UMNO INTERNAL PROBLEM, WHY DRAG YANG DIPERTUAN AGONG, SULTAN MIZAN




It seems that the internal problem of UMNO is a problem of the nation. This preception by UMNOputras need to change. There is no reason for the Yang DiPertuan Agong, Sultan Mizan to involve himself in the internal problem of UMNO. UMNO is a political party and its members need to decide on its affairs. The Yang DiPertuan Agong is the supreme head of the government and need to only deal with government matters.

Tun Dr Mahathir's resignation is a matter for UMNO to decide and Tun Dr Mahathir demanding the resignation of UMNO President Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is a political party internal matter which need to be done according to its rules and not at the whims and fancies of individuals. Tan Sri Aziz Taha, a veteran UMNO leader should have realise this and not made this comment.

The Barisan Nasional has given its confidence to Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from UMNO to be appointed the Prime Minister and only the BN has the powers to change this and not UMNO which is only a partner in the 14 coalition party where every partner has a equal say and vote. The preception that BN is UMNO among UMNOputras need to change too.

As such, UMNO need to resolve its own internal disputes.

Again, as a normal member of UMNO i am appealing to UMNO to build a system where we can directly vote for UMNO office bearers. Also the announcement of cawangan meeting be publish in the media or Internet - So that as a member we could make an advance plan to attend the meeting. Since becoming an UNMO member about 20 years ago, I don't get any invitation letter to attend the meeting - nor did i know of such a meeting ever conducted.

If I am not appreated as a member - there is of not much use of retaining the membership? Or they prefer common members like us to jump ship instead?
