I got a call earlier. It was from a UMNO Youth Chief of one of the UMNO branches in the PJ Utara Division, asking me on behalf of his UMNO Branch Chief if I could officiate the opening ceremony of the branch’s annual general meeting. Probably because I am a non-conformist.
As a matter of fact, that particular Branch Chief is also a non-conformist. Being a Division Committee Member himself, he had spoken out against Nazri Aziz’s blatant disrespect for Dr Mahathir. Well, his choice of words may have been what I would use when I am angry, but in a political meeting, he could have chosen a better figurative word to describe Nazri Aziz.
So I am to give a speech…and in my speech they expect me to talk about the current “clash” (if you can call it that) between Dr Mahathir and Pak Lah.
Hmm…it has been a year since I gave my last political speech, and concentrated more on diving. Well, I’ll just be my usual self and fire away I guess…but factually.
Interesting to note however that the PJ Utara UMNO’s Youth Movement has invited Dr M to officiate their meeting. It would be very interesting to see. I must congratulate the movement for having cojones and not relegate itself to being another “yes-men” movement.
If a political party cannot accept criticisms, it is doomed to die natural death.
