Uncharted Territory for UMNO

Hey Guys,

Now on politics, yes UMNO is making the headlines once again. After a big win at Bagan Pinang, the mood is swinging high especially with the delegates combing the PWTC to make important votes in order to change certain clause or condition in the UMNO constitution. By this is really one of the pinnacle time for UMNO in light of the 12th General Election that totally in the words of Elvis Presley, "All Shook Up" the once feared and loved Barisan Nasional.

It is high time that UMNO must undergo changes for the better of the country. In view of today's and tomorrow's times, the trend is changing. People are becoming more open and understanding and accountability is or are the words of the day. The rakyat are no longer fools of the ever dominated government machinery of the daily tv news or government-like propaganda programs that will perhaps get to vote for them. Think twice or thrice, the rakyat is no longer fooled by this. With the internet, people are given the freedom to explore and share and enrich all sort of information and experience. From here, the people or the rakyat in general can now make important decisions or say personal findings of important issues that may affect his or her life be it in the country or the world.

Okay, coming back to the up-coming UMNO special general assembly, yes it is 'now or never' for UMNO to embark on this major radicalism and reformation. UMNO (even Barisan Nasional) as a whole can no longer apply the 20th century concept of assuming what the rakyat or people wants, but must ACT actively and diligently and act proActively to the current scenario of the country and the world today. It must portray just like what was mentiond by the PM Dato Seri Najib and DPM Tan Sri Muhyiddin, change. Yes, the word change have occurred over and over since the dawn of Man; from the reformation of Soviet Union via Glasnost and Perestroika to the everything that we see today.

For UMNO to change and to be the party of the 21st century, it is vital that it is not just the party of security for Malays and other Bumis, but also to Malaysians as a whole. Bear in mind, the major most constituents are the general public and the so-called silent majority. They will decide who is to be the next government in power.

So people, for the next 3 days, is where UMNO will be making certain important changes that will surely have important implication and affect to the country as a whole. For UMNO and BN, they must make important changes in order to gain that confidence and reputation especially for the next General Election in 2 years time.

For now for any major change to take place, changes must be done or implemented gradually in order for the objective to be accomplished or defined. Recapping the past, any major radical changes can either lead success or failure so it is best that for any change to take place in UMNO, it must be done properly, efficiently, diligently, and delicately.

With the vision 2020 which will be knocking our doorsteps in about 10 years plus from now, hey that is not sure it is coming closer really closer. For us to be successful and to be on part like any other developed or major economic power, we not only change the structure or embark on major scientific, civil projects, but our mindset needs to be ready for the change because our next generations to come will inherit what our forefathers have given to us.


As an admission, yes I am an UMNO youth member from Putrajaya and no doubt personally yes we must embrace change to get UMNO to be the party of relevance for the 21st century and the next century to come. It must not just be the umbrella for the Malays and other Bumis, but also to Malaysians as a whole. Let us make that UMNO not just the party that once feared and loved but also renowned for its kindness, hospitality, and good intentions.

Cheerios!
