Agreeing with Asyraf Wajdi, Zahid says possible for Umno to recover if there’s no internal dispute

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 8 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today said he agrees with Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki’s assertion that the party can recover its reputation provided there is no internal dispute among its leaders.

The Umno president conceded that some party members have instead made the situation a lot worse, citing the Malay idiom “ibarat tikus membaiki labu” — which refers to someone ignorant trying to fix a thing and resulting in the thing becoming more damaged.

“The statement by the Umno secretary-general is correct because since 2018, we have witnessed various internal characters ‘ibarat tikus membaiki labu’,” he said when met by reporters after the launch of MyNext and the exchange of Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) here.
