Don't just focus on politics, Hishammuddin tells UMNO members

UMNO vice president, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein reminded UMNO members not to focus solely on politics and polemics but also pay more attention on the countrys' economy.

He said apart from addressing political issues, there are many economics issues that need to be focused on.

Hishammuddin, who also Deputy Prime Minister said, among the aspects that need to be focused are the world's economic situation and the depreciation of the ringgit.

"One of the important aspects is the country's economic position, the value of the ringgit, commodity prices and institutions that need boosting," said Hishammuddin when opening the Padang Besar UMNO delegates meeting in Beseri, Perlis on Saturday.

According to Hishammuddin, this kind of situation requires intensity from various departments and agencies involved, so that political issues would not harm the countrys' economy.
