SHAH ALAM - Umno has proposed Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh as the new Melaka Chief Minister.

Party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said he had submitted Rauf's name and a letter to Yang Dipertua Negeri Melaka Tun Mohd Ali Rustam to accept the resignation of Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali as Chief Minister.

"I have already sent a letter to Yang Dipertua Negeri Melaka to accept the resignation of the Chief Minister (Sulaiman) and the party hereby proposes Datuk Seri Rauf as the new Chief Minister," he was quoted in Berita Harian.

He said the replacement was decided due to Sulaiman's health problems.

He said this in a press conference after chairing the National Council for the Development of Entrepreneurs and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (PMKS), at the Parliament Building, today.

It was earlier speculated that Melaka Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali would be resigning from his post by Friday.

It is also understood that Sulaiman's position will be filled by Ab Rauf, who is also the state's senior exco for investment, industrial cooperative development, and entrepreneurship.
