Umno leaders today rebutted former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad's
claim that BN and in particular Umno, was unprepared for the next
general election.
When contacted by Malaysiakini today, Cheras Umno division chief Syed Ali Alhabshee said, "We are
ready, all divisions are ready, when prime minister (Najib Abdul Razak)
says go, we will go."
Mahathir (right) had yesterday said that if BN faced an election now, its chances of winning were slim due to factional infighting within Umno and was quoted as saying, "When
the Umno president announces a candidate (for the general election),
there always will be protests, supposedly that the candidate is wrong. And
if someone else is chosen, the ones that were not picked will sabotage
the chosen candidate."
Syed Ali said that this however should not be construed as something that would cause BN's defeat.
