KUALA LUMPUR: Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh (pic) says he will wait for an official resignation letter from Datuk Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh before deciding on the latter’s position in the Melaka state government.
“I will review the matter comprehensively and how it is resolved. However, I respect Muhamad Akmal’s decision as he embodies the Umno Youth wing’s spirit,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the Umno annual general assembly here on Thursday (Jan 15).
Earlier today, Dr Muhamad Akmal who is Umno Youth chief, said he has resigned from his post as a Melaka executive council member.

“I will resign from the post as the Melaka exco but I will not leave Umno Youth,” he told the delegates at the World Trade Centre here.
