Were you surprised by the result of the Umno Youth election?

It was hard fought. I had a good run-in towards the end. The day of the voting, when each of our names were mentioned, I had really good applause. At that time, I thought I had a chance.

But were you surprised?

By the time the results came out, I thought I had a decent chance. Of course, I was surprised - I didn't think it would be by such a margin - 50 votes from Khir Toyo. I thought it could be much closer...
