Muhyiddin Urges Delegates To Choose Wisely

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has called on the delegates to the Umno General Assembly next week to choose their leaders wisely and not be influenced by wild allegations and lies.
"The important thing is to take Umno forward. Umno must be strong and we should not be weakened by attempts to discredit the party," he told Bernama after attending a recording for the Bernama TV interview programme, "Hello Malaysia", at Wisma Bernama here.
He strongly denied allegations linking him with any conspiracy to bring down Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, a candidate for the Umno deputy presidency.
"Why should I have anything to do with it? I'm just a small man who would have no influence on the Umno Disciplinary Board," he said.
He also said that it was not proper to link the board's decisions to any conspiracy because doing so would be tantamount to questioning the board's credibility.
On Tuesday, the Umno Disciplinary Board barred Mohd Ali, who is Melaka Chief Minister, from contesting in the upcoming party polls after finding him guilty of breaching party ethics.
Asked on the possibility of supporters of Mohd Ali shifting their support to Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib, the other candidate for the deputy presidency's post, Muhyiddin said he hoped that the delegates would vote based on a leader's track record.
"I hope the delegates will be wise, rational and fair in choosing their leaders," said Muhyiddin.
With Mohd Ali barred from contesting, the tussle for the deputy presidency will now be between Muhyiddin and Muhammad.
