Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan issued a stark warning tonight. Pulling out of the unity government could spark national instability.
He spoke while opening assemblies for Wanita, Youth, and Puteri wings. All members should back Umno’s role constructively, he urged. Bring solid ideas and fair critique.
“Quit tomorrow and let chaos reign? No. That bows to raw emotion,” he said.
“Statesmen think deep and act smart, as elders advise.”
Known as Tok Mat, Mohamad drew from history. Unchecked rifts topple governments.
Dangers of a Power Vacuum
No succession plan means vacuum, not freedom. Economies crash, investors bolt, people hurt most, he warned.
Vengeful extremes rise when politics turns bitter. Fractured leads invite foreign hands.
“Anger kills wisdom. Toppling power skips the rebuild duty,” he added.
Current pacts fix no deep Umno woes.
“Endless alliance flips distract. They dodge real healing,” Tok Mat stressed.
Debate brews inside Umno over staying put.
Context of Internal Pushback
Youth chief Akmal Saleh spoke at a January 3 convention. He urged ditching unity support for opposition. Cited 3R breaches on race, religion, royalty.
President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stands firm. Umno stays loyal until next general election.
