Ezam Ready To Go For Umno Youth Chief Post If There Is Support - Bernama

PETALING JAYA, May 29 (Bernama) -- Former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Youth chief, Mohamad Ezam Mohd Nor, said he was ready to contest the Umno Youth chief post if his leadership could help raise the status of the Malays as a respected race.

However, he said, being new in the party might not allow him to make such a big decision.

Still, Mohamad Ezam said, he would discuss the matter with other Umno leaders before making a decision.

"I have to discuss first with the leadership and with friends. If the post is for party and national interests and in the interest of the Malays, I will seriously consider," he said.

He was asked to comment on the possibility that his entry into Umno was to fill the post to be vacated by current Umno Youth chief, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
