Former finance minister Daim Zainuddin says Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin is the most suitable candidate to
bring change to Umno.
Mohamad has spoken out in favour of Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to take over the leadership role in the ruling Umno party.
Amid the recent stepped-up criticism by Tun Dr Mahathir against Prime Minister and Umno leader Najib Razak, former finance minister Daim Zainuddin told the Malaysia Gazette news portal that Umno would face divisions if Tan Sri Muhyiddin was not given the torch to lead the party.
He added that he believed Mr Muhyiddin was the most suitable candidate to bring change to Umno.
"A leader needs a smart team which has brains and understands the country. Muhyiddin is able, but he must know the nation's history. If not, how would we move forward?" Tun Daim was quoted as saying in the interview published last Thursday.
Tun Dr Mahathir has called for Datuk Seri Najib to resign over a range of issues, saying he fears the ruling party would lose the next election under the Prime Minister's leadership.
Analysts say Mr Muhyiddin would stand to benefit the most if Mr Najib steps down, although he previously indicated that he is not interested in the top post. Last week, Mr Muhyiddin broke weeks of silence, urging Dr Mahathir to end his attacks and accept that he would not agree with the Prime Minister on every issue.
