Supreme Council Member Says UMNO Flag is Bad Feng Shui

Adnan: Remove keris symbol from Umno flag

SUNGAI SIPUT: The keris symbol on Umno flags should be removed because it is a weapon denoting quarrels, said supreme council member Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob.

Adnan, who is also Pahang Mentri Besar, said he believed the keris symbol could have been the cause of the numerous quarrels in the party

“There were 20 major quarrels in Umno since its formation 60 years ago,” he said after opening the Sungai Siput Umno division meeting yesterday.

He noted that some of them involved the late Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah while there is an ongoing spat between former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

“The symbol may signify the party’s struggles but it also means quarrels,” he said, adding that there would be no peace in Umno.

When asked to suggest a symbol to replace the keris, Adnan said: “I suggest a pen or a coin.”

The pen, he said, was a symbol of knowledge while the coin symbolised a prosperous economy.

“In Umno, we need to use a lot of money and there is money politics in Umno,” he said.

On the quarrel between Dr Mahathir and Abdullah, he said members should not be unduly worried as there would always be quarrels in Umno.

MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, who attended the opening, said more than 60% of the RM2mil allocation to him as Sungai Siput MP had been used to fund development for Malays in his constituency.

I find it interesting that he hinted that they need more money for money politics (or at least that's how I intepret his statement)
