Back With Umno Tajuddin Wants Party To Rise And Stop Riding Along In Unity Gov T

---

 
UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) needs to rise and work towards regaining the trust of the people, not just ‘ride along’ in the unity government, said Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman.
The former UMNO Supreme Council member said he is waiting for an opportunity to help the party win more seats in the upcoming 16th General Election (GE16).
“I hope UMNO will rise again. I am waiting for this opportunity to help as much as I can for the revival of UMNO and BN, and see how we can make the public trust and have confidence in the party.
“Hopefully in GE16 we can win. I can’t just ‘ride along’ like this… this is just riding along, but what can we do? We have our own strength even though we are together, but not just riding along… it’s different.
“We need to speak up, and our voices should be respected. We must continue to speak out and fight for the cause,” he said when met during the BN Golden Jubilee Celebration at Dewan Tun Razak 4 in the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur today.
Two days ago, the former Pasir Salak MP called on former UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and former Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein to return to UMNO to strengthen the party’s position.
Speaking to Utusan Malaysia, Tajuddin expressed his intention to meet the leaders soon to discuss their potential return.
“The president has openly stated that if anyone wants to return, the UMNO Supreme Council is ready to consider,” the former MP said, urging suspended or expelled members to rejoin for the party’s unity.
He is of the view those who haven’t joined other parties still hold loyalty to UMNO. The UMNO man’s six-year suspension was lifted on Nov 25. - Focus Malaysia
