Sacking decision a hot topic of debate

PETALING JAYA: As the shock from the decision against Umno members continues to ripple within the party and outside, the dispute over how the action against them was implemented continues to be debated.

While the party’s information chief Datuk Isham Jalil said Umno’s constitution allowed the supreme council to decide on the sacking or suspension of members, former prime minister and Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob insisted that the decision did not follow the principle of natural justice.
