UMNO Supreme Council will look into the wisdom of having live telecasts of the UMNO Assemblies in the future. UMNO Deputy President Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak conceded that some speeches in the recent assembly was extreme and was quoted by the press of saying "We have gone through this before but because of the direct telecast, they should not use that to pass judgment on Umno. Sometimes inexperienced speakers tend to get carried away by the occasion and they play to the gallery. They should realise that when they speak, there are others outside the party who are also listening to their speeches." [source]

Having shown the world the true colours of UMNO, the Supreme Council will now look into trying to hide their colours. You are what you say. And if you had the courage of saying something in public, you will be judged by the public on what you say (whether your intention is otherwise or whether you got carried away). If these speakers were indeed inexperienced, why did the assembly applaud them in approval of what they said? Unless applause is not a sign of approval, I do not know what it is.
