Anti-Najib conspiracy in Umno Youth
An pro-Umno website identifies a ‘Group of 5’ working to bring down the PM
(Free Malaysia Today) – An pro-Umno website has alleged that there is a conspiracy at the top level of Umno Youth to bring down Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
MyKMU.net, in an article billed as an “exclusive”, identified the conspirators as Umno Youth vice-president Khairul Azwan Harun, Umno Youth executive councillors Arman Azha Abu Hanifah, Syamsul Baharin Putra Ahmad Shibi and Sheikh Ahmad Nafiq Abdul Rahman, and Barisan Nasional Youth assistant secretary Mohamed Shafri Abdul Aziz. It refers to them as the “Group of 5”.
It said Khairul Azwan, at a meeting with Johor Umno Youth yesterday, called for opposition to Najib’s leadership and suggested that Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin lead that opposition. The meeting was held in Rompin.
“Azwan, who was supposed to be leading a discussion on the campaign strategy for the Rompin by-election, was more interested in speaking on the issue of Umno Youth’s support for the Prime Minister,” the article said, claiming that Azwan’s demeanour shocked those present at the meeting.
“According to sources,” it added, “Azwan told Johor Umno Youth that the movement’s support was for the office of the Umno President, not for Najib.
