Umno leader denies Ismail given ultimatum or faces sacking

PETALING JAYA: Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan has denied reports that party leaders have given Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob an ultimatum to fulfill several demands or he will be sacked as the vice-president.

This follows reports quoting sources that Ismail had been told to remove Attorney-General Idrus Harun and Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, seek a royal pardon for Najib Razak, and call for the 15th general election (GE15).

The Umno warlords reportedly made these demands at its political bureau meeting on Wednesday, which Ismail attended.

Ahmad maintained that the reports were not true and that these demands were never made against the prime minister.
