00:00An UMNO leader has challenged DAP to disclose the names of its members, holding positions in federal and state government
00:08-linked companies, after an alleged offer was made to Skudai Assemblyman Marina Ibrahim to head a GLC.
00:16UMNO Supreme Council Member Puat Zarkashi said it is shocking to learn that DAP is allegedly using positions in GLCs
00:25as political bargaining chips.
00:26In a Facebook post, the Rengit Assemblyman said DAP has often criticised other parties for making political appointments to GLCs,
00:37arguing that such practices are unethical, unprofessional, and contrary to reformist principles.
00:44Yesterday, a letter making the rounds on social media suggested that Johor DAP had planned to move Marina to contest
00:52an UMNO stronghold, the Thiram State seat, at the next Johor polls.
00:58The offer was made during a discussion between Johor DAP Chief Tio Nhi Ching and Marina on May 17, according
01:06to the letter, which was addressed to Tio from the Skudai Assemblyman.
01:11Tio also said she had intended to propose that Marina be made the chairman of a statutory body, regardless of
01:18the outcome of the election.
