In Bernama news website, TS Muhyiddin called on UMNO members to be brave in stating the truth and not tell lies to make the leader feels good. He added if a weakness existed in the party, they should accept it with an open heart and be prepared to overcome it, instead of just listening without doing anything. It is a lie to say everything is good when we know a weakness exists.
Well said Tan Sri. UMNO should always aspire to achieve that. But the problem is nobody is listening and willing to listen. And worst, if you dare to speak up, your are condemned and threathened. Case in point: Dato Ahmad Tajuddin, Secretary of Pahang UMNO. On Friday, he called for all UMNO Supreme Council members to resign. He disclosed that the Pahang MB told him that he would be sacked for making that statement. Do i agree with Dato Tajuddin? I dont. But he stated his stand. exercised his right to speak. In no way he should be sacked! I have a copy of UMNO's constitution. I cant find any provision saying that a member can be sacked just for speaking up. If i am wrong, God saves us.
Dato Sri Najib can surely relate to what TS Muhyiddin said. In 1999, his political career almost came to an abrupt end when he only won his Pekan parliamentary seat with a 241-vote majority. A case of everybody telling him "all ok chief", whereby the real situation was far from it. Wonder what would have happened, had he lost. Muhyiddin as DPM? Well that is academic. The real question now is whether he would go against Dato Sri Najib for the no. 2 post? In fact, Tun Mahathir mentioned his name as a potential for the presidency recently. He must be elated.
