Puad will move for Umno to sack Muhyiddin, Mukhriz
Muhyiddin and Mukhriz ‘now stooges of DAP’ for joining opposition leaders in anti-Najib declaration
(FMT) – Umno Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi said today he would move for Muhyiddin Yassin and Mukhriz Mahathir to be expelled for becoming “stooges of the DAP” and conspiring against party leader Najib Razak.
Puad told Star Online: “They should be sacked. This time, I’ll be the one who will suggest this to the supreme council.”
He accused the pair of having deliberately decided to conspire with the DAP and of becoming stooges of the DAP by taking part in Friday’s Citizens’ Declaration seeking the ouster of Najib as prime minister.
The declaration was read by Mukhriz’s father, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who has waged a year-long campaign against Najib. Last week, Dr Mahathir announced he was leaving Umno. Muyhiddin, however, decided to remain a member but joined the Friday gathering, together with Mukhriz.
Muhyiddin and Mukhriz’s action “can no longer be forgiven”, Puad was quoted as saying.
Puad was the third Supreme Council member this weekend to talk about expelling Muhyiddin.
On Saturday, Hassan Malek had first raised the possibility of an emergency meeting of the Supreme Council, which usually meets every month. Earlier today, Nazri Aziz also spoke of expulsion, saying that was his personal view.
