Mukhriz Mahathir explains his rationale for staying on in Umno in wake of his father’s resignation saying that he will try and effect change from within.

Yesterday, Dr M said that Umno is not what it used to be now that it is under Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Do you agree?

Mukhriz: I agree that the party now is different than before (when it was under Dr Mahathir). The party now has changed to a party that neglects Malay rights and therefore there are some members who decided to take an exit door from Umno. But my friends and I have made a decision to stay in Umno and fight from within.
