Muhyiddin: Umno is for all, not just for some

Leaders come and go, but the party goes on in the struggle for the people, God and the nation.

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Deputy President Muhyiddin Yassin, who was sacked as Deputy Prime Minister on July 28, has expressed disappointment that there are people who seem to have quickly forgotten his four decades of service for the party including the time when it was declared unlawful. “These people are labeling me a traitor to the party because of the twin nightmares, the RM42 billion 1MDB scandal and the RM2.6 billion issue. It seems that it no longer matters that I helped Umno return to strength in Johor as its fortress after it had to be registered again.”
“The critics are demanding that I give up the Umno Deputy President’s post to which I was elected by members. Only our commitment to the truth and justice will save Umno. The people are watching us.”
There are those who want to bring him before the Disciplinary Board of the party, he noted. “Among them are those that I have helped in various ways while I was in government.”
He added that the party’s image had been sullied and tarnished by the RM42 billion 1MDB scandal and the controversial RM2.6 billion political donation which did not go to the party but was instead deposited in Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s personal accounts. “As the party number two, I have been trying to help manage the image of the party despite these two issues and others affecting it in the eyes of the people.”
“I am not the one affecting the image of the party but the twin scandals which are not going to go away unless we make an effort to resolve them. I appealed to my colleagues many times, while in government, to work together and help resolve the twin scandals which were eroding the confidence of the people in the party.”
He expressed regret that once a person no longer had a post in government, it seems the norm was to forget the past history of service, and instead disrespect and criticize the person. “I am facing this situation at the moment,” said Muhyiddin. “One of my harshest critic is a division chief in Selangor who himself has been asked by his members to step down on the grounds of loss of confidence in his leadership.”
Muhyiddin was recording his appreciation to his many supporters and Umno Youth in particular, especially its leader Khairy Jamaluddin, who had declared his support for him as the party’s number two and taken a firm stand on resolving the twin scandals facing the party and government. “My spirit remains strong. Khairy has been guided by faith and a strong belief in the truth and justice in taking a firm stand on the twin scandals.”
“I will continue to struggle for the people, God and the nation. I am confident that Malays will not become a people who are looked down upon by others because I know that they will be guided by their faith, and the principle that the truth and justice matters in maintaining their dignity.”
We will be respected as a people, he continued, as long as we are led by leaders who are respected because they are trustworthy and god-fearing. “Leaders come and go, but the party goes on in the struggle for the people, God and the nation. I leave my fate in the hands of Allah just as the almighty will determine the fate of others as well.”
Muhyiddin went on in his statement to point out that the people were deeply concerned about the state of the economy, the declining exchange rate for the ringgit, the rising cost of living and the loss of confidence on the part of consumers and investors in the market, economy, the government and the country. “We need to restore the confidence of all stakeholders in Malaysia,” he said. “We need to take the bull by the horns on the various issues facing the country. Failure is not an option.”
