Fulfil our demands or be sacked as Umno veep, party warlords warn PM

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob appears to be a prime minister under siege from his own party.

Umno warlords have given the prime minister what appears to be an ultimatum – fulfil four demands or face being sacked as the party’s vice-president.

This in turn would – some would hope – risk bringing his tenure to an abrupt end, making his time in office the shortest one so far.

At Wednesday’s political bureau meeting chaired by party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, four demands were made of Ismail Sabri – three of which centred around now-disgraced former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is serving his time in Kajang Prison following the Federal Court’s decision to uphold his conviction in the SRC International case.
