KOTA KINABALU: The proposal
by Sabah Umno Kota Kinabalu Chief, Datuk Faisyal Diego for Barisan Nasional
(BN) to set up a Disciplinary Bureau will be discussed by the state Liaison
committee.
“We will discuss and study
and if there is a need, we will set it up,” Sabah BN Liaison chairman Datuk
Seri Musa Aman said.
Musa who was met after
officiating the division’s annual delegates’ meeting here yesterday said this
when asked to comment on Faisyal’s proposal which he made during his speech at
the meeting yesterday and also at the division’s Puteri Movement on Saturday.
Faisyal when making the
proposal said that for the sake of its future, BN needs to set up a
Disciplinary Bureau to deter any ‘sabotaging’ of the Coalition’s candidates by
its members.
“I urge the BN leadership to
consider this proposal and set up a Disciplinary Bureau so that there will be
no instances of sabotage in the future. This is because in Umno, when a member
goes against a BN candidate, that individual will be sacked from the party.
“So BN should have a
disciplinary bereau to prevent its members from sabotaging the coalition’s
candidates. Anyone who does that is a traitor… they must face disciplinary
action and be sacked,” Faisyal said.
Meanwhile Gerakan state
Liaison chairman Datuk Gordon Leong when asked to comment on the proposal said
that he believed every component party has within its set up, a Disciplinary
Bureau.
Nevertheless, Faisyal’s
proposal to have a BN Disciplinary Bureau is a good idea which the BN component
parties should consider with an open mind, Leong opinied.
Even though Faisyal proposed
that the Bureau be set up in relation to the up-coming general election in
order to curb political sabotage in the spirit of the BN coalition and to
ensure the existence of solid working relation in facing the impending GE13 as
well as to mitigate any acts of sabotage by unhappy leaders.
Gerakan Sabah suggests to
take a step further that the BN Disciplinary Bureau, if formed, should consist
of at least one member from each BN component party and be permanent in nature,
not to be limited and activated only when facing General Election, but also to
address other types of misconduct such as irresponsible and insensitive act of
open outbursts of certain leaders who undermine and discredit other BN
components, he stressed.
Further, Leong said, the BN
Disciplinary Bureau could be the channel for the grievances or complaints of
every BN component to be heard so that proper disciplinary action could then be
taken against those who are found to have misconducted themselves, instead of
the BN Component members voicing out their grievances or dissatisfaction or
loose remarks publicly and indiscriminately thereby causing damage to BN and
attracting negative perception by the general public.
“In this respect, I strongly
support the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Chief Minister Datuk
Seri Musa Aman’s constant call and reminder for all component BN parties to
exercise discretion and don’t talk too much but keep working hard and continue
to serve the public in order to maintain the public’s confidence in the BN
government.
“Be that as it may, it is my
sincere hope that such BN Disciplinary Bureau would not be too overburdened
with the unfortunate task of hearing too many complaints or grievances
especially during the post general election,” he said. (theborneopost)
