MELAKA – The decision of Ketereh Umno Youth chief Afiq Amani Annuar to quit the party yesterday will not dampen the spirit of other members to remain loyal to the party.
Party youth chief Muhamad Akmal Saleh, in a statement today, said the party wing would remain steadfast and continue to shoulder the responsibilities to strengthen the party.
“Leaders come and go. We will continue our fight for the party’s struggles.
“I would like to remind and advise Umno Youth that our struggle is not based on individuals or any political figure, but the youth wing is to continue its function and role in recruiting young members, as well as its struggles for religion, race and the country.”
It was reported yesterday that the division’s youth information chief Ahmad Syauqi Mazlan also quit Umno.
Akmal said that following the development, the Ketereh Umno Youth chief post would be assumed by Afiq’s deputy Azhan Ishak. – August 5, 2023
