“No, Umno is blessed with a number of strong personalities that have their own personal brand, their own personal popularity but a lot of their independent popularity has often been overblown or misinterpreted as there being tension. Hasan, commonly referred to as Tok Mat, is another prominent leader who has not always appeared to be wholly in tune with his president, but Shahril also brushed this aside as a sign of lively and respectful discourse within the party.
“I think that’s not a big thing that’s happening. It is just right now we have a few personalities that are really strong and have big followership but that doesn't translate into tension,’’ he said.
