KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Sunday announced he would defend his post of Umno vice-president at the party elections in December, dismissing speculation that he might go for the party presidency or deputy presidency.He also said that he abided by the decision of the Umno Supreme Council for an orderly transition of power from Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in June 2010.
"As such, I feel it is most appropriate for me to defend my post of vice-president so that I can play a role in facilitating the transition of power," he said in a statement issued here on Sunday. Muhyiddin said he arrived at the decision based on the fact he wanted to ensure party integrity and put up a credible and strong top leadership which could strive to champion the unity and plight of Malays.
He also said that the decision he had taken did not mean that he was dismissing the principles of democracy and the Umno members' right of expression.
Three Johor Umno branches -- Stulang Laut, Permas Jaya and Kampung Desa Jaya -- have unanimously expressed their desire at their annual meetings for Muhyiddin to be nominated to contest the post of party president.
"Umno holds steadfastly to democratic principles and does not at all restrict its members from expressing their opinions in arriving at decisions which they regard as good for the party," said Muhyiddin, who is International Trade and Industry Minister.
He also said that Umno subscribed to consensus in its administrative procedures and always adhered to its regulations and Constitution.
As such, he hoped that all party members could place their trust in him to defend his vice-presidency. Muhyiddin was elected Umno vice-president in 1993 after having failed in his first attempt in 1990. He did not retain the post in 1996 but won it four years later and has held it since.
Muhyiddin said he realised that his decision would come as a disappointment to certain quarters and party members but "I wish to emphasise that every struggle requires sacrifice and I will always respect and appreciate their support."
tunku : we are very disappointed with you muhyiddin.we were hoping that you will go for no 2 position. end of hopes from seeing any challenge for no 1 and no 2 post in december 2008.everyone is so scared to lose their position.they all have no guts.

Awak nak kata apa, katalah Din, apapun banyak awak punya alasan, Kita orang sudah bungkus - Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Mohd Najib Abdul Razak, dan Muhyiddin Yassin, dalam satu pakej pemimpin yang tidak boleh diharap, pemimpin tidak boleh pakai punya orang.
Expired! Gone case.
Hero, masih Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
Dia tidak menang tak apa. Dia susah nak menang kami faham. Tapi mulia dan tingginya dia dipandangan kami.
Awak Din, makanlah sekenyangnya dari gaji, elaun dan sebagainya yang awak berhak.
Kami siapalah nak bela, 1 September 2008 harga minyak tak diturunkan dan cuma diselaras kononnya.
Awak tak akan bangkang punya. Jagalah periuk nasi sendiri itu.
Periuk nasi kami tak perlulah lagi awak prihatinkan.
Kami sudah tahu awak tu pemimpin macam mana.

Dalam filem P Ramlee ada hal yang begini, "Asal aku sebut je kau muncul".
Sesiapa yang sebut nak bertanding Presiden UMNO sahaja, menentang Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, mestilah ada yang konco yang timbul.
Kuat semangat macam mana pun boleh lemah.
Jika pemimpin pun kecut, habeh, cammanalah pengikut nak berani.
Terkecuali hero PJ tu.
Rasanya tak perlu bomoh. Sebut ayat sahaja seseorang pemimpin boleh terkancing. Maklumlah fail semua pemimpin siapa yang jaga dan baca.
Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, terkecuali sedikit, tapi ingatkan dulu senang dan lancar, kini sudah ada buku merah selepas pengumumannya nak menentang Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, tidak lah Ku Li selancar mula-mula dulu.
Adeh!
Ada sebutan Rais Yatim. Awal-awal dulu dia dah kata, "Tak Nak!"
Pemimpin lain lagilah tak boleh diharap.
Macam gayanya beyond 2010 pun pemimpin yang sama!
Terkecuali Mukhriz Mahathir go for it!
Tapi report dulu semua yang amalkan politik wang, semua kena tatatertib.
Lancar sikit!
Agree. Its quite disappointing for us to see him not contesting for the second post in the party. Anyway the least thing that I can do is respect his decision. Maybe he is not confident enough to contest for this time.
Betul tu, mungkin dia belum bersedia untuk memikul tanggungjawab lebih besar sebagai presiden.
