The event was held at the lobby of the World Trade Centre (WTC) Kuala Lumpur as part of the second day of UMNO’s 80th anniversary celebrations.
In a post on X, Zahid, who is also UMNO President, wrote: “Memasuki hari kedua Sambutan Hari UMNO ke-80, saya sempat singgah ke pertandingan pidato yang sedang berlangsung di ruang legar WTC Kuala Lumpur. Hebat-hebat anak muda kita ni berpidato yaa.”
