Johor UMNO on Monday urged the people against believing rumours that several more assemblyman from the party will leave to join the opposition.
State UMNO Liaison Secretary Datuk Md Jais Sarday said that based on a review carried out by him, there was no longer such a claim.
"We have reviewed, in fact we have also met with some of them (who were claimed to be defecting) and it was found that there was no such defection.
"So, this is more a provocative statement from them (opposition) who want to confuse the people's mind," he told reporters after the launching of the Sixth Edition of the Under-21 International Hockey Championship for the Sultan of Johor Cup, here.
Md Jais, who is also Chairman of the State Education, Information, Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development Committee, said this when commenting on the opposition's claim today that at least two more UMNO assemblymen were purportedly leaving the party.
On Oct 12, Johor PKR deputy chairman Jimmy Puah was reported as saying that two more elected representatives were expected to leave the party and they were said to be 'friendly' with Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin who is now leading Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia. -- Bernama
