[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Zaharin Mohd Yasin has been sacked from Umno. Party secretary-general Ahmad Maslan said Zaharin’s membership was terminated with immediate effect for violating the party’s ethics.

Ahmad did not go into details.

However Zaharin, a former secretary of Bandar Tun Razak Umno, is known to be very critical of party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on social media.

In an immediate response Zaharin played down his sacking in a short Facebook post.

“I am 70. (I have been) sacked. I’m not affected. I am free.”
