UMNO YOUTH TAKE NO ACTION AGAINST MUKHRIZ

Like father like son but the son’s faith is better than father as the Umno Youth executive council chose not to take any action against Mukhriz.

The question arises: Is it a wise decision by not taking action against Mukhriz? Although it is damaging to UMNO and existing two schools of thoughts, but the Umno Youth executive council chose not to take any action.

Umno Youth today decided not taking action against its errant leader, Mukhriz Mahathir but pass the buck back to Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Following the Umno Youth executive council meeting, the movement's chief Hishammuddin Hussein said no action would be taken against Mukhriz for writing a scathing letter to Abdullah demanding that he should resign in the wake of the party’s setback in the March 8 polls.

According to Hishammuddin, the Umno Youth has accepted the controversial letter as a personal missive, which was unfortunately leaked to the public.

Nevertheless he said Umno Youth would not take action against those who leaked the letter to a number of Internet websites.

Hishammuddin also said that the letter was Mukhriz's personal view and this did not reflect the opinion of Umno Youth, which had expressed full support for Abdullah's leadership.

He said that Mukhriz told the closed-door meeting that his views were those of the public and there was nothing wrong with expressing his views.
