Hishammuddin who is also the party's former vice president said what had happened has only strengthened his resolve to continue to work for the good of the nation and its people.
" As for my next move, I will have to discuss with the Umno Sembrong leadership as to what will be my next plans," he said in the video.
He also thanked those who had contacted him and left words of encouragement.
