JOHOR BARU: Umno is a political party and not subordinate to Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) or to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
The Umno vice-president said this is the reason why former chief justice Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad should understand that Umno felt unfairly treated in the allocation of Cabinet seats.
“Umno only changed its stand after Malaysia’s political situation gave rise to conflicts due to the actions of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Khaled stressed that without the support from the two parties, Muhyiddin could not have formed a government.“Do not forget that almost 35% of Bersatu MPs won their seat on an Umno ticket and the rest jumped just to get positions as it won only 13 seats in the last election.
He also said that the 10 ministers coming from Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali's bloc were those who did not respect the rakyat’s mandate and traded their MP titles for positions.
