Khaled: Ku Li has right to contest

Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin said today that Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has every right to offer himself for the post of Umno president and members have the same rights to reject him too.

"That is his right. If the members do not support him, that is also their right," said the Johor Umno liaison Committee deputy chairperson after attending a meeting with branch leaders of the Pasir Gudang division.
Khaled said that it is better for Umno members to focus on efforts to resolve their own problems.
"I feel it is better for us to remain united and face the problems together," he told Bernama.
Concentrate on Kelantan, please
Meanwhile, Umno supreme council member Noh Omar advised Razaleigh to help restore the unity and strength of Kelantan Umno before pursuing other matters.
"I don't see why Ku Li wants to contest for the president's post now. If he is good, he should help Kelantan Umno first," said Noh Omar.
"The government has poured more aid into Kelantan in recent years, but yet it suffered an even worse defeat this election," he added.
The Entrepreneur and Co-operative Development minister said Razaleigh should place more attention in Kelantan.
"It's better for us to play our respective roles. For me, I've to help stabilize Selangor Umno as strength does not come from position alone but arises from unity."

tunku : noh omar for your info, tengku razaleigh is not the kelantan bn/umno chairman.It's annuar musa who received the BIG budget.the defeat in kelantan is not because tengku razaleigh but because of annuar musa,pak lah and kj's factor.the defeats in other states because of the father/son in-law factor. and these people should resign and quit politics for good and by all means crossover to other party.
