BUTTERWORTH: Former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad has officially joined Umno, submitting his membership form in a brief ceremony in Sungai Dua today.
The Penang native said he took his time before entering politics, wanting to assess things carefully.
“I feel the time is right. What matters most to me is continuing to serve the people of Tasek Gelugor, regardless of race or religion,” Harian Metro reported.

He had previously hinted at joining politics during the 15th General Election in 2022, with speculation he would contest in Tasek Gelugor although it never materialised.
