MELAKA UMNO Liaison Committee chairperson Datuk Abd Rauf Yusoh has denied rumours claiming that there will be a change of party leadership in the state in the near future.
The Tanjung Bidara state assemblyperson said there were no issues related to the state UMNO leadership at this time.
“No issue. Even until today, the party is in its best condition,” he said when met by reporters at the Malacca Umno Liaison open house at his residence in Kampung Pulau, Masjid Tanah last night.
The Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob also attended the open house.
Rauf, who is also the state’s investment, industry, entrepreneur development and cooperatives committee chairperson, described the rumours as part of the test of the political world.
“I don’t consider that (rumour) as a threat to the position of state UMNO. Everyone can express their feelings,” he said. – May 30, 2022
