MUAR: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said yesterday other Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties should emulate Umno’s decision to sack members who sabotage BN candidates in the next general election.
All BN component parties should not take the matter of sabotage lightly and let the culprits feel that they have escaped punishment, said the Umno deputy president and BN deputy chairman.
“In fact, they should take simi lar action because our candidates are standing not on their party’s ticket but on a BN ticket.
“We have 13 parties in the BN (coalition). If any of the parties’ members are proven to have sabotaged candidates, the relevant party must take disciplinary action, including sacking them,” he told reporters after opening the Pagoh Umno Division delegates meeting, here.
On Saturday, Muhyiddin said Umno would sack members proven to have sabotaged its candidates in the next general election, and Home Minister and Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein suggested that other BN parties emulate Umno’s decision.— Bernama
