A senior UMNO leader dismissed suggestions that the party would break up, saying Mahathir’s departure “is not that important.” He indicated that the party was glad to be rid of Mahathir’s disruptive influence.
“I welcome his decision. It is high time for him” to leave, said Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, a Cabinet minister and a member of UMNO’s supreme council.
“He is old enough to decide. He has every right to do it but he shouldn’t urge members to follow him. It’s up to the members.”
