A party delegate from Penang, Bukit Gelugor division leader Omar Faudzar, in expressing his dissatisfaction over Zahid’s leadership, said the president seemed to be afraid to speak.

“Sometimes, I see the president seems to be afraid to answer.

“To be a leader, you have to be firm,” he said during the debate session on the president’s policy speech at the party’s annual general assembly at the Putra World Trade Centre here today.

Omar was believed to be referring to the action by a few Umno MPs who were said to have approached government leaders for financial allocation.

He said the party leadership should take action against Umno members who are not loyal to the party.

“It is meaningless to have two-faced members who do not want to follow the president’s instructions, but they are present at this annual assembly,” he added.
