KUALA LUMPUR: Members of Umno who tend to act as spokespersons for other parties have been described as worse than previous Umno leaders who had defected and joined rival political parties.
Speaking at the party’s general assembly today, the head of the Federal Territories Umno, Johari Abdul Ghani, said that some of these people only became spokespersons for another political party after they were appointed cabinet ministers.
He urged party representatives to take note of some members of the PKR and DAP who had stood firm and stuck with their parties through thick and thin despite losing several times in the general election.
“I am not trying to praise other parties, but I would like all of you (representatives) to read a look at DAP and PKR.
“We have won 13 times and lost one. They lost 13 times and won one. The difference between them and us is that after losing, many ‘fled,’ “he said.
Johari also praised former Umno president Najib Razak for his loyalty and stance towards the party, despite facing various charges in court.
“In his many posts on Facebook, not once has he criticized Umno or its members. Although Najib and I have some differences, when it comes to fighting to protect the party, I support it, ”he said.
