Are some UMNO leaders super-quick in repudiating Najib Razak but for the wrong reasons?


(Versi BM)

The suggestion by the Johore state assembly speaker Puad Zarkasi that UMNO and BN cannot have a poster boy who is over perasan (self-engrossed) and lembik (weak) raises the question whether some UMNO leaders are super-quick in repudiating Najib Razk but for the wrong reasons.

Puad said on his Facebook that having a “poster boy” could backfire and suggested for Umno and BN to capitalise on the time-tested BN logo instead.

Najib, former Prime Minister and UMNO President, who started serving his 12-year jail sentence yesterday, was the UMNO and BN poster boy in the Johore state general election early this year.

Is Puad regretting that Najib was the UMNO and BN poster boy in the recent Johore state general election as Najib has become a “liability” to the extent that Puad used the Malay saying, Harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi?

Or is Puad targeting the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri, and not Najib Razak.

If so, Puad should clarify and explain how Ismail Sabri is guilty of Harapkan pegar, pegar makan padi?

Adakah sesetengah pemimpin UMNO sebegitu pantas kini menolak Najib namun atas sebab yang salah?

Cadangan dari Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri Johor, Puad Zarkashi, bahawa UMNO dan BN tidak boleh mempunyai poster boy yang “over perasan dan lembik” menimbulkan persoalan sama ada sesetengah pemimpin UMNO kini sebegitu pantas menolak Najib Razak, tetapi atas sebab yang salah.

Puad mengatakan di laman Facebook dia yang mempunyai “poster boy” boleh menjadi senjata yang makan tuan dan mencadangkan supaya UMNO dan BN untuk menggunakan logo BN yang telah diuji zaman.

Najib, bekas Perdana Menteri dan Presiden UMNO, mula menjalani hukuman penjara 12 tahunnya semalam, adalah poster boy UMNO dan BN dalam pilihan raya umum negeri Johor awal tahun ini.

Adakah Puad menyesali Najib menjadi poster boy UMNO dan BN dalam pilihan raya umum negeri Johor sebelum ini memandangkan Najib telah menjadi “liabiliti” sehingga Puad menggunakan pepatah Melayu, Harapkan pegar, pegar makan padi?

Atau adakah Puad sebenarnya menyasarkan Perdana Menteri, Ismail Sabri, dan bukannya Najib Razak?

Sekiranya begitu, Puad patut menjelaskan bagaimana Ismail Sabri ini merupakan “pegar yang makan padi”?
