountable. well and good. but when you lose a state, what do u do? nothing. you continue to be the state liaison chairman. is there no honour in politics anymore?
one more thing Datuk Seri. i propose you to be the new sec-gen of UMNO. your combative style may be what UMNO needs in this new political landscape.
