Despite a differences of views with UMNO leadership, UMNO maestro Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah says he will not follow a stairs of his colleague Kadir Sheikh Fadzir to give up a party.
In an disdainful talk with Chinese Oriental Daily News published today, a Gua Musang MP (right) maintained his loyalty to UMMO as well as voiced satisfaction with his stream standing in a party.
"I'm still giveaway to do things as well as say things we wish in UMNO. Although a little of my statements will make a little people in UMNO unhappy, which does not meant we should leave UMNO," he was quoted as saying.
He likened a situation to a relationship of dual brothers in a family who infrequently quarreled with any alternative though which does not meant they contingency reject any other.
The former Finance Minister is now a President of Amanah Merdeka, a NGO founded by him together with alternative stream as well as former BN leaders.
Last week Kadir Sheikh, a single of Amanah Deputy Presidents as well as additionally a former UMNO minister, resigned from a celebration which he had assimilated for 56 years. This followed attacks by UMNO leaders as well as mainstream media over his allegations which UMNO leaders were involved in vote-buying.
On a role of Amanah, Razaleigh pronounced a open notice which it will offer as a third force in a Malaysian domestic landscape was a misunderstanding since he has no goal to quarrel BN or UMNO by Amanah.
He pronounced a NGO was instituted by Kadir Sheikh (right) as well as others, as well as he reluctantly suppo! sed 
the Presidency after they aggressively lobbied him. Describing his presidency as a figure head, Razaleigh pronounced he is ready to vacate a post during any time if there was a more suitable candidate. The group, however, is not as active as reputed by a little quarters, he said.
"I attended a launching though after which we did not do much. The major reason is we have been too busy."
Although most of a members wish Amanah to be purebred as a domestic celebration as well as fool around a significant role in a subsequent general election, Razaleigh held a discordant stand: "I'm a single of a minority who against it since I"m already a UMNO member. we can't be a member of dual domestic parties."
"Some people consider we should give up UMNO though we have been active in UMNO for roughly 50 years," he continued, reiterating which he has no goal during all to leave a ruling party.
Dual-party membership disallowed
He simplified which he as well as his colleagues in UMNO did not give up a celebration in 1987, instead they had no preference though to form Semangat 46 since they were not authorised by a afterwards Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stick on a 'new UMNO' founded by Mahathir when a strange UMNO was declared illegal by a court.
After a 1995 general election, Mahathir requested which they lapse to Umno, as a result they dissolved Semangat 46, he said. Asked why Semangat 46 was dissolved, Razaleigh simply answered which it was since a chairman is not authorised to have dual-party membership. There was conjunction any promise by Mahathir nor any ask by him when both factions reunited.
On a alle! gations which Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim (left) approached him as well as alternative BN parliamentarians to stick on Pakatan Rakyat to topple a federal supervision on Sept 16, 2008, Razaleigh denied it.
He pronounced Anwar did rivet him to form a new supervision though did not lobby him to stick on Pakatan.
"At which time we told him we will not follow him. we will continue to stay in UMNO as well as we wished him good luck. we additionally advised him not to be over assured since these people (BN MPs) will change their mind anytime as well as he might be disappointed. But Anwar replied which he will continue to pull for it. Looking behind now, we was right. The devise was indeed tough to be realised," Razaleight revealed.
On Anwar's ability, Razaleigh pronounced he is an superb politician who can combine all a 3 antithesis parties though his ruling genius has yet to be tested.
Contrary to a popular perception, Razaleigh commented which a Achilles' heel of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's administration department is a concept of 1Malaysia."Many people will ask if we really believe in 1Malaysia, why there have been still so many racial issues?"
Although Najib (left) is a hardworking politician, Razaleigh noted, a single of his biggest hurdles is to residence a problems hereditary from a previous administration, together with discriminatory policies, corruption as well as poor open smoothness system.
"Take a domestic celebration as an example. Some people might ask, how can we promote 1Malaysia when a celebration we lead, which is UMNO, is still a racial party?"
