"Don't be a spoilt child and do everything you want! Do not act according to your emotions.Be adult like and don't follow your father's comment and response to him "
That was the advice given by Datuk Mohd Johari Baharom to newly-elected Jerlun MP Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir for calling on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to step down.
Johari, who is also the Kubang Pasu Umno division chief, regretted Mukhriz's action which he described as inappropriate and disgraceful for UMNO nationally
He said Mukhriz, son of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, was also inconsistent in his opinions.
mainly due to his connections to Tun Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as his son and successor
"He first expressed his support for the prime minister to continue leading the government.
"But suddenly he forwarded a letter asking the prime minister to step down."
Johari added that although Mukhriz had not contributed much to development in Kubang Pasu district and had not attended any divisional meetings last year, Mukhriz was picked as a candidate as a gesture of goodwill to his father.
Johari also said the Kubang Pasu Umno division supported Abdullah to continue leading the country.
In Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Umno Youth called on Mukhriz to withdraw his "rude" letter.
Its head, Datuk Japlin Akim, said he failed to understand why the Umno Youth executive council member was blaming Abdullah for Barisan Nasional's poor performance in the general election.
"Mukhriz's statement does not reflect well on his position as a senior leader in the Youth movement," Japlin said, adding that he was puzzled as to why Mukhriz had changed his stand just days after declaring his support for Abdullah.
well no faul for me as he just want's justice for his old dad,Tun Mahathir and because his replacement PakLah has done a bad job indeed now.Very very bad if you ask me.look at the mess he made.
