An Umno Wanita member who filed a suit against the ruling party president Datuk Seri Najib Razak and party executive secretary Datuk Ab Rauf Yusoh says she has the support of other Umno members.
Langkawi Umno Wanita leader Anina Saaduddin who filed a suit against Najib to account for the chronology of events involving the RM2.6 billion channelled into his personal bank accounts said she was doing it for party members.
Anina who created a stir when she attacked Najib at her Langkawi Wanita division meeting earlier this month said she was disappointed that Najib had not heeded her grievances against him.
"It is unfortunate that Datuk Seri Najib disregarded my criticism of him.
"As such, I have also lodged a complaint with the Umno disciplinary board to summon him to explain the matter of the RM2.6 billion in his personal account," she told reporters at the Jalan Duta High Court lobby today.
"I believe he has committed breach of trust and gone against the party constitution by accepting and spending the RM2.6 billion," she added.
Anina also expressed concern that despite the fact that Najib had tainted Umno's image, interested persons in the party would not take action against him given his powerful position as president and prime minister.
She said it was this and her loyalty to Umno that had prompted her to file the suit against her party chief.
"I am doing this because I love Umno, and I believe all party members love Umno.
"I feel this is my responsibility in the interest of the three million Umno members.
"As such, I appeal to Datuk Seri Najib Razak as president of the party to be honest and fair to party members," she added.
When told that an Umno lawyer had said she could be expelled for initiating the action, Anina said she was "not afraid".
Anina's outburst at the Langkawi division annual general meeting was caught on video and went viral.
In the video, Anina was recorded saying Najib had "lied" to Umno members by claiming all of them supported him. – August 28, 2015.
