JOHOR BARU, May 15 — A Johor Umno leader today reminded party members to be sensible and avoid the fear-driven rhetoric that claims the position of the Malays is threatened under the multi-racial unity government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“Umno leaders and members who are still lacking in confidence and underestimate the party’s role in the unity government need to accept this with an open heart as this is the best way for the party’s continuity,” said Abdul Halim. Abdul Halim also reminded the party’s critics that without such an effort, it was possible that the Malay nationalist party will be forced into a corner, as the Opposition, with only 26 parliamentary seats and overshadowed by a dominant PAS and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia .
“I do not see Umno as the ‘kingmaker’ in the unity government, but I consider the party to be a ‘peacemaker’ and will act to provide peace for a strong and stable future government,” he said, adding Umno members must ensure that the unity government continues to run smoothly and refrain from being bothered by rumours that the unity government will collapse.
“In fact, they also promised to be willing to put aside their respective egos and forget traditional disputes to ensure that Malaysia rises again to become an economic power in Southeast Asia,” he said.
