COMMENT | Who are the warlords?
A
-
COMMENT | Many political writers are actively writing nowadays, probably the lockdown spurs them to do so.
One of them is my friend Rosli Azad Khan. He recently wrote a piece in an online news portal that Umno must rid itself of warlords if they are to be accepted by the people. Cut the gangrene, he thundered.
A week before that Daim Zainuddin, who himself a warlord of immense power, said the same thing. Who are actually the warlords? It will be helpful if we know the name of Umno leaders who should be deposed. Are they referring to those facing criminal charges like Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and Najib Abdul Razak?
