00:00UMNO leaders have hit back at Puat Zarkashi after he criticised the party following his resignation.
00:07UMNO Youth Chief Dr. Akhmar Saleh rejected Puat's claim that Johor UMNO had sidelined young leaders,
00:14saying 13 candidates in the July 11th Johor election are below 40.
00:19Akhmar said Puat himself was already in his 60s when the party sealed him previously.
00:24He also alleged that Puat was unhappy because his son was not chosen as the candidate for Ringgit.
00:31UMNO Secretary General Ashraf Wajdi Dusuki earlier claimed Puat had threatened to quit and attack the party if his son
00:39was not selected.
00:40UMNO Information Chief Azalina Othman Sa'ed reminded members that loyalty and discipline are tested when they are not chosen
00:48as candidates.
00:48Puat said he resigned because Johor UMNO lacked autonomy in decision-making, including over the dissolution of the State Assembly.
00:57Johor UMNO Chief Orn Hafiz Ghazi said the dissolution followed constitutional procedures.
