Malaysian Minister Tengku Zafrul Resigns from UMNO, Announces Hajj Pilgrimage

Tengku Zafrul Aziz, former Malaysian Minister of Finance, has resigned from the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party. In a surprise move, Zafrul announced his resignation and issued an apology to his social media followers. Before departing for the Hajj pilgrimage, he expressed his gratitude for their continued support. "I want to thank everyone for their support," Zafrul stated in a video message. The video also shows Zafrul participating in prayers with other individuals, reflecting on his decision. This resignation marks a significant development in Malaysian politics, and Zafrul's subsequent joining of the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adds another layer to the unfolding political landscape.
