KUALA LUMPUR: Umno vice-president Hishammuddin Tun Hussein today described as a sign of disrespect the absence of four assemblymen at yesterday's Setiu Umno division delegates meeting in Terengganu opened by Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. They should have attended the meeting even if there were internal problems, he told reporters after opening the Seputeh Umno division delegates meeting, here.
Muhyiddin had expressed disappointment over the absence of the assemblymen -- Ramlan Ali (Jabi), Abd Halim Jusoh (Permaisuri), Asha'ari Idris (Langkap) and Khazan Che Mat (Batu Rakit) -- at the meeting.
"This is not our way of doing things. We should respect the person opening the meeting, more so when it is (Umno deputy president) Muhyiddin Yassin. The division is more important than us," Hishammuddin said when asked to the comment on the absence of the assemblymen.
Hishammuddin, who is chairman of the Terengganu Umno liaison committee, said the four assemblymen would be advised accordingly.
"We will make them understand that the positions they hold came with the support of the people. Whatever their excuse, their absence has tarnished the image of Setiu Umno itself," he said.
