‘No truth 14 Umno MPs withdraw support’

JELEBU MP Jalaluddin Alias has dismissed claims that 14 Umno MPs have withdrawn support for the government, calling the allegations circulating on social media baseless.

He said any suggestion of Umno lawmakers defecting was entirely false, stressing that all party MPs were bound by an agreement and a RM100 million bond.

“That’s completely untrue. I haven’t heard anything about it,” he was reported to have said by Utusan Malaysia.

The national daily also reported Jalaluddin as saying that Umno amended its constitution on January 13, 2023 to prevent its MPs from acting against party decisions, including forming alliances to support a prime ministerial candidate.

“This includes signing agreements to form coalitions with rival parties, which goes against Umno’s stance,” he said after presenting welfare aid at the Jelebu Umno Complex on Saturday.

Jalaluddin, who is also the Negeri Sembilan Umno chief, reiterated that such claims on social media were unfounded, adding that speculation over the alleged defection of 14 MPs had been repeatedly raised by certain quarters.

 

‘Mana ada 14 Ahli Parlimen UMNO tarik diri?’

“TAK betul dan tak benar, saya pun tidak dengar apa-apa mengenai dakwaan itu,” kata Ahli Parlimen Jelebu Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias mengenai dakwaan 14 Ahli Parlimen UMNO menarik sokongan kepada Kerajaan MADANI seperti tersebar di media sosial.

Jalaluddin berkata di Negeri Sembilan contohnya, semua lima Ahli Parlimen kekal setia bersama UMNO dan tidak ada yang berpaling tadah.

Justeru itu tegasnya provokasi dan penyebaran kononnya 14 Ahli Parlimen dari UMNO berpaling tadah adalah tidak benar.

Jalaluddin yang juga Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO Negeri Sembilan menegaskan ahli UMNO juga terikat dengan perjanjian dan akujanji bahawa mereka terikat dengan bon RM100 juta.

“Perlembagaan UMNO sudah dipinda pada 13 Januari 2023 bagi menghalang Ahli Parlimen parti bertindak membelakangi apa juga keputusan termasuk menyertai pakatan politik untuk menyokong seseorang sebagai Perdana Menteri.

“Ini termasuklah menandatangani perjanjian untuk membentuk pakatan dengan parti lawan sekali gus bertentangan dengan pendirian parti,” katanya selepas menyampaikan sumbangan Bantuan Fokus Kesejahteraan Rakyat (BFkR) Parlimen Jelebu di Kompleks UMNO Jelebu di sini, Sabtu lalu.
