FORMER Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib, who lost in his bid for the Umno deputy presidency, congratulated his contender and hoped the results of the party polls would strengthen the party.
He said there were always winners and losers in contests and that he accepted the delegates’ decision with an open heart.
Muhammad lost to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in the contest.

He also said that he would still do his part to help campaigning in the Bukit Selambau and Bukit Gantang by-elections on April 7.
Asked if the winners last night were new Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s men, Muhammad simply replied that they were Umno men.
Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, who was barred from contesting for the deputy president’s post, congratulated Muhyiddin and the three new vice-presidents.
It is now important for them to give their full support to the party president and to carry the changes for the betterment of the party, he said, adding that he would continue supporting the party’s effort to strengthen its image and to win back support of the Malays. The Star
