This is getting into a ‘circus’
Yesterday after Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah or Ku Li as he’s more affectionately known as, the former Malaysian Finance Minister announced that he will contest the UMNO presidency and when he’s elected to the post, he aims to form one multiracial party. No more UMNO, MCA, MIC and such.
And the next day, Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek spoke to the media at his Hari Raya Open House in Dewan Sri Amar, saying he’s totally opposed to the single multi-racial party idea, referring to it as “tantamount to dissolving Umno”
Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek
“If any Umno leader were to talk of turning BN into a single multi-racial party, it will be akin to dissolving Umno… and it is a humiliation for Umno. I am not prepared to accept this. Should there be weaknesses (in the BN), they should be rectified but there is no necessity for a structural change. There are ups and downs in history. Today, we see a poor performance by the BN. But that does not mean that the BN has to undergo a total change. Every time there is an economic problem, political problems will ensue. I believe that when the world economic situation improves, the people will come back (to the BN) because there is no government better than BN in bringing about development and giving the people the best”
This is not the first time Ku Li announced his interest for the UMNO top post, but his third time. Well as they say, third try is a charm
