UMNO Is Rotten to the Core?	\| Print \|

by Tun Mahathir Mohamad

1. The 13th General Election is only 2 years from now. I am monitoring the people’s reaction towards UMNO new leadership. I’m shocked. I’m shocked because a former senior leader of UMNO was expressing his dissatisfaction by saying that “UMNO is rotten to the core”.

2. The former senior leader is seriously thinking of joining PAS.

3. The former senior leader also said that most UMNO branch chiefs would only chose people who are less educated in order to keep them from being problematic and hard to control.

4. This resulted into professionals like doctors, lawyers, engineers joining PAS instead of UMNO.

5. The leadership quality in most of the UMNO branches is very bad. Once the Branch Chief quits the top post will be filled by unqualified and uneducated individuals.

6. UMNO is now according to the former senior leader being lead by corrupted individuals. They were elected into the UMNO High Council through money politics.

7. The support for UMNO since Tun Abdullah’s time has dwindled for the people no longer trust UMNO as a political party.

8. There are plenty of reasons as to why UMNO won’t be given the mandate to rule the country in the next General Election.

9. And with the crisis within BN’s other component parties, the coalition is getting weaker.

10. I feel that time is running out for UMNO to fix these problems.
