Tajuddin episode could drive Umno to quit govt earlier, says source - superadmin - 05-29-2021 PETALING JAYA: Tajuddin Abdul Rahman’s sacking as Prasarana chairman and a probe by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission could make Umno retract its support for the Perikatan Nasional-led government earlier than August, says a party source. The source said Umno leaders were confident that the sacking and the MACC probe into alleged abuse of power by Tajuddin were part of Bersatu’s “political games” aimed at “taking revenge against senior Umno leaders”. He said the party is expected to decide on the right time to end its cooperation with Bersatu at the next Supreme Council meeting, which has not been fixed yet. Last month, Tajuddin told FMT that Umno would withdraw its support for the Muhyiddin Yassin-led government by August at the latest, even if Parliament is not dissolved by then to make way for GE15. - More -
