Another bad choice


Tengku Adnan is the new Umno sec-gen

Former Tourism Minister Tengku Adnan Mansor will replace Radzi Sheikh Ahmad as the Umno secretary general, said a local daily today.
Tengku Adnan, dropped by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from the cabinet yesterday, told New Straits Times that he was informed by Abdullah yesterday about his new role in the party.
“I am grateful for the appointment. I was informed by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Tuesday morning before he announced the new cabinet,” the daily quoted Tengku Adnan as saying.
The Putrajaya member of Parliament also said that he met Radzi this morning before the latter announced his resignation.
“We briefly discussed the secretary-general’s work and agreed that preparations for the next general election have to begin, even now.
“Umno is still relevant, we did not lose in the recent election, we are only eight seats short of a two-thirds majority. We will find out the needs of the people and what they want, so I have called for an internal post-mortem of the party, in addition to the independent post-mortem,” said Tengku Adnan.
The daily also reported that Tengku Adnan went to the Umno headquarters to organise a few things, including giving instructions for the internal post-mortem.
“So far we know that of the over 10 million registered voters, BN got 4.9 million votes. So we are still getting the majority of votes.”

tunku : the problem with Umno right now is, they keep taking the old horses, first Mat Taib as a minister and now Tengku Adnan as the Sec-Gen of Umno.Don't keep saying about the 8 seats short, you might lose the majority if you don't change.
