UMNO AGM Describing it as a sign of his "magnanimity", Umno president Najib Abdul Razak today extended an olive branch to his opponents for the sake of strengthening Umno.

Umno top leaders seated on the main stage then stood up and applauded Najib who was delivering his closing speech at the Umno annual general assembly.

Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin also stood up with the other leaders, but appeared visibly stone-faced.

Amidst the applause, Najib said: “I want to state that if any quarter continues to reject this (offer of peace), listen well.

“You better be careful, because this is no longer a personal issue,” he said.

Najib said this meant that these quarters would not only be against him as party president, but that they were also against efforts to reconcile.

Najib and Muhyiddin shook hands at the end of his speech which was again concluded with cries of "No retreat, No surrender" similar to his opening speech made on Wednesday.

Muhyiddin, however, did manage to crack a small smile during the handshake, which appeared awkward.

Muhyiddin had his fingers extended while Najib grabbed Muhyiddin’s right hand with both his hands.

Meanwhile, Najib in his speech had reasoned how there was no reason to be enemies.

“Because the one who wins will turn to charcoal while the one who loses will become dust and someone else will benefit from this,” he said.

Muhyiddin earlier today said he believes there was no reason for him to apologise to anyone.

A portal aligned to Najib, MyKMU.net , had claimed that Muhyiddin may tender an apology to his boss today.

Najib and Muhyiddin had a falling-out over 1MDB, resulting in the latter being removed from the cabinet, together with Umno vice-president Shafie Apdal.

Muhyiddin and Shafie have since been sidelined by the party, and are taking jabs at Najib over the 1MDB scandal.
