Selected Quotes


"Seseorang pemimpin mestilah jujur. Kejujuran yang saya maksudkan, bukan sahaja dari segi sokongan yang diberikan kepada perjuangan parti, tetapi juga dalam pemikiran, pertimbangan dan tindakan."
- Mesyuarat Perwakilan UMNO, 1981

"Tanpa kejujuran yang tulin, seseorang pemimpin akan menggunakan jawatannya sebagai bahan dagangan untuk mencapai kedudukan, mencari pengaruh, nama dan membolot kekayaan. Ia akan menjadikan parti dan perjuangan sebagai topeng untuk memuaskan hawa nafsu. Ia akan mengambil kesempatan daripada sesuatu suasana atau krisis untuk menangguk di air keroh."
- Mesyuarat Perwakilan UMNO, 1981

"UMNO telah ditubuhkan untuk memperjuang dan melindungi kepentingan masyarakat Melayu.Perjuangan ini adalah diasaskan kepada konteks sejarah dan kemunduran sosio-ekonomi orang-orang Melayu, di dalam masyarakat berbilang kaum di negara ini, kita haruslah meneruskan perjuangan kita, dengan penuh semangat kegigihan dan tanggungjawab."
- Mesyuarat Perwakilan UMNO, 1981

"Kemerdekaan tanahair kita telah bersama-sama dicapai oleh UMNO, MCA dan MIC. Pembangunan dan kemajuan negara kita telah bersama-sama diusahakan oleh UMNO, MCA dan MIC, dan kebelakangan ini, bersama-sama dengan parti-parti lain dalam Barisan Nasional."

"My country wishes to be friendly with all countries, big and small, whatever may be their political or social systems. We believe in and have put into effect the policy of peaceful co-existence and mutual respect. We are not aligned to any power blocks and adhere strictly to our policy of equidistance."
- Moscow, 1979

"Development and modernization cannot be brought about without both social and political adaptation. The social system with its sets of norms, values and institutions governing the interaction of people with a society, tends to change very slowly. It is the political aspect of development which often triggers a faster rate of change."
- Gerakan General Meeting , 1980

"Power is given to us not to lord it over others, not to improve our standing nor to enrich ourselves. Power must be used for the good and well-being of the people at all times. Power must always be used for the benefit of the people."

"The economy, national unity, and security are inordinately linked with each other. We cannot achieve a more progressive rate of economic growth if our political stability is not strong. If both of them are unstable, then undoubtedly our unity will be taxed, and this will threaten the security of our country."
