UMNO vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein today reiterated that his decision not to contest in the party election was to give other leaders the opportunity to serve while, at the same, he would help to rebuild the party from Sembrong division.

He said what was crucial to him was the struggles of the party rather than party post.

“For the sake of responsibility and accountability, we give way for now for them to show how they are leading our party, but this does not mean I quit my responsibilities altogether.

“We will tackle Sembrong, Johor and with the new leadership at the national level,” he told reporters after opening the Sembrong Umno division Wanita, Pemuda and Puteri delegates meeting here today.

The former defence minister has said he would defend his Sembrong division chief post. – Bernama, June 23, 2018

  • Hishammuddin is SMART bu withdrawing and watch at the sideline. If the new umno president fail - Hishammuddin is not to be blamed. If the new umno president is successful - he will return and claim some credit plus position in umno. This is using the wise Pandi Kutty - Art of Bullshits - "Let your Kuli work while you enjoy the harvest".
