KUALA LUMPUR: Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi shed tears while reflecting on his eight years leading the party, which were marked by hardship and trials that tested his strength. Zahid recounted how Umno experienced various ups and downs during that time, with deep wounds that left scars, yet each challenge made the party stronger and more resilient.
