Time To Close Ranks, Says Muhammad Taib

SHAH ALAM, March 16 -- Candidates vying for Umno Supreme Council posts and that of the executive committees of the three wings have been urged to unite despite jostling for positions.

Selangor Umno Liaison Committee chairman Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib said the unity was even more important after party elections as Barisan Nasional would be facing three by-elections.

The by-elections will be an acid test to the new line-up as by then Umno had yet to recover from bruising campaigns in party elections, said Muhammad, who is contesting deputy-presidency, at a meeting between the candidates and Selangor delegates here Monday night.

The other deputy president hopefuls, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam were present.

Aspiring vice-presidents present were Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal, Tan Sri Isa Abdul Samad, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. BERNAMA

DRT: This is a good advice. At the end of the day it is about winning the next general elections and governing Malaysia. No point to win party posts and the party losing the elections due to disunity.

Please note that the UMNO disciplinary committee is acting as the prosecutor, the judge and the executor. This is the fundamental weakness in the set up of the committee which make is supreme in all sense. Are we sure MKT is higher than the disciplinary committee?

Dr Hj Ariffin,
I am not so sure the setup of the Disciplinary Board. Is it like the Domestic Inquiry or and an independent board by itself ?
