Take a stand, PAS tells sacked, suspended Umno leaders

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has urged sacked and suspended Umno leaders to stand up and fight for the good of the country instead of playing it safe by keeping a low profile.

Speaking to FMT, he described them as political veterans whom Perikatan Nasional (PN) recognised as influential.

He fell short of exhorting them to join one of the parties in PN, but said: “We need the strength to unite for the future of the country. Take a stand. Don’t wait to be kicked out.”

Among the prominent Umno leaders who have been sacked for breaching party discipline are former Ketereh MP Annuar Musa, former Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, former Perlis chief Shahidan Kassin and former Selangor chief Noh Omar.
