THE ouster of Datuk John Ambrose as KDM Malaysia president clearly indicates that the KDM community in Penampang does not subscribe to the existence of Umno in the Penampang constituency.
Why do we in Penampang need the presence of Umno when we already have PBS, UPKO, PBRS and a number of KDM NGOs that strived all these years to assist and look after the KDM affairs.
After all most of the KDM political Parties are Barisan Nasional components. If they cannot champion the cause of the KDM, then why in the BN?
We appreciated the efforts made by Datuk John Ambrose in initiating the formation of Umno division and KDM Malaysia in Penampang.
Maybe because knowing that the present KDM leaders like Pairin, Dompok, Kurup and others are no longer relevant despite being in the Barisan Nasional(BN).
Maybe, to Datuk, John Ambrose, the presence of Umno in a KDM area can help boost more development for the KDM communities.
