Ismail Sabri: Set aside differences

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno supporters in Pelangai were urged to put aside their disagreements and rally behind the party in the by-election, said senior leader Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. This is after reports emerged that some grassroots members were upset over Umno’s choice to field its Bentong division committee member Datuk Amizar Abu Adam in the Oct 7 polls.

“It’s important that all Umno members support our Pelangai by-election candidate because if he loses it will further tarnish the party’s image,” said Ismail Sabri, a former prime minister and vice-president in Umno who is based in Pahang.
