Tajuddin hopes for 'amicable' solution to suspension of membership

Former Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman says he has no intention of representing another party in the upcoming state elections.

On the other hand, if his suspension as an Umno member is retracted, the former Umno Supreme Council member said he wanted to help the party machinery in the polls.

"If I am no longer suspended by Umno, of course I will campaign, help work for the party.  If possible, I don’t want to be with other parties," he told the media at his Raya open house in Pasir Salak yesterday.

Tajuddin was earlier reported to have submitted an appeal against his six-year suspension to enable him to be active in the party again.

On May 6, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi reportedly said the appeal would be referred to the Supreme Council.

Tajuddin voiced hope that his appeal would considered by the Supreme Council soon, adding that he loves the party and wants to settle the issue amicably.

"I am confident that if it is brought to the council, the decision will be positive because I have explained in a letter twice before this and once again yesterday.

"The only mistake I made was being too vocal on party issues," he said.

However, Tajuddin said he was prepared to face any possibility and would not give up in the political struggle and try to be active on social media platforms.
