An Interesting Take on UMNO by Kadir Jasin 

 

Check out this article in FMT :: Malays shouldn’t give Umno a blank cheque yet, says veteran newsman 

 Some pointers from what A kadir Jasin has to say ::

1.  He said Umno’s top leadership still showed signs of “kleptocratic and kakistocratic” rule.

Kleptocracy is a system of government in which political leaders or senior government officials abuse their positions to embezzle public funds for their own enrichment.

Kakistocracy, meanwhile, refers to a system of government led by those who are the least qualified, incompetent and corrupt.

 2.  Kadir also quoted Umno founder Onn Jaafar, who once said: “Fighting the Malayan Union was the easy part; the harder task is fighting the Malays themselves. To fight the Malays is to fight our own attitudes, habits and conduct.”
