PETALING JAYA: Puad Zarkashi has accused several Umno leaders, who recently pledged to remain in the party to mend it from within, for not doing anything when it lost power in the 14th general election (GE14).
The Umno Supreme Council member said the actions of some had almost wrecked the party.
This included not toeing the party line, forming their own “clusters” and making decisions unilaterally.
He said such actions did not help the party which was in the crosshairs of its rivals.
“There are ways to revive Umno. Honour the party’s decisions, do not make your own decisions. Do not make statutory declarations.
“When you are a leader, act like it. When you are an ordinary member, act like it,” he said in a Facebook post.
Puad said while it was good that many Umno leaders were determined to remain in the party after no longer holding any posts, it was something they should have done after Umno lost federal power.
While Puad did not identify any leader, his post comes two days after Sembrong MP Hishammuddin Hussein said he would spend time “for the future of the party” as he was not as busy as he was before.
The Barisan Nasional treasurer-general also said that Umno must work towards improving itself, adding that “there is a lot of work to be done” to restore the public’s confidence in the party as they could not afford another misstep.
