BAGAN DATUK: The outcome of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election shows that Malay voters are mature in making their choice, says Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.“The voters have matured and this is a positive development. Despite being plagued by sentiments, they accepted the fact that the unity government is far better for political stability in the country,” he told reporters after launching the Bagan Datuk Umno division meeting yesterday.
He said the party’s membership was increasing each month, with none of its over 21,000 branches dissolved so far. “Not a single one of the branches has been dissolved. In fact, every branch has an increase in members,” he added.
