JELI, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said the time had not arrived to hold an open debate as a way to elect party leaders.He said that at the present situation, the party needed to think various aspects including the risk when holding an open debate as suggested by several Umno leaders.
"Speaking up is already there but to me, Ummo has not fully matured. We have not reached that stage yet. If we want to hold debates, we must be ready to face the risk."
Mustapa who retained the post of Jeli Umno head uncontested told reporters this after opening the division's delegates conference at Bukit Bunga Umno Complex here Monday.
He said that if an open debate was to be held, his concern was that the grassroots members would only elect good orators rather than really credible candidates who can work for the party.
"It's important for us to make the correct choice, not because he is a good orator. If debates were held, our concern is members, charmed by his eloquence, will elect the candidate even though he cannot do work," said the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister.
tunku : that is right, a good orator does not mean a good leader. a good orator can be con man like anwar and many others.look at mustapa mohamed, he is not a good orator but he is a good and a very hard working leader.

good one... pandai cakap belum tentu pandai kerja... pandai temberang nak buat apa...
ada baik/buruk:
yg baik, jika ada debat dapat menilai sejauh mana kemampuan calon2 berfikir secara kritis ... macam proses interview mintak kerja la ...
buruknya ... masyarakat Malaysia secara am lebih tertarik pada rhetorik dan gaya berbanding isi ...
tapi kalau tak mula sekarang bila lagi ...
Lets suggest Khairy this crucial and favorite topic of UMNO today... MONEY POLITICS.
Do you think Khairy would even consider?
yes,Khairy seems to be a better debater than Mukhriz and Khairy also seems to be more proactive and perform than Mukhriz.
but too just debating alone on the competition towards a certain position/seat is not enough.people need to know more about their planning and how the planning can be beneficial for the commom people.
debating is an option voiced out by Khairy.i'm sure there are other ways to show who deserves the seat more.
Sebenarnya bagus juga berdebat ni. Kalau tahu nak buat kerja, dan dah plan apa yang nak dibuat, rasanya tidak ada masalah berdebat. Tapi kalau takda apa2 tu, mengharapkan penyokong banyak je, mungkin keberatan sikit la kot nak berdebat. Nak cakap apa pun tak tahu.
