Menteri UMNO menyerlah daripada PKR, DAP

VETERAN UMNO, Shahrir Samad menyifatkan menteri parti itu menunjukkan pencapaian lebih baik daripada menteri daripada PKR dan DAP.
Shahrir, yang pernah menjawat beberapa portfolio dalam kerajaan, berkata tidak boleh dinafikan pencapaian mereka di dalam kerajaan pimpinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Utusan melaporkan.

“Ini kerana pemimpin UMNO sudah dilatih di peringkat akar umbi,” katanya dalam satu wawancara dengan akhbar.

Ini berbanding pemimpin daripada PKR dan DAP, katanya.

Beliau memberi contoh DAP yang walaupun sudah lama dalam politik, mereka masih kurang pengalaman mentadbir urus negara.

“Misalnya, bekas pengerusi DAP Lim Guan Eng jarang menunjukkan kematangannya dalam memimpin parti itu dan kurang menyengat sebagai menteri kewangan dan ketua menteri Pulau Pinang.

“PKR pula tak pernah ada pengalaman mentadbir negara. Sebab itulah bila dilantik ke dalam kabinet, mereka sedikit mengelabah,” katanya.

Shahrir turut menyindir menteri PKR yang kononnya mahu meletak jawatan tetapi mengambil cuti terlebih dahulu, seolah-olah ia notis tiga bulan yang diamalkan sektor korporat.

“Kalau nak letak jawatan, letaklah jawatan, tak perlu ambil cuti,” katanya, sambil menambah ia menyulitkan rancangan perdana menteri untuk mencari pengganti atau merombak kabinet.

 

Umno ministers outperforming PKR, DAP

AN UMNO veteran claims that ministers from his party are doing better than their fellow Cabinet members from DAP and PKR.

Shahrir Samad, who had held several Cabinet posts, said it cannot be denied that Umno leaders serving as ministers in the Anwar Ibrahim-led unity government are performing better and more effectively compared with those from DAP and PKR, Utusan Malaysia reported.

“This is because Umno leaders are trained and shaped through a grassroots leadership development process, rising through the ranks over time,” he was quoted as saying in an interview with the daily.

In contrast, he said, many leaders from PKR and DAP lack such experience.

He cited how DAP leaders may have been in politics for a longer period and were expected to be more seasoned, but still fell short.

Giving Lim Guan Eng as an example, Shahrir said the former DAP chairman did not always “reflect maturity or wisdom in leadership” both as finance minister and Penang chief minister.

“PKR leaders, in particular, have no real governing experience. So, when they are appointed ministers, the country ends up in disarray,” he said.

“We even have situations where (their) ministers want to resign but first take leave, as if a political post was a corporate job that requires a three-month notice period. This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of political office.

“If you intend to resign, just resign. There’s no need to take leave,” he said, claiming that the prime minister’s decision to find a replacement or reshuffle the Cabinet was stalled because of such ministers taking leave.”
