ALOR GAJAH: Melaka Umno liaison committee chairman Ab Rauf Yusoh has denied rumours that there will be a change in the state party leadership in the near future.
The Tanjung Bidara assemblyman said there were no issues related to the state Umno leadership at this time.
“No issue. The party is in great shape,” he said when met by reporters at the Melaka Umno liaison committee Hari Raya open house at his residence in Kampung Pulau, Masjid Tanah, last night.
Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka Ali Rustam and Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob also attended the open house.
Ab Rauf, who is also the state’s investment, industry, entrepreneur development and cooperatives committee chairman, described the rumours as “just another test one has to face in politics”.
“I don’t consider such claims or rumours as a threat to the position of the state Umno leadership. Everyone is free to express their feelings,” he said.
