I am glad that Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad has come out openly to condemn Perdana Sari for its allegations against Azalina Othman. Whether the allegations are true or not, Mahathir has shown the leadership quality which is lacking in his deputy, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

I hope other top Umno leaders will also publicly condemn Perdana Sari .Otherwise, rumours will suggest that it was this or that Umno leader behind the episode.

Umno should also consider calling on its leaders, members and supporters to boycott Perdana Sari . Suspending or banning it is not a viable option. It will be counterproductive because the people will think that the allegations are true and Umno is afraid.

However, let us be fair to Perdana Sari and Khalid Jafri also. It is time they produce the evidences to substantiate their claims.

Lodge police reports if you have any witnesses or documentary evidences.

Otherwise, Umno and Azalina should lodge police reports against Perdana Sari and Khalid Jafri.

There can be only one side which is right.
