PETALING JAYA: Umno veteran Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has resigned from his post as chairman of the party’s advisory council.
In a letter to party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dated Sept 20 that was sighted by FMT, he expressed his disappointment that nearly all of the Cabinet posts under the new Ismail Sabri Yaakob administration were filled by those from the previous “failed government” despite concerns among the public and grassroots.
The Gua Musang MP, who is more popularly known as Ku Li, thanked the party for giving him the opportunity to play a role in Umno’s journey.
The resignation letter was confirmed to be authentic by a source close to the matter.
“Can they help our party avenge our (2018) defeat in the 15th general election (GE15) and end the hung parliament? Can we rely on them to bring our party victory in GE15?” he asked alluding to Umno’s allies in the current government, namely Bersatu and PAS.
