Why is it wrong to question a leader, asks pro-Muhyiddin rally



When has questioning a leader considered an offence, asked an Umno leader at a thousand strong gathering in Pagoh today in solidarity with embattled party deputy Muhyiddin Yassin.
Umno Pagoh branch leader Samad Ariffin asked what sin Muhyiddin had committed that the party Number 2 is not being allowed to officiate the party wings' annual general meetings this year.
Samad added he has heard that even the winding up speeches by the party leaders would also be scrapped and deferred until next year.
"We are gathered here and not being paid to voice support for Muhyiddin, come what may," he said.
"We know the risks we face, where the party headquarters may record our names to be reported to the party leadership.
"But we stand united with Muhyiddin as we know he is on the right path," said Samad, who represents 106 Umno branches.
The gathering today saw leaders from MCA, MIC and Gerakan division leaders from Pagoh join their Umno counterparts.
In all, some 1,000 BN leaders gathered at the hall in Pagoh to voice their support.
Also present were three of the Teluk Kemang branch leaders who had called for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to resign.
During the rally Muhyiddin received a memorandum of support from the 106 branches from the division, as well as from Umno veterans and army veteran from the division.
