PEKAN: Former Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said it is high time for UMNO party to change.
Najib, who stepped down as Umno president after the downfall of Barisan Nasional governmeng in the 14th general election, urged UMNO members to carefully select a good leader and change their behaviors.
“It is time to change. We have to choose the best leaders for the party now and not because of benefits.
“We have to change our values, attitude and approach in order to be respected by the people once again,” he said.
The Pekan MP also urged party members to make sacrifices and be humble.
He said money politics must not be practised anymore if the party wants to change.
“We know that our glory days are over. We lost in the general election even though we spent so much.
“There were those who sulked when they didn’t get allocations. There were those who did get money but said they didn’t. Then there were candidates who received allocations but did not spend it.
“How are we supposed to win when our attitude is like that?” he asked.
