Tengku Razaleigh to challenge Pak Lah

Razaleigh to challenge Abdullah for Umno presidency, cites need to 'heal' party

Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has made public his intent to challenge Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for the presidency. He has offered himself to lead Umno to “heal the party”, which he described to be "in a bad way.”

I am offering myself to work for the rakyat,” he told a press conference here today. “Even though I am old but I am still strong.

On the desire of the five opposition-led state government’s desire to do away the National Economic Policy, Tengku Razaleigh said the topic was questioned because some quarters tasked with implementing the policy had “abused their powers to the point of raising ire of both commoners and Umno members.”

“The discrimination should not have happened as the NEP was a trust for the rakyat,” he said. “The policy is not meant solely for a group of people but the rakyat should view its overall objective which is to bring unity to the country. I support the policy in principle but I feel that it should be continued to remain as it was formulated back then.”

All is truly not well!

Is Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah suggesting the Change of Presidency
or the Continuation of NEP as formulated back?
Which one will be more acceptable to AAB?

CMBSS,

Thanks for the link.

Moo_t,

Oh, he doesn't and he thinks he can contribute positively in the near term.

Sharing,

I will rather have AAB.

“The policy is not meant solely for a group of people but the rakyat should view its overall objective which is to bring unity to the country. I support the policy in principle but I feel that it should be continued to remain as it was formulated back then.” I would to hear Ku Li repeat this line during the forth-coming UMNO gathering. Will he get toasted?

Remember when you buy packaged food from a supermarket it has a "Use By" expiry date ?

Yeah, Ku Li has passed his expiry date, politically speaking.

Billy,

When greed is desirous by those who forms the majority, virtue and integrity do not matter to them.

Artchan & Kittykat46,

Ku Li may be history, but he still has aspirations.
