Remembering the values of Onn Ja'afar

Last Sunday, 19th January marked the 58th anniversary of the passing of my grandfather, and also Umno’s founder - Allahyarham Onn Ja’afar. If you follow and read my social media postings, I wrote a short piece on Allahyarham on my Facebook. The traction received was overwhelming and undeniable. That’s why today I’d like to share a little more about Onn Ja’afar’s values, and take the opportunity to comment further on Barisan Nasional’s victory in Kimanis as well as some views about the nation.

Barisan Nasional’s victory in the Kimanis by-election last week means a lot to me personally as it brings with it a set of values which I have held consistently since before. Not only because it is the fifth consecutive by-election win after Cameron Highlands, Semenyih, Rantau and Tanjung Piai – but mainly because throughout the campaign, I personally felt the strong and undeniable sense of unity amongst Barisan Nasional’s machinery.
