(NST) - Umno supreme council member Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah claims he has the backing from Sabah to challenge Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for the party presidency in December.The Gua Musang MP said he has no problem accepting a Sabahan to contest the deputy and vice-president’s posts.“When I was in Sabah, I was asked if Sabahans were allowed to contest and I told them I was open to the matter.“I don’t think there are any differences between a Sabahan and a West Malaysian. They have the capability and in fact some of them are better than the people here,” he said. He was speaking to reporters after a meeting with Umno members, here, where he briefed them on the current issues and problems facing the party. Tengku Razaleigh denied claims that Sabah Umno members were not given a chance to contest for top posts.He said as Umno had its origins in the peninsula and had gone to Sabah not too long ago, most members in the peninsula were still not familiar with their Sabah Umno members.

Mungkin lebih baik UMNO sabah masuk pertandingan (Sebagai Tim president) daripada keluar UNMO! Just a thought. Saya ahli umno pun sedang berfikir sama ada untuk keluar umno atau menyumbang lebih aktif kepada umno.

Kalau UMNO membenarkan saya sebagai seorang ahli biasa mengundi terus untuk calon-calon Majlis tertinggi, ketua bahagian, presiden dll... mungkin saya akan terus menjadi ahli umno.

Kalau seperti biasa - iaitu tak dijemputpun dalam mensyuarat, tak terlibat untuk memilih pemimpin... seperti tahun-tahun lalu. Apa gunanya saya dna 3.5juta ahli unmo lain berada dalam parti? Just a thought.

Selagi Kerajaan BN dan UMNO terus menerus memperlekehkan dan memburuk2kan Tun Dr Mahathir, maka saya akan terus menerus membenci UMNO dan kepimpinannya terutamnya pada Pak Lah!!! Sampai PRU13, saya akan beri undi saya pada pembangkang pula! Tolong hormati Negarawan kami tu!!!!!!!!!
