KUALA LUMPUR, February 2 – Minister of International Trade and Industry, Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz expressed his intention to run for the position of Member of the Supreme Working Council (MKT) of UMNO in the party’s election later. Tengku Zafrul described the move as significant in the effort to build a serviceable political ‘base’ for the long term.
“Yes, I humbly volunteered to run for the UMNO MKT position to contribute to the party,” he said in a short message to Awani. According to Zafrul, the increasingly dynamic political landscape opens up space for healthy and constructive competition. “This politics is dynamic in nature, and the most important thing is that effective touch helps to dignify the community and the country.
“UMNO is an experienced party and its leaders have experienced political ups and downs, so I believe the party’s leaders and grassroots want to see a more dynamic combination of leadership from various backgrounds to ensure that the process of strengthening the party after GE15 can go well,” he said.
