18. Mereka yang ingin menyertai UMNO perlu faham sejarah dan matlamat perjuangan UMNO. Jika mereka dapati perjuangan ini bertentangan dengan prinsip perjuangan diri sendiri, adalah lebih baik jika mereka berada di luar UMNO.

19. Walaupun demikian ini tidak bermakna UMNO beku dan jumud, bahawa perjuangannya sudah ketinggalan zaman, tidak relevan lagi.

20. Asas perjuangan untuk memberi tempat kepada orang Melayu di negara yang mereka bersetuju berkongsi dengan bangsa-bangsa lain tidak perlu diubah. Asas perjuangan UMNO untuk menebus maruah orang Melayu tidak perlu diubah. Asas perjuangan untuk orang Melayu berdiri sama tinggi dan duduk sama rendah dengan bangsa-bangsa lain tidak perlu diubah.

21. Yang perlu diubah ialah pendekatan yang mampu mencapai matlamat dengan lebih awal dan lebih kukuh.

1. Saya bersyukur kerana kesedaran yang ditunjuk oleh orang Melayu terhadap nasib mereka. Terdapat tanda-tanda yang Melayu UMNO sudah sedar akan perlunya UMNO di perbaharui. UMNO sudah nyatakan kesanggupan untuk menerima ahli baru walaupun ini akan mengancam kedudukan ahli lama. Tanpa ahli baru, terutama yang lebih muda UMNO akan susut jumlah keahlian kerana yang tua tetap menjadi lemah dan akhirnya kembali ke Rahmatullah.

2. Tetapi bukan sahaja yang muda yang diperlukan, yang berbakat, berkebolehan juga diperlukan walaupun tidak lagi muda.

3. Namun tapisan perlu juga dibuat supaya yang masuk bukan yang anggap UMNO sebagai batu loncatan seperti yang terdahulu, atau yang nampak peluang bagi diri sendiri. Yang masuk mestilah mereka yang ikhlas dan faham akan perjuangan UMNO, dan ingin menerus dan menjayakannya.

4. Apa dianya perjuangan UMNO? Setelah 400 tahun dijajah hanya apabila berhadapan dengan cadangan penjajah untuk negeri-negeri Melayu semuanya dicantum menjadi tanah jajahan British secara langsung melalui projek Malayan Union, maka baharulah timbul kesedaran di kalangan rakyat Raja-Raja Melayu bahawa tanpa sokongan mereka maka Raja-Raja akan dipaksa menyerah negeri-negeri kerdil mereka kepada British. Jika enggan ada ramai ahli keluarga diRaja yang sanggup menandatangani perjanjian dan dilantik jadi Raja yang diiktiraf British.

5. Ini sudah pun berlaku dengan penyerahan Singapura kepada British. Dan sesungguhnya inilah cara ugutan Mac Michael kepada Raja-Raja Melayu.

I would like to convey my condolences to all families of passengers and crew on board Air Asia Indonesia flight QZ8501

1. The economy of the world is in a state of turmoil. Not only has the oil price tumbled from USD 110/- to less than USD 60/-, but palm oil price, rubber price, share prices and the exchange rate of the Ringgit have all taken a beating, a severe beating.

2. All these things involve us, Malaysian, our commodities and our money. But we are assured and reassured that we would not be affected. We will continue to grow at the projected rate.

3. Are we!!

1. I was watching Al-Jazeera news as I often do.

2. The report was on President Putin speaking to the Russian Parliament.

3. He was saying that America and the West were trying to dismantle Russia as they did to Yugoslavia. He warned the Russian people to be prepared.

1. Spain has decided to recognise Palestine. And now France and Ireland have also done likewise. There is even a suggestion that the European Union would do the same.

2. It is all long overdue. If the Europeans care to think, it is they who started the terrorism in the Middle East. If they care to admit, all these violence, killings, wars etc started when the Europeans created the state of Israel by seizing Arab Palestine. Before that terrorism did not plague the Middle East and the rest of the world. Now there are irregular terrorists and state terrorists.

3. To the Europeans Israel can do no wrong. They can massacre the Arabs. That is acceptable. For three Israelis killed a thousand Arabs must pay with their lives. A hundred thousand will have their houses destroyed. And humanitarian aid cannot be given to the victims. The Europeans by saying or doing nothing virtually agreed that the punishment is right.

1. I am very annoyed by the apparent exclusion of Malaysia from the investigation of MH 17.

2. The aircraft belongs to Malaysia and the pilots, staff and quite a number of the passengers were Malaysians. Yet it seems that Malaysia is only grudgingly permitted to participate in the examination of the wreck recovered. And it is not even brought back to Malaysia.

3. Granted the highest number of the passengers who lost their lives were Dutch. But under what law is the aircraft the property of the Dutch?

1.​The United States assumes that it is the greatest democracy in the world and is in a position to tell others what is right and what is wrong and what they should do and what they should not do. On this assumption Joe Biden, Vice President of the United States chastised Malaysia for retaining the Sedition Act and the trial of Anwar Ibrahim.

2.​Who is Joe Biden to take the moral high ground?

1. The price of one barrel of crude fell from US$110-00 per barrel to US$70-00.

2. Is it true it will have no effect on us (Malaysia) or that it will be good for us?

3. When the Government budget for 2015 was launched, it was premised on the price of oil being US$110-00 per barrel.

4. Obviously the Government expected its oil revenue to contribute to the budget based on this high oil price. Is it possible that the effect of the low oil price on the Government’s budget will remain the same, or will improve now that oil has gone down to US$70-00?
