Butt Out, Muhyiddin Tells Hadi

(MySinchew) – PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang should keep his own house in order instead of meddling in Umno's affairs, said Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

"Stop intruding in our affairs, we are not asking you for advice. Let us take care of our problems, just look after your party as you have enough problems," said Muhyiddin

He was commenting on Abdul Hadi's suggestion, in the Dewan Rakyat Wednesday (18 Feb), that the power transition from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to his deputy, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to be postponed to enable Abdullah to complete his unfinished agenda.

Speaking to reporters at the Umno Bukit Gantang division office here today, he said, "I do not think he meant well."

He quashed rumours that Abdullah would not resign as prime minister but would only step down as Umno president next month.

"Do not believe the rumours as they are cooked up by certain quarters to undermine Umno and its leaders," he said, adding that the transition plan was a rational and wise plan.

On the Bukit Gantang parliamentary by-election, he said the contest would prove that Barisan Nasional (BN) was regaining the support of the people.
