YOURSAY ‘If it were donations, where are the receipts? Who issued the receipts?’

Umno needs huge funding, concedes Tajuddin

Thana55: See how the narrative is shifting. Get back to focus. Confirm whether Najib Abdul Razak received RM2.6 billion in his bank accounts? From who? And to whom it was disbursed? Did all these contravene the country's law and Bank Negara regulations?

RM2.6 billion is no small amount and it has taken so long to come up with an explanation. The whole thing is very fishy.

Najib has to be relieved of his duties for a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to take place.

Hot Khong: If it were donations, where are the receipts? Who issued the receipts? Did Najib issue receipts to the donors?

Indeed, no one else in Umno seemed to know that the RM2.6 billion was a donation until the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said so.

RCZ: Don't give us another Umno spin. Also don't confuse political funding with government spending.

And don’t equate political funding with allegedly paying outright bribes to voters, allegedly paying Umno chiefs to sustain their support, allegedly using government machinery for dishonestly winning GE13, etc.

If you can't see the difference, it’s time to vote you and your sick kind out.

Ahmet Al Tarabulshit: Goodness gracious. So, this Umno supreme council member accepts the notion that the election was bought with RM2.6 billion?

Hang Babeuf: I need funding, too. But that fact does not entitle me to connive, lie, grab what I like, and misrepresent my motives and actions to my family, neighbours and the world.

Jaded: Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, please stop digging a hole for yourself. RM2.6 billion for 6,000 branches is still a lot of money. How is the money spent then? Surely the party must keep a record of how funds are used by whom and when?

Share all of this information to clear your party's name. Unfortunately it is not the opposition who is receiving the RM2.6 billion. It’s allegedly your PM.

SMC77: Going by your logic, does it mean Pakatan Rakyat also needs to have RM2.6 billion to compete against Umno?

We are not dumb and since Najib claimed to have three million Umno supporters, I presume you can collect at least RM30 million a year if your annual membership fee is set at RM10 and this figure would go to RM300 million if the fee is set at RM100.

Bringon14: You say that the funding was only known to the top leaders (plural) when all this while it would appear that the only person who knew anything about it was the top leader (singular).

That surely is a situation that could lead to corruption. That is why all that your top leader did was to repeatedly claim that he did not use the money for personal gain.

The stories that are coming out from all of you just keep birthing more questions. What liars you have all turned out to be.

SemoLina: No problem brudder, my cheque for another RM2.6 billion is already in the mail. -Mkini
