Shahrir on Umno, the shambolic PN, and what must happen after

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – For decades a formidable presence in Malaysian politics even when in the margins, Tan Sri Shahrir Abdul Samad has been variously described as “imaginative”, “stubborn” and “outspoken”.

He held the Federal Territories and social welfare portfolios in the first Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad administration, and the domestic trade and consumer affairs portfolio in the Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi administration.

And now, he has been lacerating in his criticism of the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin-Perikatan Nasional administration.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Vibes, Shahrir details his criticism, speaks of Umno’s “search” for itself in the past three years, and the institutional reforms the nation desperately needs which, he asserts, can emanate from Umno.
