Shahrir: Let Dr M speak at assembly
KUALA LUMPUR: NO ONE should prejudge what Tun Dr
Mahathir Mohamad will touch on if he is allowed to
speak at the party general assembly in November,
says Umno supreme council member Datuk Shahrir Abdul
Samad.
“Let him proceed with his intentions. Whether people
say that he is demeaning himself when he gives his
speech as a delegate is a matter of personal
judgement,” he told reporters at the Parliament
House yesterday.
However, in Jitra, 32 Umno branches in the Kubang
Pasu division urged the former Prime Minister to
reconsider his decision.
The branches in the Temin/ Laka Zone decided on this
at a special meeting in Changlun on Sunday.
Temin Zone Umno secretary Mohd Yusof Jamaludin said
Dr Mahathir should not contest the post of
divisional delegate.
“We do not want him to contest just for the sake of
wanting to speak at the assembly,” he told a press
conference yesterday. |
