Umno vice-president Shafie Apdal has denied claims that he took a cautious approach on matters that dealt with the party’s leadership in order to avoid being sacked from his position.
Instead, Shafie stressed that if the claims were true, he would not have been dropped as rural and regional development minister.
“If I had taken a cautious approach, I would not have been dropped from cabinet. You were not in the meeting so you would not have known what I said,” Shafie told reporters after attending a meet-and-greet session at Kampung Bukit Lanchong, Shah Alam, last night.
