Leave Umno if you doubt current leaders, suggests Idris Haron

By Bernama

The Malacca Umno liaison committee has proposed that Umno leaders and members who have doubts about the current party leadership, to leave the party.

Its chairperson, Idris Haron, said such a move was necessary to ensure that the party would remain strong and comprise only leaders and members who were united.

"We must stay united in everything we do...must always act as one to ensure our party can win big in the next general election.

"We don't want to have members who will fight halfheartedly for our cause because that can be the reason for the party's disappointment in the future," he told reporters after opening the Jasin Umno meeting in Lipat Kajang in Jasin today.

On March 4, former prime minister and Umno president Dr Mahathir Mohamad led about 50 individuals in signing a declaration on ousting Najib Razak as prime minister.

Also supporting the declaration were former Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin and former Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir.
