Umno does not want to be linked with a "backdoor government" or one that "fell through the roof" because it wasn't responsible for the backdoor move, said Umno chief Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

"It was not Umno who pried the roof open or left the back door ajar. So, don't link us with this type of rubbish," he said while delivering his keynote address at the Umno annual general assembly today.
