PUTRAJAYA: Several Umno leaders and division heads are believed to be meeting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at Seri Perdana.
The meeting is said to be ongoing as at 7.30pm on Monday (Aug 22), but it is not known what is on the agenda.
It is also learnt that party president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is not present at the meeting.
Earlier on Monday, Umno leaders had gathered at the party’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur for a special closed-door meeting.
The gathering was said to be in relation to a pertinent issue regarding the party’s future, which was indicated in a WhatsApp message that was circulated.
Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan had said that no pressure was placed on the division chiefs to propose that the Prime Minister dissolve Parliament.
He said this in response to a message that went viral on social media alleging this development and linking it to Ahmad Zahid.
“The message is fake,” Ahmad said.
The message claimed that all division chiefs were told by Ahmad Zahid to make the proposal to Ismail Sabri.
It also claimed that if the premier refused, he would be sacked from the party by the Umno supreme council.

You have to read between the line. UMNO today telling everybody they do mesyuarat tergempar to force PM campur tanggan in Najib court case. But it is reported unsuccessful. Why they publish news like that. Aiyo to solidify PM position. Now people cannot say UMNO and PM have influence in Najib case. PM is UMNO war general. UMNO solidify his position now. Zahid need not to do anything because after all his holding the key of who going to be UMNO candidate. Without Zahid signature you cannot become UMNO candidate. That is the power zahid hold. And this PH attacking Zahid for what ? PH attacking Zahid thinking that zahid is going to be UMNO general. But the real election General is Ismail and his report card is very good so far. Non of PH people dare to attack him. That is why UMNO now just let PH have their happy day until they realize that they actually attacking the wrong tiger. They suppose to attack Ismail and not Zahid. PH really need Mahathir help la. Mahathir all the way attack Najib with najib down, UMNO also lost Putrajaya.

Izoklse! Yeah, i agree with your analysis! PM Sabri vs Zahid! Indeed Zahid holding everybody hostage with his president position! But PM Sabri knows if he let go, then he is finished!
So why let go now! Just play along until Zahid court trial is over! Once convicted, Zahid will be forced to resign as Umno president! And it's only like few weeks to go before Zahid final verdict is out!
2022-08-22 23:46
So PM Sabri has everything to lose and Zahid has nothing lose! May as well play piggy letting the tiger shout and scream! Anyway, the special meeting held by Zahid was a failure! Majority reject his call for political intervention of Najib ongoing appeal! Once Najib out of the way, Zahid will be all alone!
Even Tok Mat will not dare to support Zahid once Najib goes to jail!

Tobby that meeting is actually design to fail. You understand or not. UMNO know from get go that the meeting wont success for the intervention of Najib case because they know grass root leaders will not support that. So why they have that meeting in the first place ? Because they want to solidify UMNO and ismail so that PH will not have opportunity to attack umno by saying UMNO or PM intervene in Najib case. After all Ismail is UMNO general. They have to protect this general. You have to read between the line.

You see this afternoon Ismail is not in UMNO HQ as he meeting Mahathir. While tonight Top 5 UMNO meet at Ismail house accept Zahid. What you can read from that ? Ismail want life from Mahathir to still continue become PM. While zahid and his people already prepared to withdraw support against the PM. The rest UMNO top 5 trying figure out what is the best option, To be honest why give PH life support when you know that you can destroy them now. That is why rapizi throwing everything at UMNO to put UMNO in defense mode. He know PH will die without lie to the people. And they will continue lie to the people until people believe it. Chinese will swallow that and they are hoping for new voters which easily manipulated. That is why if UMNO need to act. They need to act now.

Izoklse! Umno lost it's relevance already! Maybe for the older generation of malays, they continue to vote for Umno but the younger ones will not!
BN already dead! Non malays won't vote for BN! So basically Umno is on it's very last leg!
2022-08-23 00:53
Anyway, post GE15, we will see another round of all malay administration! Local chinese will not be in corridor of power! Dap and amanah will always be outside Putrajaya for the longest time!
What you see now is just jostling for voters! But post GE15, the outcome is predictable!
I am sorry to local chinese if you disagree with this reality! But the thing is, malays have become more conservative nowadays! And they do understand that no matter what, end of the day, malay politicians will be forced to form another all malay administration!
My prediction is, it will be alliance of PKR, Umno, GRS and GPS!

Then Tobby tell me why UMNO win all saluran Muda in Melaka & Johor state election ? To the surprise to UMNO also they manage to capture 60 - 70 percent first time voters vote. I also surprise. Well let us see in the real GE15.
2022-08-23 01:00
they way i see it. PM needs najib & zahid to go jail to strengthen his own position. najib & zahid are threats to his premiership. if najib & zahid freed, ismail wont be PM anymore, as the position will go to others higher up in umno ranks.
2022-08-23 07:49
ismail have the support of all opposition and maybe sultan... that is why he is still in power GOGO end the most corrupted era
2022-08-23 14:47
Izoklse! The recent winning of Melaka and Johor by election should not be yardstick for GE15! Those are more of revenge vote against the very disappointing Harapan short span in Putrajaya!

PM Sabri has recoup his reputation with few positive development! Especially with latest 2nd GDP which is really good! So for Zahid to make full fortal attack now will be suicidal for Umno!
