"I feel it is better for us to remain united and face the problems together," he told Bernama.

Concentrate on Kelantan, please

Meanwhile, Umno supreme council member Noh Omar advised Razaleigh to help restore the unity and strength of Kelantan Umno before pursuing other matters.

"I don't see why Ku Li wants to contest for the president's post now. If he is good, he should help Kelantan Umno first," said Noh Omar.

"The government has poured more aid into Kelantan in recent years, but yet it suffered an even worse defeat this election," he added.

The Entrepreneur and Co-operative Development minister said Razaleigh should place more attention in Kelantan.

"It's better for us to play our respective roles. For me, I've to help stabilize Selangor Umno as strength does not come from position alone but arises from unity."
