Azalina berkata, umno ada masalah imej Melayu. Kes SPRM, kes video seks Anwar (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim).
“Kes video telah dimanipulasi hingga orang kata Umno yang buat. Malahan pula orang kenal siapa Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik ,” tambahnya.
Azalina kata,”profesional Melayu bandar tidak pedulikan Umno, sebaliknya mementingkan soal gaji dan keluarga mereka.”
