(Bernama) - Umno needs to take action on Gua Musang Member of Parliament (MP) Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah for working together with opposition parties on the Kelantan oil royalty issue, said Umno Supreme Council member Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi.
Mohd Puad, who is also Deputy Education Minister and Batu Pahat Umno Division Chief said, special treatment is not warranted although Tengku Razaleigh had been a prominent member of Umno.
“Umno needs to take action on Tengku Razaleigh. He should not be given any special treatment,” he told Bernama here today.
Mohd Puad was commenting on the Gua Musang MP’s involvement in a series of ceramah organised by the opposition on the oil royalty issue in Kelantan.
In its weekly meeting, the Umno Supreme Council let its members decide on the form of action to be taken on Tengku Razaleigh.
According to Mohd Puad, Tengku Razaleigh’s action was intentional so that Umno would be forced to take action on him and turn him into a hero.
“His purpose (for taking part in the opposition ceramah series) was to challenge the party (Umno) to take action on him so he could be a hero,” he said.
Mohd Puad said Tengku Razaleigh’s stand on the Kelantan oil royalty issue was inconsistent and differed from when he had held the post of Finance Minister in the past.
On Tengku Razaleigh’s plan to carry out ceramah series on the issue, he said the party should not feel worried as the Gua Musang MP had little influence and mostly depended on the opposition.
