The trouble with UMNO is its culture.
Through the years its national and state leaders have always said "respect your elders", "be grateful","be sincere" etc. But the truth is, they don't walk the talk. Nobody seems to respect the elders, no one seems grateful, and sincerity seems to be a rare commodity.
Take respect for elders. In the Malay culture, an elder is not just someone older.He's also someone senior in rank, a leader, present or past. The respect is not so much for his age or rank as for his knowledge and experience. It seems UMNO only recognizes the present, when in fact there is no present without the past, and the future will judge the present.
Once you become the past,the present doesn't care about you,unless you are going to affect the future.
Once you leave office, even if it was a very long service, you're a piece of furniture.
Then there is gratitude. There's just 2 words for it - forget it.
Sincerity ? Hypocrisy is more abundant.
And you wonder why the crap has finally caught up with UMNO?
