UMNO presidential candidate Tengku Razaleigh Tengku Hamzah wants the culture of money politics in the party elections to be eradicated to ensure delegates will be able to choose their leaders in an honest and sincere manner.

The Gua Musang Umno division chief said money politics should not happen when Umno was recovering from its rejection by the people in the 14th general election on May 9.

“We have to remember that money politics is very dangerous. Sometimes, it can bring losses because after the money is given out, there will be delegates who do not vote.

“Umno delegates should reject this disgusting culture and practice to produce clean and trustworthy leaders and to remain relevant at all times.”

He was speaking to reporters after officiating the Gua Musang Umno division’s Youth and Puteri representative meetings today.

Tengku Razaleigh said the delegates should take note that Umno’s defeat in GE14 was also due to money.

He also said that the proposed debate by Umno presidential candidates would not bring about a split among party members, as Annuar Musa said it might.

He said the proposed debate was aimed at getting the candidates’ views on particular issues that needed to be raised. – Bernama, June 23, 2018.

  • No money politic in umno - is like demanding umno members not to breath. Ku Li will not win on this mantra. Umno members will reject him. Most in umno is hanging on - hoping that it return to power and hence to rob and rape again

  • This may be true, if a lot of money was dished out for GE14. PH told voters to accept any such money but vote Pakatan instead..

  • If Ku Li is right on money politics, UMNO's president and youth chief will also be the richest.
