Pat Lah & BN Supreme Council dare not sack SAPP.....

Barisan Nasional supreme council today resolved not to take action against Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp) until it gets an "official statement" from the party for its planned no-confidence vote against the prime minister.Tengku Adnan Mansor,BN sec-general said this today on behalf of all 13 component party members, minus Sapp which was not invited to the emergency meeting.

After the two-and-a-half-hour-long meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre, Tengku Adnan read out the BN supreme council's decision to the media.

"All the BN component parties condemn Yong Teck Lee's (Sapp president) statement. His statement is unprincipled, unethical and is against BN's beliefs and spirit of unity.

"All the component parties also want Sapp supreme council to confirm or reject Yong's statement yesterday," said Tengku Adnan.- Malaysian Insider.

First there was Mukhriz who openly blamed Pat Lah for BN's performance in the last general election,then came Anifah Aman,and Ghapfur Salleh from Umno who turned down ministerial post, followed by Edmond Chong from PBS and Wilfred Bamburing from Upko and finally it was Yong Teck Lee who blasted Pat Lah for his poor leadership.Umno leader stressed that Sapp has been telling the truth to Pat Lah on these burning issues.

Pat Lah only gave them warning and that there will be no action against these rebels.They got away scot free. The reason why there was no expulsion because UMNO knows that Sabahan arent happy with BN and it will invite trouble in the next general elections. Read here,here.and here.

Basically the problem now is with Pat Lah. He not only made enemies within UMNO, but even among the BN coalition partner his leadership is being question.This is what Ku Li got to say,"The top leadership of BN and of Umno has lost all credibility, and our component parties are rethinking their relationship with us. This should come as no surprise except to those who have been living in complete denial,". Read here. Read here for Mahathir's comments.

BN should not blame Anwar and Pakatan members for the hullaballoo,but look and evaluate their position to see how BN with UMNO at helm really benefit them. For once,now, the UMNO/BN leadership is being challenged openly and that is bad for BN. However,the rakyat has the final say to whom they want.......

cheers.
