PUTRAJAYA, April 4 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah rejoined Umno today in a ringing endorsement of the new administration of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
Dr Mahathir and Siti Hasmah handed over their application forms to rejoin Umno this morning to Najib at a simple ceremony here.
Malaysia’s fourth and longest serving prime minister had left Umno because of his disapproval of his successor Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s administration.
He railed and campaigned against Abdullah, and contributed significantly to the eventual downfall of the country’s fifth prime minister.
Today, he rejoined Umno a day after his nemesis left office.
