“I am more at ease talking to Umno members (at the grassroots) than those higher up because, eventually, it is the grassroots who will determine victory or defeat,” Said Tun Dr. Mahathir former Malaysian Minister.
- Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has welcomed a proposal to amend the Umno constitution to allow 60,000 delegates instead of 2,600 ,to elect the party leaders, saying it would be the best way to check corruption.
- He reminded that eventually Umno members would have to change and cease the practice of accepting and giving bribes.
- “This is the third amendment to the Umno constitution to check corruption among Umno members, but if Umno members continue to give preference to accepting bribes of RM200 and RM300 than the party, race and country, any amendment will not yield the desired results,” he said.
- The draft of the amendment to the Umno constitution is expected to be ready before the party’s general assembly later this year.
