Umno Maran men sacked for being PKR-friendly

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno’s Disciplinary Committee sacked three members from its Maran division in Pahang with immediate effect for two offences including sabotaging the party.

Umno president Najib Razak, in making the announcement on the sackings, said Mohd Zamri Mohd Sham from the Kampong Sekara branch was sacked for speaking at a Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) platform during the formation of PKR’s Maran division, and attacking Umno after being dissatisfied with the divisional leadership in Maran Umno.

The two others were Mohd Khairi Dahalan from the Taman Sri Keramat branch and Ahmad Shukor Awang from the Kampong Senggora branch, for being members of Maran Umno and Maran PKR at the same time.

“Now we are very strict. We will not tolerate dual membership and will sack any member committing this offence once we have the proof,” Najib told a press conference after chairing an Umno Supreme Council (MT) meeting at the Putra World Trade Centre here Tuesday. – Bernama
