Meritocracy is Meritocracy is Meritocracy

::At the opening of this year's UMNO Wanita, Youth and Puteri delegate meeting, the incoming deputy UMNO President had plenty to say about meritocracy in his 56-page speech. He advised the delegates to choose UMNO leaders based on their merit and understanding of the values in the struggles of UMNO and the Malays. He said ::

"Choose leaders who have proven their integrity. Choose those who have excellent capability to lead."
"What is most important is to choose leaders who truly understand the values of the Umno struggles and that of the race."

Despite all these words of wisdom from the incoming deputy President, the 2500 odd delegates have been given no chance to determine the two most important leaders of UMNO through the democratic process.
The incoming 2nd most important UMNO leader also touched on measures to strengthen the Malay economy, absorption of noble values, mastery of other people's languages, education, the importance of being good followers, adopting or accepting meritocracy as a culture and as a measure their achievements and capability in all fields and building a community based on the concept of Islam Hadhari. All these sound pretty good in his speech.
But the incoming deputy UMNO president seems to have his own version of meritocracy for he is quoted in the NST in the following manner ::

"Meritocracy will enable the Malays to persevere." However, he said, UMNO would not allow others to determine the form of meritocracy that should be implemented in the country.

So it looks like Najib and/or UMNO will have its own version of meritocracy.

MALAYSIA, a great place to be in, BUT we can, will and must make HER better.

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
