Puchong Umno has terminated the division’s cooperation with Puchong Harapan, citing DAP’s Puchong MP Yeo Bee Yin’s failure to apologise and retract her remarks against former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Puchong Umno secretary Yusof Yassin said the division’s move was made after a 24-hour deadline given to Yeo (above) during a year-end “celebration” hosted by Selangor Umno Youth at her service centre.
“This decision represents a firm political stance by Puchong Umno in the Puchong parliament seat, Seri Serdang state seat, and Seri Kembangan state seat levels to no longer cooperate with Puchong Harapan.
“As a form of protest and an effort to uphold party principles and dignity, without affecting national-level cooperation unless directed by the Umno or BN central leadership,” said Yusof in a statement yesterday.
Malaysiakini has reached out to Yeo for comments.
Cause for celebration
On Monday, a Selangor Umno Youth delegation led by state youth chief Imran Tamrin targeted Yeo’s comments describing Najib’s bid for house arrest hitting a legal brick wall as a cause for celebration.

Puchong Umno Youth chief Khairul Azmil Bashir Mohamed, who submitted a memorandum received by one of Yeo’s officers, said failure to apologise would see his wing cut ties with its Puchong DAP counterpart.
Yusof said the termination of cooperation with Puchong Harapan means that Puchong Umno will no longer hold joint meetings, coordinate or organise any joint programmes, or cooperate in any election-related activities.
He said Puchong Umno will also no longer be bound by any agreement with Puchong Harapan and is free to take its own stand on all local issues.
“This decision does not mean Umno is leaving the unity government at the national or state level.
“It represents a local political stance, as long as it does not contradict decisions of the Umno supreme council or the BN leadership at the central level,” he said.
Yusof added that the Puchong Umno division, led by former Seri Serdang assemblyperson Satim Diman, is also unlikely to support any Harapan candidate for the Puchong parliamentary seat.
