PETALING JAYA: It is an “open secret” that Umno will withdraw its support for PPBM and leave the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, Umno Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi said.
However, he said this would only be finalised at the party’s general assembly in March, which would discuss the issue of most of Umno’s 191 divisions saying they did not wish to cooperate with PPBM in the next general election (GE15).
“Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin should understand that the decision has already been made. It is just not official yet,” he said in an interview with The Malaysian Insight.
Puad said the party’s grassroots were not happy with PN as the government had appointed village chiefs that were unwilling to cooperate with Umno’s local leaders.
