The Biggest Reform is that of UMNO

In the wake of BN's greatest defeat, Pak Lah could leave Malaysians with the greatest legacy of all. The legacy of freedom. The legacy of true democracy. A legacy comparable to independence. The reform of the judiciary, the reform of the ACA offers new hope for Malaysians. 

Civil society demand these changes. But how will UMNO cope?. These reforms require  change from each and everyone of UMNO's members. For the first time in our history, UMNO is thrown into the deep end. And as everyone knows, once you are there, it's either sink or swim. 

One interesting question that someone posed to me as I did my GE post mortem, is "What is the objective of UMNO's struggle now?". Well, it remains the struggle for the survival of Malays, but the landscape has changed considerably. UMNO's greatest struggle now is finding itself in this new landscape. 

We have to perform better than ever before. We have to meet the lofty expectations set by the rakyat. We have to make our forefathers proud. We have to continue the legacy of excellence that UMNO is accustomed to. 

The times, it is a - changing. Let's swim together.
