Muhyiddin Must Have Trust And Confidence In Prime Minister's Leadership Bernama Oct 26, 2015 KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- UMNO deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin must have trust and confidence in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's leadership as each leader had his own style of leadership, said a party Supreme Council member. Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman said the former deputy prime minister should also not dig up previous events about his support for Najib. "Those of us who are at the bottom, regardless of whether we hold a post, an ordinary party member or supporter, should adapt ourselves to the leader. We are the followers, the leader cannot be following the followers. "As members (of UMNO), we must have confidence and trust in our leaders. If we can't do that, then we should withdraw so that there are no problems between us and the leader," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby, here, Monday. Tajuddin, who is also Pasir Salak UMNO division chief, was commenting on the claims made by Muhyiddin in Johor Baharu on Saturday that he was the choice of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be prime minister, but he preferred to remain loyal to Najib and became only the deputy. He said if he was dissatisfied, Muhyiddin should discuss within the party, and not do so publicly. Asked if UMNO should take action against Muhyiddin, Tajuddin said action could be taken in the form of reminders and advice to reflect the party's respect for him. "I humbly request him is to discuss the differences within the party, otherwise, it would not help the party but only benefit the enemy. Meanwhile, Gua Musang Member of Parliament Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said only the party's disciplinary committee could decide if Muhyiddin's open criticism (of Najib's leadership) violated the party's ethics. -- BERNAMA Copyright © 2015 BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v8/newsindex.php?id=1183596 .
