PETALING JAYA: With speculation that the Umno supreme council will meet today, the main question being asked is whether party leaders will push for Umno to exit the Perikatan Nasional government despite the earlier failed attempts.
Sources said there was a possibility that the planned supreme council meeting might be called off after last night’s meeting between Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and representatives of the party’s MPs who insisted on remaining with the government for the time being.
Ahmad Zahid appears to be the main force pushing for Umno’s exit from Perikatan since the Umno general assembly in March.

JOHOR BARU: Umno ministers should fight for Parliament to reconvene instead of pushing for party elections, which are expected to be postponed because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Johor Baru Umno division chief Tan Sri Shahrir Samad questioned how the party was expected to hold an election involving 150,000 delegates during the pandemic.
“They as ministers find it difficult to reconvene Parliament involving 222 MPs yet they want the party to hold its election involving 150,000 Umno members casting their votes.
“When it comes to reconvening Parliament, where the MPs have already been fully vaccinated, these ministers keep on shifting the goalposts,” he said after presenting petrol and food vouchers to taxi and e-hailing drivers here on Sunday (June 27).
