UMNO President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi took a firm stand despite the various accusations and slanders leveled against him.

Through his Facebook post, the Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman stressed out that no matter how bad he was battered, both internally and externally, UMNO’s real strength is from the grassroots.

“I remain steadfast despite the slanderous bullets and UMNO-bashing tactics by many quarters against me. The real strength of UMNO is from the grassroots,” he said.

Zahid, who is also Member of Parliament for Bagan Datuk, further stressed that although there were attempts to weaken the party, it remain strong.

“Even though the leaders are faced with unscrupulous and dirty tactics to break them apart, the fort is still intact,” he said.
