Dr M absent from Umno meet

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — It was to be Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s triumphant presence at Umno 2008 to see his successor’s departure but the ex-party multi-hyphenate did not turn up.

The former party president and member was invited as an observer but his press secretary Sufi Yusoff confirmed he would not be present today.

There was no reason although it was learnt he could be at another event.

Some speculated he did not turn up as his youngest son Datuk Mukhriz lost and came out last in the Umno Youth chief race yesterday.

Dr Mahathir had asked Umno delegates not to vote in corrupt leaders and had branded Mukhriz rivals as such.

The new Umno Youth chief is Khairy Jamaluddin, son-in-law to outgoing president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi whom Dr Mahathir has campaigned to oust.

Kempen Dr.Mahathir untuk meng”nyah”kan menantu PM, Khairy Jamaluddin menemui kegagalan apabila beliau menang dengan 304 undi.

Khir Toyo ditempat kedua dengan 254 undi.

Sementara Mukhriz ditempat yang terakhir dengan 232 undi.

Lenyaplah legasi Dr.Mahathir didalam Umno.

Tidak seperti apa yang berlaku kepada anak Razak Hussein dan Hussein Onn yang diterima oleh Umno.

Esok akan menjadi lebih menarik dimana Dr.Mahathir akan hadir ke Perasmian Perhimpunan Agong Umno dimana Khairy telah diangkat secara sah menjadi Ketua Pemuda sambil mendengar ucapan perasmian kepada Bapa Mertuanya.
