BERA – Ketereh Umno chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa hinted today that he does not intend to contest the post of Umno president at the party elections, which will be held six months after the 15th general election this Saturday. 

“This is a dangerous question. As I said before, I like being the little guy in a safe ship… I don’t want to fight (for a position),” said the caretaker communications and multimedia minister.

Annuar told this to reporters after attending the handing over of PerantiSiswa Keluarga Malaysia devices at SMK Mengkarak here today.

Also present was caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Meanwhile, Annuar said Umno needs to understand the pulse of the people in order to remain relevant.

In addition, Umno also needs to be sensitive and responsive to the sentiments and conditions of the people, as well as the grassroots of the party, who want it to remain dynamic, he said. – Bernama, November 16, 2022
