I was ‘removed’ as I tried to save my 'burning home': Annuar Musa

KUALA LUMPUR – Amid reports of his sacking from Umno, party veteran Tan Sri Annuar Musa has posted on Facebook what appears to be a metaphor for his removal.

The former Ketereh MP has not been taking calls to his number since news early this morning of his sacking, but took time to write down a dream he claimed to have had last night, of the house he inherited and lived in being on fire.

He wrote that his attempts to help put the fire out were halted when he was pulled out of the scene.

Annuar, who has served in Umno for decades, said while many other residents of the burning property fled to save themselves, he attempted to put out the fire because he loved the house and wanted to ensure the remaining occupants would be safe.

Bersatu opens door to Annuar after Umno axeing

KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu has opened its doors to former Ketereh MP Tan Sri Annuar Musa after he was sacked from Umno.

Umno during its Supreme Council meeting last night sacked Annuar for speaking against president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi during the recently concluded 15th general election (GE15).

Bersatu supreme council member Muhammad Faiz Na’aman in a Facebook post said Annuar’s efforts to promote “Alif Baa Taa” within Umno were fruitless and his contributions were not valued.

He said switching parties was not a new thing for politicians and invited Annuar to move to Perikatan National for the sake of “Alif Baa Taa’s” fight.
