Muhyiddin Yassin has vowed to continue voicing out, stressing that his decision to remain in Umno does not mean he will remain silent.

"I'm not afraid of any threat," he told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

"Although I am remaining (in Umno), I will continue to speak out, in fact, much louder," he added.

Responding to a question, the suspended Umno deputy president also confirmed that he would attend the March 27 gathering.

The gathering , mooted by former de facto law minister Zaid Ibrahim, is to protest the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Muhyiddin also said he is willing to work with all quarters, who have the same aim.

"It doesn't matter who they are as long as we are on the same path," he added.

Speaking at a press conference together with Umno vice-president Shafie Apdal and former Kedah menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir, Muhyiddin said there was a need to go to the ground to engage the public.

"This is the people's fight. This is your fight," Muhyiddin said.

Asked if Shafie and Mukhriz would also go to the ground to engage the public, Muhyiddin said: "Yes."
