I first read the news about Tengku Rithauddeen's suggestion to abolish the Umno 'Wings' via JeffOoi.com while Malaysiakini reported it a few hours later:
Umno disciplinary committee chairperson Tengku Ahmad Rithauddeen Tengku Ismail made a startling suggestion today to prevent money politics in the party. If the party is serious in addressing this scourge, he said, Umno should restructure its organisation by abolishing the wings..."I was thinking whether there was a need for Puteri Umno and Putera, as this means more money politics. “Perhaps even having the Youth and Wanita wings should be weighed now. In England, there is no women's wing in the Conservative Party nor the Labour Party," he was quoted as saying by Bernama. Tengku Rithauddeen said Puteri and Putera members who were still young, should focus on their studies rather than on politics.
What a wise advice from Tengku Rithauddeen! But then again, it may be too lil too late. If money politics in Umno is spreading like terminal cancer, then Umno is like a terminal patient.
