Mohd Ali Rustam, even though he was disqualified a week before the Umno election for alleged money politics, preventing him from running for the deputy president post, he was nevertheless still popular among the Umno members.
In an unusual move, he was invited to give a winding-up speech on the final day of the general assembly and as soon as he finished, all the delegates gave him a standing ovation and thunderous applause as a sign of respect.
Even new vice-president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi acknowledged Mohd Ali, who is also Malacca chief minister, for his contributions and asked the delegates to give him standing ovation.
Mohd Ali was seen as the favourite to win the deputy presidency post, but his hope was dashed after the Umno disciplinary board found his agents guilty of money politics.
This allowed Muhyiddin Yassin, the new deputy president, to score an easy win over underdog Muhammad Mohd Taib. What an example! Corruption is not only an open secret in Umno but it is acknowledged and given applause!
