Umno gears up for Sabah polls, aims to strengthen state presence
KUALA TERENGGANU: Umno is a principled party that always strives to solve the people's problems, said Terengganu Umno Liaison Committee chairman Datuk Rozi Mamat.
He said Umno is also a trustworthy party and not one that "jumps" (switches allegiance).
Based on this stance, he said, Umno continues to actively prepare for the Sabah state election, which is expected to take place in the near future.
He said the state election is not just an election but also a platform to determine the direction and future of Sabah.
"All party leaders in Sabah need to play a role in refuting claims that Umno is only a Peninsular (Malaysia) party," he said at the official opening of the Semporna Umno Division Meeting in Sabah yesterday.
Terengganu Umno has been appointed as the "foster parent" to the Semporna and Lahad Datu Umno divisions for this Sabah state election.
Rozi said Terengganu Umno would assist the party's operations in Semporna and Lahad Datu for this state election.
"We do not come empty-handed. We come with full spirit and determination to help the election machinery in Semporna and Lahad Datu," he said.
