JOHOR BAHARU: Prime Minister Najib Razak’s reprimand of Selangor Umno should spur the party machinery nationwide to continue to win over the people.

Umno Supreme Council member Senator Ibrahim Abu Shah said members should address the challenges and continue to inform the people, especially the fence sitters so that they have confidence in Umno.

He said with the government’s efforts in implementing various transformation initiatives to accelerate the country’s development, there was no reason for the people to refrain from giving strong support to Umno and Barisan Nasional(BN).

“If Umno and BN lose the 14th general election (GE14), I think it will be bleak and unfortunate for the Malays and the country.

“Only BN can govern the country and not other parties which have different ideologies,” he told reporters after presenting a working paper at the Johor Umno Convention yesterday.

At the Selangor Umno Convention on November 1, Najib, who is also Umno president, reprimanded Selangor Umno leaders for failing to win over the people in Selangor.

Ibrahim, who is also Umno Education Bureau chairman reminded Umno members to continue to address internal problems to ensure that the party representing the Malays wins GE14 and remains relevant.

“The internal problems, particularly those affecting the unity of Umno members needs to be resolved soon for the sake of the party, regardless of personal interests.”

He added the Johor Umno convention was the best platform for Umno to face political challenges and a signal for members to work hard for the party’s survival.
