PETALING JAYA - It is not over yet for Umno even after the imprisonment of former party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak, said Umno president Zahid Hamidi on Friday .
"They are hoping that their plans and tricks will be made easier to be implemented, clearly they are making a wrong move," he said in a statement, referring to Umno's critics. The Federal Court on Tuesday upheld Najib's conviction, 12-year jail sentence and a RM210 million fine for misappropriating RM42 million of SRC International, a subsidiary of sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.
Zahid said that many detractors had also predicted that it will be over for Umno after the 14th General Election when the Barisan Nasional coalition it leads was defeated for the first time.
