UMNO women’s head Noraini Ahmad today refuted a claim that several Umno members will leave the party over the presence of DAP leaders’ at the Unity Government National Convention on Sunday at World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur.

She said the DAP leaders’ presence should be viewed in a positive light, especially in the context of the unity government.

Noraini said no Umno member is quitting the party.

“We have to utilise the strengths of each party… Umno has its strengths, Pakatan Harapan has theirs.

“GPS (Gabungan Parti Sarawak) too has its own strengths and the same goes with GRS (Gabungan Rakyat Sabah). We must not look at it negatively. Look at the positive side,” she told reporters at the Rubber Industry Smallholder Development Authority Raya celebration at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur today.

She was commenting on a statement by Muafakat Nasional president Annuar Musa that more Umno members will resign following the presence of DAP leaders at the convention. – Bernama, May 16, 2023.
