Division deputy chief is acting chief for Pekan Umno - Wan Rosdy

Pekan Umno division deputy chief Zamri Ramly will act as a caretaker of the division following the Federal Court’s decision to uphold the conviction, 12 years' jail and RM210 million fine for its chief, Najib Abdul Razak.

In a WhatsApp message to Bernama yesterday, Pahang Menteri Besar and state Umno liaison committee chairperson Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail (above) said the deputy chief would be the acting chief of the Pekan Umno division.

In a statement posted on his social media, Wan Rosdy said the Pekan parliamentary constituency would be looked after, managed and given due attention for the benefit of the people.

"Najib’s contributions to develop and advance Pahang and this country throughout his tenure as Malaysia’s prime minister and Pahang menteri besar were huge,” he said, adding that they appreciate all his efforts, hard work and contributions immensely.

Meanwhile, Pekan Umno committee member Ishak Muhammad said Zamri is expected to call a special meeting to discuss matters arising from the Federal Court’s decision.
