KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 — The appointment of Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan as Barisan Nasional (BN) secretary-general was disputed by its component parties MCA and MIC.

Sources familiar with a BN meeting that took place on Thursday told Malay Mail that both component parties had opposed Ahmad’s appointment in January as they were not consulted on the matter prior to the announcement.

“Both MCA and MIC want Umno to discuss with them before such decisions are made,” said the source without elaborating further.

On January 5, Ahmad confirmed that he had replaced Tan Sri Annuar Musa as BN’s secretary-general.

Ahmad, who is also the Umno secretary-general, said the appointment does not mean that Annuar had been sacked, but clarified that he merely replaced the latter.
