00:00Veteran UMNO leader Tengku Razali Hamzah has blamed instability within political parties
00:05on leaders more obsessed with ambition than with serving the people.
00:09He said too many politicians aspire to be Prime Minister without
00:12offering meaningful ideas to improve the nation.
00:30He was commenting on recent infighting in Bersatu, which has seen Party President Muhyiddin Yassin
00:36facing calls to step down and open attacks on Secretary General Azmin Ali.
00:41Tengku Razali lamented that current politics has become driven by ego rather than unity,
00:46contrasting today's leaders with Malaysia's early statesmen.
00:49We were fortunate to have leaders like Tengku, Tuan Razak, Siu Sen, Tuan Dr. Ismail, Tuan Sembantan.
01:00who have been the right kind of people, making the right kind of approach.
01:09He praised the country's early leaders for their moderation and fairness,
01:13qualities he said are essential in Malaysia's multi-ethnic society.
01:17Tengku Razali also warned that parties who don't embrace balance, whether PAS, DAP or others,
01:22will fail to govern effectively in such a diverse nation.
