This article is 3 months old
Dr Mahathir Mohamad has dismissed Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s recent bid to take credit for saving the party from being banned during his second stint in Putrajaya after the 14th general election.
In a statement, the former premier denied Zahid’s claim that he had attempted to ban Umno, reminding instead how the party had suffered its worst electoral defeat and ousted from federal power for the first time.
