Umno Youth won’t support tainted candidates
The Youth wing also wants names of shortlisted candidates to be announced earlier.
(Free Malaysia Today) – Umno Youth will not support any candidate who is tainted by money politics or those who resorted to under-hand tactics to be nominated.
Its assistant secretary Megat Firdaus Megat Junid said: “We will support any winnable candidate but we hope they are not cable (connected) candidates, sympathy candidates, extorting candidates, or even golden handshake candidates.”
Megat Firdaus was speaking while supporting the motion put up earlier by Md Alwi, the Kok Lanas state rep and Ketereh division leader.
Megat Firdaus called for names of shortlisted candidates to be announced earlier so that those who failed to make the list have time to settle their differences and help the party in the next general election.
He also suggested Umno leaders who become saboteurs to be severely punished.
