Repeating the mistakes that led to the thrashing we received at the Elections, our leaders have remained complacent and live in denial.
Today's developments around SAPP in Sabah point to the depth of the leadership crisis facing the country.
The top leadership of BN and of Umno has lost all credibility, and our component parties are rethinking their relationship with us.
This should come as no surprise except to those who have been living in complete denial.
In its management of the economy this leadership has lacked vision and shown a disturbing inability to plan and execute.
The haphazard and wavering way in which petrol subsidies were recently removed damaged the government's credibility in managing the economy at a time when we face very serious economic challenges and our people are hurting.
Politically, instead of listening, the leadership silences voices from the ground calling for change and suppresses democratic processes set out by the party constitution.
Instead of change we have been getting media and political manipulation.
I warned openly of SAPP's impending action a week ago, but until yesterday night the leadership dismissed my warning out of hand and the Prime Minister said he knew nothing.
I want what is best for Umno, and I have put myself on the line to reform Umno.
If our leaders refuse to face reality, I fear the worst for the party and this government.
