An Umno Youth revolt against party president Najib Abdul Razak is in full swing.
Hours after Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin rallied the party to him and called for immediate reforms, one of his exco members - Arman Azha Abu Hanifah - openly called for Najib to resign.
"Representing the Umno Youth Kesatria Briged, I wish to call on Najib to let go of the president's post willingly, so a transformation of Umno can take place.
"We demand Najib immediately resigns... We believe Najib has to be responsible for BN's defeat in the 14th general election.
"We don't hate Najib, but we prioritise the party's interests to ensure its survival," Arman said in a statement today.
The Federal Territories and Selangor Umno Youth wings have also joined calls from their Kedah and Terengganu counterparts in calling for Najib to quit.
Federal Territories Umno Youth chief Razlan Rafii (photo) said the party's top leadership must take responsibility for its defeat in the 14th general election.
"The party's top leadership must take full responsibility for this disaster and be prepared to step down and make way for new faces to lead this party," he said in a statement today.
When contacted, Razlan clarified that the top leadership meant "the president and other top leaders".
Meanwhile, Berita Harian reported that Jelebu Umno division chief Jalaluddin Alias also called for the resignations of Najib and Negeri Sembilan Umno chief Mohamad Hasan.
Khairy had called for immediate reforms to Umno to save the party from collapse.
"I call on my comrades who wish to rebuild Umno, from the collapse we have seen today, to stand with me as change must begin immediately. We cannot delay any further.
"Umno's contribution to religion, race and country is too great for us to allow this sacred party to be destroyed and disappear forever," Khairy said in a posting on Facebook.
Umno-BN was trounced in Wednesday's 14th general election, with Pakatan Harapan forming the new federal government.

Yes, I agree that we need a quality opposition pack for check & balance.
At the moment, it would be hard for BN to make a comeback in near term. The 1MDB issue will be fresh in our mind until - Malaysia mudah lupa syndrome kicks in.
For revival of BN, please remove all the rotten apples in your coalition ( UMNO, MCA, MIC, etc ).
If you keep the racist one - one word on Cina Babi, you killed Make Chinese Angry & Gelakan instantly. In short, you are killing your ownselves when your coalition component cannot perform.
You must not keep the unclean one (Cow Gate Scandal) without any action taken,remove her from party post. How you want your coalition to win the heart of people when the rotten one still standing ?. It just show how arrogant the BN was, when in wrong still can hold post without action taken. The component parties, please speak out when necessary, not remained silent on any wrongdoing.
Start learning how to listen & learn to accept the unpleasant words because the unpleasant words are truthful for BN to become better. If you listen to the pleasant words of the bodek kaki, you will never learn & admit your mistakes to improve.
The parasites / bodek kakis who contribute nothing are the worst of its kind that need to be flushed out. See how your opponents (PH) are attracting the young talents, whereas the BN are attracting the average & bodek kakis. The quality matters not quantities. BN need to groom more talents not cull the talents & see it as the threat internally. When you go to war, you need the capable general ranks in the front line, not the cry babies or bodek kakis. The BN culture of suppressing the talent & culling the young talent to protect their own personal interest have leaded BN to current state. Groom more capable generals before GE15.
Those with the underworld links need to be removed from the party membership. These underworld ppl which have infiltrated political parties to protect their own interest.
I hope they day will come when BN is a multiracial party instead of UMNO, MCA, Gerakan & etc. If you can make this break through, you might get new stream of support against PH in future.
Wish you make your comeback on stronger cleaner & stronger footing in the future.

The main problem in BN as opposition now is UMNO. UMNO need a sweeping clean up of its leaderships but the problem now is after clean up, who is going to replace them? This is happening bcoz all the old timers been hogging on positions for long long time and it made it impossible for young ppl to move up or go in. So i don't think BN can be an effective opposition for a very long time

there are still good people within BN, just that the rotten ones overwhelm the good ones.
want to bet or not, in near future, these bad ones will start to join PH.....after that, they will start to create issue to PH and the cycle repeats
day & night alternate, high tide & low tight alternate, maybe the cycle of our politic also alternate
