“I have given 20 years of my political life (to Umno) and I have got into a lot of difficulties because of my views and not that I was disloyal. I have always had different views on many things previously and today

I have been suspended from the party for nothing and now disqualified from running for (the Kota Baru) division election. So what do you want me to do if you are in my position?”
