Penang Umno May get New Leader
Penang Umno may soon get a new state liaison officer in place of Datuk Syed Hassan Aidid.
According to an Umno source, all the nine divisional leaders have signed a petition addressed to the party's national president. Tun Razak requesting a new state liaison officer be appointed 'as soon as possible.'
A high party official said the divisions were 'disillusioned' with Datuk Syed Hassan's leadership, especially with regard to the slow economic progress of the Malays in Penang and the uprooting of Malay families from new developing areas.
