Ali Rustam banned from Umno polls, Khairy allowed to contest

KUALA LUMPUR: The Umno disciplinary board has found Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam guilty of breaking party election rules.
The board's chairman Tengku Tan Sri Ahmad Rithauddeen Tengku Ismail said at the party headquarters here on Tuesday that Mohd Ali will now be banned from contesting the Umno deputy presidency.
He also said that incumbent Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaludin had also been found guilty of breaking election rules. Khairy, will however, be allowed to contest the wing's top post.
Former Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo, meanwhile, has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Talk had been rife over the past few days that Mohd Ali, 59, who was said to be doing well in the contest for the Umno No. 2 post, was being investigated by the board.
The speculation raised the political temperature as the party election campaign entered its final lap, with just days left before more than 2,000 delegates chose the new party line-up.
The Umno general assembly will begin at the PWTC here on Tuesday.
The Umno deputy presidency will now be a two-man contest - between Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib.

Khairy Jamaluddin juga didapati bersalah tetapi hanya diberikan amaran.
Double Standard!

khir toyo , lagi banyak buang duit untuk kempen, tak salah langsung?

memang pilih kasih lembaga disiplin.

Lembaga Disiplin juga rendah moralnya kerana masih berkompromi dan memberi ruang memaafkan dan memberi amaran kepada yang bersalah.

Ketika isu politik wang begitu sensitif dan perlu dihapuskan samasekali dalam UMNO, Lembaga Disiplin masih terikat dengan 'tangan ghaib' dan berlembut.

Perubahan pada UMNO, amat sedikit dan masih jelik.

Politik wang === RASUAH.

Kalau seseorang melakukan RASUAH, adakah dia layak jadi Ketua Menteri atau apa jua jawatan awam ?

Yg hairan,
