* Some people look at Umno today and say that there was a generation of
leadership, including yourself, Anwar, Musa, who were very strong leaders.
They look now at Abdullah and Najib, and they look (at those) after Najib,
and they see people who are playing it safe. It looks like the country will
have a tough time in the next 20 years. What do we have to do to move beyond
this?

It’s our choice. This is a democratic country. At least there is that much
to admit. If people want to vote, they can vote for the best candidate. But
if they vote (thinking that) ‘This is my party, I don’t care who they put
there, even if it’s a piece of log, I’m going to vote for the party because
this is my party, and the other candidate is from another party’, then of
course, you are supporting things which you shouldn’t be supporting.
