Sabah Speaker: Umno needs to focus on GE14

“And one crucial ingredient for Umno’s survival is support from Sabah and Sarawak.”
Umno SabahKOTA KINABALU: Umno needs to focus, and the focus must be on the coming general election, GE14, writes Sabah Speaker Salleh Said Keruak in his latest blog posting.
“And one crucial ingredient for Umno’s survival is support from Sabah and Sarawak.”
So let us (Umno) therefore, he added, not try to take advantage of other people’s problems when we have yet to resolve our own issues. “This is what we have to seriously take into consideration if we want to come through the next general election unscathed.”
“It may not be prudent at this stage to attempt to capitalize on the problems within the opposition coalition, as the dust has not quite settled.”
Umno has to be very careful before jumping in, he warned. He noted that some in Umno want the party to align itself with a certain faction in PAS or even invite the “disgruntled members from PKR” to leave their party and join Umno.
He doesn’t say how this will help since the “disgruntled members from PKR” he mentioned were previously mostly in Umno which in itself is badly in need of reform after nearly 70 years.
“PKR and PAS appear to be facing a crisis, both within their respective parties and also with one another,” he claimed. “DAP is watching to see which group will emerge the victor before deciding on its alignment.”
The reality is that both Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat are seeing inter-party squabbles with fiery statements flowing to and fro, he conceded in waxing lyrical. “Patience is wearing thin and tempers are flaring.”
“Many parties are facing internal conflicts, some out in the open and some simmering below the surface just waiting to erupt.”
Thus far, he noted, that Malaysia’s political divide has been very ideologically oriented with both sides of the fence almost equally represented by all ethnicities.
“That, however, is beginning to change with talk that the new political landscape may be Malays on one side and non-Malays on the other,” Salleh claimed.
“If this prediction comes true that will not augur well for the country, which is a melting pot of ethnicities, cultures and religions.”
That is the sort of divide that has torn many countries apart and which will also happen to Malaysia if we are not careful, he warned.
2015 may be a very explosive year not only internationally but also for Malaysia.
Meanwhile, Malaysia will not be spared either, from what’s happening in the world outside.
“The year literally started with a bang when Paris saw one of its worst acts of terrorism in recent years,” said Salleh. “This was followed on Sunday by a massive 1.5 million people march to protest what they said was an attack on free speech.”
“2015 may prove to be a very explosive year not only internationally but also for Malaysia.”
The economy may take a beating with the price of oil expected to drop below US$45, which will see many countries on the brink of bankruptcy, he said.
“There is even talk that some countries may abandon the Euro and go back to their own currency.”
