More Umno branches seek advice on EGMs

MUAR: More branch leaders from Muar and Bakri Umno divisions have sought the views of Datuk Kadar Shah, son of former Umno permanent chairman Tun Sulaiman Ninam Shah, on holding extraordinary general meetings.
Kadar Shah told them the divisions had to hold the EGM if more than two-thirds of the branches voted for it.
Whatever the branches decide should be based on the party constitution and the EGM be conducted according to party rules and regulations, he told the 60 branch leaders yesterday.
Last week, about 80 leaders sought Kadar Shah’s view on the EGM, saying they had lost confidence in the leadership.
They were disappointed when division chairman Datuk Mohd Ismail Mohd Shah lost the Maharani state seat in the recent general election.
Barisan Nasional candidates also lost the Bakri parliament seat and the Bentayan and Sungai Abong state seats in the general election.
The leaders said it was time for Umno to be revamped.
