Ali Rustam still popular

  • 9 years ago
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.
