PM moots idea of direct membership
The Prime Minister has mooted setting up a “new group” in Barisan Nasional to enable supporters to enrol as direct members instead of having to join its component parties. Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said this multi-racial membership would not only make Barisan more inclusive but could be a good beginning for its reform.
My commentws: It is a good idea! For a start to start moving toward a multiracial party. Hopefully, they will set a time frame to dissolve all the rest of the component parties including Umno. Even if it takes 5 0r 10 years.
If not it will become a ploy! This is because the aim of becoming a multiracial party is not being pursued. What do you get at the end? You get all the rest of the racial based parties like Umno, MAC and MIC running with other component parties, how are the individuals who come in to BN compete in a party alone?
