Isham Jalil no longer an Umno member, says Ahmad Maslan

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 — Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan today confirmed that the party has terminated the membership of Isham Jalil.

Rumours of Isham’s sacking started last night when the latter defied a call from party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to attend the Umno supreme council meeting here and explain his criticism about the top echelon’s decision to work with old political foe DAP, as a part of the coalition government led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“Membership terminated,” Ahmad told Malay Mail in a terse message when contacted if Isham was sacked as a member of the Umno supreme council or from the party.
