Activists, NGOs, civil society groups and political parties have banded together to oust Umno from the country's administration come the next general election.
Dubbed 'Asalkan Bukan Umno' (Anything But Umno) or ABU for short, the movement says that though it has the support of political parties, it will remain a people's movement.
ABU will be motivated only to restore the rights of the people and the nation's riches, which it claimed the Malay party has ravaged with near impunity.
The movement was launched at simultaneous press conferences all across Peninsular Malaysia today, while Sabah and Sarawak will see similar launches at press conferences next week.

The sooner Umno goes the better. If Najib doesn't arrest the super-corrupt CM of Sarawak - Taib soon, his integrity, moral & credibility go to the dogs. It's as simple as that and the whole world sees too clearly. He is thus supporting Sarawak 45 year regime (Yakub & Taib) that has plundered billions of $ and couldn't care less for the people who elected them! Umno is just as corrupt.
ReplyDeleteI fully support this movement, but please beware that, just like Bersih 2.0/3.0, the desperadoes might just brand it as 'illegal' and organise a crackdown against its activities.
