Law was breached if exemption had to be granted for Umno's no-contest decision, says KJ


PETALING JAYA: There appears to be some breach of the Societies Act 1966 if the Home Ministry had to give an exemption to Umno's no-contest resolution for the president and deputy president posts, says Khairy Jamaluddin (pic).

In reference to the statement by Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail on Tuesday (March 7), Khairy said it was unclear what was actually breached.
