Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Rais Yatim described himself as “the happiest person” that Dr Mahathir was planning to return to Umno.
“Tun (Dr Mahathir) plays an important role in the party. His views will give certain a perspective over issues and I am sure that his return will bring about a positive impact.
“I hope the process of him returning to the party fold is not delayed,” he said.
