Dominasi UMNO perlu dikurangkan - Tsu Koon
Petaling Jaya 20 Jun - Gerakan hari ini menggesa dominasi UMNO dalamBarisan Nasional (BN) dikurangkan sebaliknya setiap 14 parti komponen diberi hak yang sama untuk bersuara dan menentukan hala tuju gagasan itu.
Pemangku Presidennya, Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon mendakwa hak sama rata kepada parti komponen yang terkandung dalam Perlembagaan BN tidak lagi diamalkan sejak bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad mentadbir negara pada 1980an.
''Amalan hanya seorang pemimpin (daripada UMNO) yang berkuasa dalam BN perlu dihentikan bagi memulihkan kembali keyakinan rakyat," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika menyampaikan ucapan pada program bual bicara parti itu di Ibu Pejabat Gerakan Selangor di sini malam ini.
Tsu Koon berkata, langkah awal supaya dominasi UMNO dikurangkan boleh dilakukan sekiranya BN mengadakan mesyuarat lebih kerap dan bukannya seperti sebelum ini hanya sekali dalam tempoh dua tahun.
''Saya gembira kerana terdapat usaha-usaha positif untuk mengubah BN dan perkara ini terbukti apabila mesyuarat selepas pilihan raya umum lalu dilakukan hampir setiap bulan.
''Banyak lagi perubahan yang kita harapkan termasuk UMNO perlu menghormati Perlembagaan BN yang digubal pada 1974 yang menyatakan bahawa setiap keputusan yang dibuat perlu sebulat suara," katanya.
Dalam pada itu, Tsu Koon berharap UMNO berubah dengan memberikan peluang kepada golongan liberal Melayu untuk menerajui kepimpinan parti itu.
''Golongan ini seperti Naib Presiden UMNO, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin; Ketua Wanita parti itu, Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz dan Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim adalah lebih bersikap terbuka dan dapat diterima oleh bukan Melayu.
''Langkah ini penting kerana bukan Melayu pada pilihan raya lalu beralih kepada pembangkang disebabkan bimbang dengan usaha kerajaan BN diterajui UMNO memberi penekanan kepada Islam sebagai satu cara hidup dan bukan negara sekular seperti diperjuangkan golongan liberal," ujarnya.
my thoughts:
BN is a coalition of 14 political parties representing various communities in the country. it is a coalition based on mutual respect and understanding of each other's roles, agendas and responsibilities. one should never interfere in each other's internal affairs. that is the basic rule! and it must be observed at all times. this is important to preserve the goodwill and overall interest of BN. as such, these statements made by TS Koh is totally unwarranted and highly improper.
ONE. to say that UMNO dominates BN is not entirely correct. UMNO leads BN. UMNO is the largest party within BN. representing the biggest community in the country. therefore, it is only natural for UMNO to head and lead the coalition. anyway, why not? someone must set the direction and gameplan of BN. it might as well be UMNO.
TWO. TS Koh has gone over the line by suggesting who should be leaders of UMNO. my dear Tan Sri, let UMNO members decide who should be the leaders of UMNO. nobody should tell them who to elect. moreover, from someone who is not a party member. not from the community. what do you get by suggesting this? if everybody were to follow your act, then this would create havoc within BN. someone in UMNO may then suggest that Mr A should be the President of Gerakan. or someone in MCA may suggest that Mr X should be the President of MIC. follow the drift?
i have more to say. but i will stop now. otherwise you might accuse me of interfering with your party.
so please my dear Tan Sri. mind your own business...

A weak leadership invites constant challenges.
The "pre-nuptial" contract is now open for renegotiation. Opportunists are waiting to pounce on the sleeping leader.
Beware of more demands to come.
Parties to the pre-nuptial contract are arguing for a change even though they legally agreed. They will try to convince you of the fairness principle.
Do not fall into the trap.
