The Supreme Council members said Najib had too voiced their concerns, that if an issue has been raised, they too should play a proactive role and be given ample room or opportunities in addressing the issue in the best possible manner.
Najib in a statement today refuted allegations made by former Information Ministry, Tan Sri Zainuddin Maidin in his blog stating that the UMNO President has failed to clinch the support from his party.
Zainuddin in his blog claimed that Najib will be informed in the most sincere and ethical manner about the declining support he would faced at the UMNO Supreme Council meeting today.
Apart from that, speculations were rife about the ties between Najib and Muhyiddin had turned sour following a series of national issues involving the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Muhyiddin’s statement about the crisis-plagued 1MDB urging the issue to be addressed accordingly, had clearly stated that he was not in favour of UMNO’s alleged involvement in the matter, said some pundits who were not in Najib’s camp.
