PUTRAJAYA: Several Umno leaders and division heads are believed to be meeting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at Seri Perdana.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan had said that no pressure was placed on the division chiefs to propose that the Prime Minister dissolve Parliament. The gathering was said to be in relation to a pertinent issue regarding the party’s future, which was indicated in a WhatsApp message that was circulated. ALSO READ:

Many division heads were opposed to it because it is an abuse of power and will affect Umno if it is seen intervening in court cases,” the source told Astro Awani. In the meeting, we were asked to urge the PM to intervene in the court case but many disagreed. “We (the Umno division heads) got the invitation to attend this emergency meeting last night and in the morning only 54 people came.

Umno's top five leaders are expected to meet with Prime Minister and Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri Yaakob at his official residence in Putrajaya tonight.

Malaysian PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob (right) did not attend a meeting in Kuala Lumpur called by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Monday.

However, Zahid was not present at the meeting. The meeting was supposed to resume at 5.30pm, but reports in the evening indicated that top Umno leaders – including Zahid and Najib – were instead making an attempt to meet Mr Ismail in the administrative capital Putrajaya. The 11am meeting was adjourned at around 1.30pm to enable Zahid to return to court to face his own graft trial. Najib said on Sunday that he was feeling “alone” and “betrayed”, and last week admitted that he was “desperate” to change his legal strategy at the prospect of his conviction being upheld. Local media had reported, citing sources, that there was a proposal at Monday’s meeting for Umno leaders to ask Mr Ismail to intervene in Najib’s court case and request an adjournment. But if Najib’s lawyers opt not to present fresh arguments at court – as they had indicated last week – the Federal Court could rule on his appeal as early as Tuesday.
