After being openly snubbed by MCA president Dr Ling Liong Sik who only recognised the authority of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in the MCA 'peace process', Umno's deputy president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi now keeps quiet over the Azalina Othman controversy, as noted

by a reader. What kind of leadership is Abdullah showing and providing to Umno and Barisan Nasional?

If Azalina is clean and clear, the aspiring Umno president and future PM should come out to defend her and condemn Perdana Sari , which has been publishing reports alleging improper sexual conduct and possible corruption! If she is not, Abdullah should discipline her. As the home minister, he should take the initiative to order the police to investigate into the allegations of Perdana Sari and its editor, Khalid Jafri.

Abdullah cannot keep on smiling and nothing to Ling, Azalina and Khalid Jafri. With due respect, I submit that his is the worst kind of leadership. What future has Malaysia?
