I was assaulted, says Umno Youth leader
KOTA TINGGI, June 20:(NST)
An Umno Youth branch chief has lodged a police report after he was assaulted by two party youth members following his election here today.
Zamri Munir, who sustained a black eye and bruises on his cheek, was set upon soon after the results of the Umno Sri Jaya branch election were announced.
The branch is part of the Tenggara Umno division, which is headed by Datuk Halimah Sadique, who is also Johor Wanita chief and a member of the State Executive Council.
Zamri had earlier defeated Rosli Hussin to head the branch Youth wing. His assailants were apparently unhappy at the defeat of Rosli, who was the branch’s previous deputy Youth chief.
The attack took place just as Zamri was leaving the community hall in Kampung Seri Jaya in Jalan Kulai here for refreshments at 5.40pm today.
A police car with several police personnel rushed to the scene to quell further disturbances. Zamri lodged the police report at 6.20pm
This was the second case of violence at an Umno branch meeting in Johor. Two weeks ago, disgruntled members also resorted to throwing chairs during the Parit Benting branch election in Bakri, Muar.
Should have sent all this party members to National Service and learn "What democracy is all about". No wonder this particular party cannot face real democratic process...huru-hara..
