Umno Needs Psychological Warfare Team To Ward Off Opposition Allegations

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- The Barisan Nasional (BN), especially Umno, needs to form a psychological warfare team to deal with opposition allegations against the coalition or Umno.
Home Minister and Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said besides this, the party's strategies, integrity and credibility also needed to be enhanced to draw public attention.
"Our problem is that we have allowed negative public perceptions about us to persist. When negative perceptions have taken root, it is difficult for us to get out of the situation," he said at a press conference at Angkasapuri, here, today.
Syed Hamid said having a psychological warfare team could make the party more mature and ward off negative public perceptions about it.
"When something happens or an issue arises, there must be quick action to remove or diffuse wrong perceptions against us.
"We are weak in information dissemination and propaganda, while the opposition is strong in mounting a propaganda," he said.

tunku : now only they realized that they need to form a psychological warfare team to deal with opposition allegations against the coalition or Umno.anyway better late than never. the opposition has spread lies against umno and bn and they succeeded to make the public believe them.if you look back there's nothing great about the oppositions, they were zero then, they are zero now. it was within bn that wanted reforms and changes to be carried out and because of some deaf and arrogant leaders, bn suffers during the elections.
they should form the warfare team asap at every level of the society and in every channels.hope they will get the best team to counter all the lies/allegations and expose the evilness some of the opposition's leaders which only care about themselves and not the country.
