KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 15 — Umno Youth chief Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh today announced that he will resign from his post as Melaka State Executive Councillor for Rural Development, Agriculture and Food Security effective next week.
However, he will continue to serve the party as the Umno youth chief.
“To show that I am carrying the voice of the grassroots who are concerned (about working with DAP), I am hereby resigning from my position as a Melaka state executive councillor, effective next week.
“But if anyone says that I am abandoning the struggle, that is absolutely not the case — I am not leaving Umno Youth,” he said in his policy speech at the youth wing annual assembly here.
