Umno polls to be postponed?

This is not surprising.Instead of solving the problems facing the party head on,Umno prefers to sweep them under the carpet,only to re-emerge with a bigger magnitude.

Pak Lah would be making a grave mistake by following the style of his predecessor in postponing the elections.He must play by the rules of the game and not shift the goal-posts so as to ensure victory for himself all the time.

The BN and Pak Lah may be down but not out yet.They have been given another chance to re-organise and revamp to become relevant again to Malaysians.

Umno polls to be postponed?

Umno may postpone its party elections to next year in order to avoid “havoc”. said its information chief Muhammad Muhd Taib.

Speaking at a press conference in his office at the Rural and Regional Development Ministry today, Muhammad said that there was a big possibility that this is happening.

“We have received feedbacks from the party leaders of all states and they asked that the party elections be postponed to next year,” he said.

He added that “almost all divisional and state leaders advised that the party elections be delayed for fear of creating havoc”.

When asked if it was because of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah’s challenge to the party’s leadership post, the former Selangor menteri besar was evasive in his reply.

“Things are blur right now and people cannot see clearly. There is no space to make rational decision and when this happens, the outcome may be a regrettable one,” said Muhammad.

He said that the matter would be discussed at the party's supreme council meeting this Thursday.
