Hishammuddin praises Umno Sabah for being solid

Umno VP says solidarity in Sabah Umno should be maintained and strengthened for the sake of future generations.

TAWAU: Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Tun Hussein praised Sabah Umno for its stable and solid condition, despite being the “youngest.”

He said the solidarity in Sabah Umno should be maintained and strengthened for the sake of the future generation.

“We have to ensure Umno remains strong to enable it to face future tests and challenges,” he said in his speech at a dinner with members from Tawau, Kalabakan, Semporna and Silam divisions here last night.

Hishammuddin, who is Defence Minister, said party members should place the party’s interests above their personal interests.

The Federal Government, he said, would fulfil promises it made to Sabah, especially in the acquisition of security assets.

Also present were Sabah Youth and Sports Minister Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titingan and Silam Umno division leader Yusof Apdal.

Meanwhile, Tawfiq, in his speech, said the Federal Government was concerned with security and defence in Sabah and had provided various assets to protect the state and its people against security threats.

This showed the Federal Government listened to the voice of Sabahans and efforts made to maintain security in the state, he added.
