Rural Development Minister Abdul Latiff Ahmad has drawn flak from his former colleagues in Umno for claiming that the Malay-based party was no longer popular in Sabah during a livestream yesterday.<br /><br />In a statement today, Umno Youth demanded for Abdul Latiff, who left Umno and is now in Bersatu, to resign as a minister over his insulting remark.<br /><br />Abdul Latiff has since apologised for his remark.<br /><br />"The statement was my own and does not represent the party (Bersatu)... I humbly apologise if my remarks offended certain quarters.<br /><br />"The real enemy is the opposition. Let's not fight among ourselves," he was quoted as saying by the Perikatan Nasional Backbenchers Club (PNBBC) portal.
