PETALING JAYA: Umno should not give any quarter to party members who are in the Cabinet if they go against the party’s decision to withdraw support for Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, says Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi.
The Umno supreme council member said that the party must be strict and take disciplinary action, alluding that only three out Umno’s 38 MPs are willing to abide by the party decision.
“But will there be a full stop to such acts? Umno must be strict. If there is 10, then it is 10.
“If three remain (with the party), then three it is,” he said in a Facebook post on Saturday (July 17).
“Umno cannot be apologetic… Discipline is discipline. A violation will have repercussions,” he said.
He also noted that there is a perceived split within Umno.
“They are willing to become power brokers, sell the party and negotiate without the blessing of the party.
“The main reason is to remain in their position and are scared to act,” he said.
Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had announced that the party would withdraw its support for Muhyiddin as Prime Minister after a virtual supreme council meeting on July 7.
