Ahmad Maslan: Boos don't mean they hate me

Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Ahmad Maslan insisted today that the booing of him at the Pontian Umno division annual general meeting last Sunday does not mean the delegates dislike him.

The incident had been an embarrassment for Ahmad, who is the division's deputy chief and also the constituency's MP.

However, Ahmad insisted he still enjoyed support, pointing out that his private secretary and special officer garnered the second and third most votes respectively among seven representatives elected to represent Pontian Umno at the party's annual general assembly at the end of the year.



"If Pontian (Umno) delegates dislike me, then logically, two of my assistants would also have been rejected by delegates," he said in a blog posting.

He added the votes were cast immediately after the conclusion of the Pontian annual general meeting last Sunday.

Ahmad also insisted the booing was started by two individuals who he claimed were not Pontian Umno delegates.
