Najib: New political model needed for Umno to stay in power


Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said a new political model might have to be introduced to ensure Umno continued to lead the nation.

“We not only need a New Economic Model, we might also need a New Political Model,” he said when launching an Umno Club for retired senior government officers at his official residence Seri Perdana here today.

Najib, who is also Umno president , said the strategy of politics of development was no longer effective now.

“The reason why people are rejecting political parties that have contributed a lot over the years is because of parties that did not change. They are seen as rigid and not dynamic.

“However, if we change and are seen as a fresh and dynamic party, God willing the people’s support for us will continue into the future.

Najib said the good track record of a ruling party was no longer a guarantee that that party would continue to remain in power.

Nevertheless, he said a new political model would not change the objectives of Umno’s struggle but instead in the methods employed to sustain its cause in the context of changes taking place all around.

“People are saying the enviromment has changed but the old methodology is still being used when it should be new environment, new methodology. Only then Umno will be seen as a party that is dynamic,” he said, adding that whatever the changes might be, he would ensure the party did not waver from the cause the founding fathers had for it.

He said, at the same time, there needed to be balance in administering a country.

“There cannot be a situation where the majority group owns the least wealth. That is not a good recipe for long term stability,” he said. – Bernama
