KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 17 (Bernama) -- Umno executive committee member Datuk
Mukhriz Mahathir today expressed his disappointment that Umno has been focusing
more on Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's antics
that it disturbed the party's branch meetings which ended three days ago.
"We now have a confidence crisis in the party, and surely we need a strong,
new approach to resolve our internal problems to ensure that Umno remains
relevant to the people.
"I believe that people are not so supportive of Anwar but disappointed with
Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN). Therefore, we should not get carried away by
Anwar's antics but focus on our party elections and restoration agenda.
"Sept 16 has passed while the BN government is still standing. He (Anwar)
has now come up with another excuse -- wait until 48 hours, but still there are
people who believe his bluff.
"I am confident the BN government will remain in power, and I urge all the
qualified individuals in Umno Youth to contest in the party elections as young
leaders can help rejuvenate the party," he told Bernama here today.
He also said that Umno Youth should go back to its original role of being a
pressure group in the party but with decorum, "otherwse, we would become
irrelevant and disappoint the people".
