Where are you running to?

After a terrible performance in the general election, Pak Lah the president of Umno and BN, didn't bother to call for a post-mortem.

Now, there's a proposal for the Umno AGM which is scheduled to be held this August, to be postponed to next year. He's obviously avoiding something.

Why can't Pak Lah end all these dramas now and forever? And now, another deputy minister resigned from cabinet. This is really a shitty situation. Already, two other MPs declined appointment as deputy ministers when the cabinet lined-up was announced. It's like these people are disappointed with Pak Lah and don't want to be associated with him anymore.

Pak Lah should have made the effort to call for an EGM or post-mortem to find out what went wrong during the 12th general election and not wait for someone like Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to make that suggestion.

Even Ong Ka Ting publicly asked not to be reappointed as a minister because he wants to concentrate on party matters. And G. Palanivel also realised how the BN machinery has undermined the people's wish.

I think, Pak Lah should have the decency to at least stick to the AGM date in August and not postpone it. And he should allow for the posts of President and Deputy President to be contested. In other words, he should step down. Let the party members decide for themselves. After all, already a lot of members who are not happy with the current leadership.

Pak Lah is not effective. He must do something smart now. Urgently. We cannot have a PM which keeps on making mistakes.
