| Najib Says He'll Meet Mahathir, But Not So Soon |
|
PEKAN, May 24 (Bernama) -- Umno Deputy President Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today he would meet Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to discuss the latter's decision to quit Umno, but not in the near future.
"I have given it thought but it is not necessary that I meet him in the near future. Let's see the situation," he told reporters here when asked whether he was prepared to meet Dr Mahathir again to discuss his spat with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
Najib, who is the deputy prime minister, called on Umno members to focus on the work of rebuilding the party and getting closer to the people.
Asked what action would be taken against Umno Youth executive committee member Datuk Mukhriz Tun Mahathir for having demanded the resignation of Abdullah, he said the Umno Management Committee would require a comprehensive report on the matter from Umno Youth chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Najib had attended a ceremony at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Maulana where a circumcision and ear-piercing ceremony was held for 143 children.
Earlier, he launched a "Hadhari" village carnival organised by private television station TV9 and the Pahang Islamic Religious Affairs Department at the Pekan District Council square.
