Najib's speech at UMNO's AGM 2015.

11.12.2015.

I have to write this bit, even as the AGM is still going on, and even if this time Veteran UMNO Malaysia was given only 5 Observer's passes.  I didn't get one.

I want to say that in his opening speech, Najib did all his usual shouting and rabble-rousing, and obviously hitting out at his two most prominent critics who were present, knowing full well that they can only squirm and swallow their anger  because they can't answer back. Some guts, Najib !

You quote the UMNO constitution about the role of the Deputy President to assist the President. But you fail to mention the role of the President to allow the Deputy President to be one.  Why would you let Party members go through all the hassle of  party elections and select all these committee members if you're not going to let them do their work ? In as much as the President is owed respect for the post he's elected to, so does the Deputy President own the right to act out his position, which obviously includes speaking at party meetings like this one. 

You shout about democracy and popular vote. Denying the popularly elected Deputy President the basic right of speaking is democratic ?

Forget about tradition in UMNO, that the no. 2 man always opened the Wings' Conference. What does the Party Constitution say ? 

With today and tomorrow, there are still two days left. Let's see what happens.
