Faisal latest member given the boot in Umno purge

Putrajaya Umno division deputy chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz became the latest member axed by the party leadership, allegedly for violating Umno's code of ethics.

In a statement last night, Faisal, who is known to be aligned to sacked Umno leader Annuar Musa, said he received a letter of his dismissal from Umno headquarters via WhatsApp at about 4.30pm the same day.

It made him the 10th Umno member from the Putrajaya division that the party had given the boot over alleged disciplinary issues.

According to a copy of the letter posted by Faisal (above) on his Facebook, the party supreme council decided to sack him for violating five sub-sections under Article 20.9 of Umno constitution, which stipulates that every Umno member must:

  • oblige the party constitution and Umno's code of ethics

  • follow party instructions

  • carry out party policies

  • respect party decisions

  • protect the party's good name and dignity

The letter signed by Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan, however, did not mention specifically how Faisal had violated the provisions.

In his statement, Faisal said he would not appeal the party's decision, saying that there was no point to do so.

He alleged that the process employed by the Umno disciplinary body, supreme council and management committee in deciding punishment for members was "flawed and open to manipulation".

"There is no need for me to appeal this decision because I can already expect its outcome, especially when the supreme council and (party president Ahmad) Zahid (Hamidi) do not accept criticisms, especially those against Zahid," he said.

On Jan 27, Umno top leadership launched a purging operation against members who had allegedly sabotaged the party.

It saw former senior party leaders Khairy Jamaluddin and Noh Omar among those booted out, while others including former Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Hussein and incumbent deputy Umno Youth chief Shahril Hamdan Suffian suspended for six years. - Mkini
