Umno members reminded not to backstab each other
Party president tells members to avoid putting each other down and to instead put the party’s interest ahead of personal interests.
(Free Malaysia Today) – Umno president Najib Tun Razak reminded party members not to resort to fractional politics or divisions as it could affect the party’s performance in the coming general election.
He also said members should avoid putting each other down and instead put the party’s interest ahead of personal interests.
“Fractional politics undermines the performance of a party for elections, when it’s time for elections we must do what is best for the party first,” he told reporters after launching the Pekan Umno delegates meeting, here today.
Najib said such negative practices not only occurred in Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties, but also in opposition parties whereby it frequently happened during party elections.
“This happens within Umno and the opposition. When there is open election and differing views in a political party that practices democracy, there will be situations where various groups resort to such tactics at the grassroots level,” he said.
He said party members need to support selected party candidates by setting aside any negativity and not take the opportunity to sabotage other members.
