Johor polls: Umno's reduction of seats shows Barisan is a tolerant coalition, says Mahdzir

BATU PAHAT: Umno's decision to reduce the seats it will contest in the March 12 Johor state election proves that component parties under Barisan Nasional practised tolerance with one another, said party vice president Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid.

"We are a coalition older than 60 years and we (component parties) must be tolerant," he told reporters on Friday (Feb 25) after an event at Parit Sulong.
