Party success needs team effort- Johari Ghani
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani today called on party members to embrace a team-based approach, warning that relying on individuals alone will lead to failure. Johari, who is Titiwangsa Umno division chief, likened political strategy to a football match, that every 'player' must play their part effectively for the team to succeed. "We need to have a team mentality. If we do not base our efforts on a team, we won't get anywhere," he said at the division's delegates meeting today. Johari, who is also Titiwangsa member of Parliament, cited his experience in past general elections, noting that he lost in the 14th General Election despite being the deputy finance minister at the time, due to a weak team structure. "I lost by 4,000 votes because the team was not solid," he said. The plantation and commodities minister illustrated his point with an analogy involving a village football team that spent RM300 million to recruit Cristiano Ronaldo, only to find the star player ineffective because the rest of the team could not get the ball to him. Johari said success is only possible when each member of the team understands their role. In his speech, Johari also credited Barisan Nasional's win in Titiwangsa in the 15th General Election to four and a half years of careful preparation and the dedication of grassroots members including branch leaders, Wanita, Youth and Puteri wings. "We won during the worst tsunami in Umno's history, but Titiwangsa held firm because the team was solid," he said. He said that even the most prominent figures cannot win elections without a functioning support system. "Even with great strikers, if the team is not strong, this is what we will see," he said, referring to a former prime minister who lost his deposit in Langkawi despite his legacy. Looking ahead to the 16th General Election, Johari cautioned that dismantling the team concept would be detrimental, regardless of the candidate. Later, at a press conference, Johari said political success cannot rest on the shoulders of one individual alone, underscoring the importance of teamwork in any contest. "One person cannot win for the party. He cannot guarantee victory on his own," said Johari, adding that a strong team creates a better chance of winning. Meanwhile, acknowledging the diversity within political organisations, Johari said differing opinions and ideologies are common. "We must accept the reality that political parties are established to champion their respective ideologies," he said, citing Umno, DAP, PKR, Amanah and the various parties from Sabah and Sarawak as examples. He highlighted the challenge and the necessity of cooperation among ideologically distinct parties during elections and in forming a functional government post-victory. "The real question is how we organise our roles despite differing ideologies and once we win, how we unite to build a government that can drive national development." He said Malaysia's political landscape has changed significantly. "It's no longer like the past, where one party could dominate for up to 60 years. Now, we must learn the concept of power-sharing," he said.

Perhentian Island cleanup nets 70kg trash
BESUT: Driven by a shared commitment to protect marine ecosystems in Malaysia, employee volunteers from Yayasan Sime Darby's (YSD) donor companies took part in a conservation event at Perhentian Island. Organised by YSD as part of its annual environmental volunteerism programme, the initiative was aimed at encouraging active participation in conservation work. The programme led to the construction of five coral blocks, along with the removal of about 70kg of trash from Teluk Keke Beach and 14.5kg of litter from the reefs at D'Lagoon. In an exclusive interview with theSun, YSD CEO Dr Yatela Zainal Abidin said this year, a special initiative was organised in which employee volunteers from Sime Darby Berhad, SD Guthrie Berhad and Sime Darby Property Berhad took part in turtle, coral and seagrass conservation efforts. 'This programme is part of YSD's ongoing environmental volunteerism initiative, which allocates about RM300,000 annually to support employee volunteerism in conservation efforts.' Yatela said this was YSD's second marine conservation effort, with the first held at Tioman Island. She expressed hope that this type of initiative would continue yearly and inspire other organisations to support similar efforts. 'You can't change your lifestyle without understanding the impact. But once you do, you feel empowered to make better choices.' Yatela said YSD partnered with Fuze Ecoteer for two days of cleanups and marine conservation activities and many volunteers had the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the urgency to protect oceans. Diver volunteer Rabiyatul Adawiyah Mohd Shamsuddin, 37, described the campaign site as beautiful. But like most dive sites today, it showed signs of stress. 'There were areas with damaged corals, and a diver who visited the site last year noted that it had visibly deteriorated since his last trip, which is quite concerning. 'Most of the waste we found were plastic, bottles, wrappers and straws. There were also fishing-related items such as buoys, as well as footwear, glass bottles, fabric and cigarette butts.' She said as a diver, she loves the underwater world and seeing the immediate impact of their efforts, including the process of separating and recording debris gives her a sense of purpose. 'It also makes us more aware of how our everyday actions could harm marine life, which in the end, comes back to affect us.' Rabiyatul said awareness of ocean pollution in Malaysia is still lacking, especially on issues such as littering and the harmful habit of feeding marine animals. 'I hope to see more initiatives in schools, tourist areas and local communities to shift mindsets and habits such as introducing marine-focused clubs and making Marine Week an annual event (in Malaysia). 'Even small efforts could make a difference. Our lives and even the national economy are tied to the health of our oceans, so it deserves far more attention.' Lai Yu Hung, 27, said the event was an eye-opening experience that changed his perception of beach pollution. 'The ocean produces a large portion of the oxygen we breathe, yet awareness remains low. If no one takes action, it would only get worse. So, I took the first step.' Lai said he was shocked by some of the items collected during the cleanup, including an old television and large plastic barrels buried in the sand. 'Our coral reefs are deteriorating. Even small actions such as feeding fish with bread could trigger a chain reaction. 'The fish can't digest the bread, so they stop feeding on the microorganisms that live on coral. When the coral dies, the ecosystem collapses and eventually, it affects all of us. The ocean takes care of us, we need to take care of it too.'
