Umno vice-presidents Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Hishammuddin Hussein came to Selangor Umno’s rescue when they bumped up prize money for member and voter registration drives by ten-folds today.

This is after a muted response from the 4000-plus Selangor Umno members, after its chief Noh Omar announced prize money of RM5,000 for the branch that registers the most members and voters.

Noh admitted that the seemingly low prize money was because Selangor Umno did not have sufficient have “enough budget”.
