Umno leader Ahmad Zahid Hamidi did not shy-away from attacking his critics and those who apparently want to topple him as party leader, coming after them with direct blows and calling those who want to challenge him ‘cowards’.
The Umno rivals did not hit back at the party president so far, except for Hishamuddin Hussein who is now saying that he is ready to challenge the leader for the top post in the party.
