Back in the fold: Umno Supreme Council revokes former Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s suspension
The Umno Supreme Council has revoked the suspension of former Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s membership in Umno with immediate effect.
(MMO) – Umno Secretary-General Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, in a statement issued to the media after the Supreme Council meeting here last night, said the unanimous decision was made in accordance with Articles 10.6 and 5.3 of the party’s constitution.
“The Supreme Council unanimously decided to lift and revoke the suspension of Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s membership in Umno, effective immediately,” he said.
Tajuddin had previously been suspended for six years starting in September 2022 for criticising the party.
He was reported to have submitted four appeals but had yet to receive any feedback from the party.
Meanwhile, Asyraf Wajdi also announced the appointment of Umno Malaysia Veterans chairman Datuk Othman Desa as a member of the Umno Supreme Council.
“The Supreme Council congratulates Datuk Othman Desa on his appointment as a member,” he said.
He added that last night’s meeting also discussed and reviewed the Madani government, which marked its second anniversary last Saturday, proving to be a robust formula based on unity and the diversity of races and religions.
