Umno Elections Should Be Held More Regularly To Control Money Politics - Tajol Rosli

IPOH, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- The triennial Umno elections should be amended to annually for branch, biennially for division and triennially for the supreme council to control money politics.
Perak Umno chairman Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said by having more regular elections, candidates would have to depend on their ability and interaction with members at the grassroots level for support.
"This will help reduce claims of money politics. Not all are involved, only a few are doing it.
"The general election must also not get in the way of elections at branch, division and supreme council level," he told reporters at the Deepavali open house by Perak MIC chairman Datuk G. Rajoo here Monday.
Umno vice president Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam had also made a similar proposal aimed at reactivating members at the grassroots.
Tajol Rosli dismissed talks that the sudden increase in Perak nominations for deputy president candidate Mohd Ali was because delegates were disappointed that Pagoh did not nominate Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for vice president.
He said the nominations came from members at the grassroots and was prove of the democratic process.
Pagoh which is headed by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had nominated Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, Datuk Seri Rais Yatim and Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal for vice-presidents.
Mohd Ali who last week received only one Perak nomination, Parit Buntar, had since received seven more nominations.
They were from Bukit Gantang, Ipoh Barat, Batu Gajah, Tapah, Kuala Kangsar, Parit and Gopeng.

tunku : if umno elections held more regularly then everyone will be busy with politicking and lobbying all the time and work less. the best time for umno election should be after the GE.we want them to have enough time to carry out their promises and responsibilities. two years is very short time to carry out any reform,vision,mission etc.

Yang penting sama2 elakkan politik wang ni. Masing2 patut sedar, kalau setakat ada cara yang berbagai, tapi yang ambil, ambil jugak, yang bagi, bagi jugak takda makna pun.

Saya bersetuju dengan apa pendapat felicidad. Politik wang hanya akan hilang sekiranya ahli-ahli sedar dan tidak mahu menerima suapan tersebut. Maka gejala ini memang dapat dibendung, tapi kalau sekadar nak buat pilihan raya lebih kerap, alamatnya buang masa dan duit.
Kesedaran dan rasa tanggungjawab tu yang penting. Lagipun yang menjadi ahli UMNO semua nya dah besar, orang yang tahu berfikir menggunakan akal, tak kan takde kesedaran lansung??

it's true like what Tunku Said.frequent UMNO election only lead to more politicking rather than working for the masses.

besides it's not politicians in UMNO that should try to curb money politics only.all of us should do our part and kick away this bad habit for good.

it takes two to tango.

buat cara macammanapun politik wang ni puncanya dari diri sendiri.kalau dah tamak duit dan kedudukan,memang berleluasalah aktiviti politik wang ni.cuba kalau semmua peringkat UMNO,dari bawah hingga atas,menolak aktivti tak sihat ini dan pilih pemimpin berdasarkan kredibiliti mereka.tentu tiada masalahkan?.
