Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam hit out at the PKR opposition party for politicising the issue of him being barred to contest in the coming Umno polls.
He said the action taken by Umno’s Disciplinary Board was not in relation to his involvement in money polittics but for infringing party ethics through the action of a third party who was considered an agent.
“They are just trying to exploit the issue by calling for me to vacate my seat as Chief Minister and for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission to investigate me,” he told reporters here Friday.
He described the move by the Opposition as inappropriate.
“If that is the case, then Lim Guan Eng and Anwar Ibrahim should step down from their posts as they themselves had been convicted and imprisoned previously,” he added.
He was responding to two reports lodged against him by PKR with MACC here on Wednesday.
