Umno supreme council to discuss by-election, Zaid

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 2 — The Umno supreme council meeting tonight is expected to discuss several matters including the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election and action on former minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

Umno information chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib said the meeting, to be chaired by Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, would likely discuss preparations for the by-election for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary seat although the Election Commission has yet to fix a date for the by-election.

The seat fell vacant following the death of Deputy Education Minister Datuk Razali Ismail, 59, while playing badminton in Genting Highlands last Friday.

Muhammad said the meeting was also expected to discuss action to be taken on Zaid for attending the recent Parti Keadilan Rakyat Congress. — Bernama
