Umno Supreme Council today sacked Zaid Ibrahim from the party for attending opposition events. Umno president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi made the announcement at about 11.30pm after chairing the supreme council meeting at party headquarters in Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur. On another matter, Abdullah said that the council also discussed the situation involving Seberang Jaya state assemblyperson Arif Shah Omar Shah who was reportedly being allured by the PKR. Abdullah said that Arif Shah had met him and told him of his intention to remain in Umno. The supreme council also decided to suspend the Petaling Jaya Umno division chief Zahar Hashim for three years with immediate effect. Zahar had previously been involved in lodging an Anti-Corruption Agency report against Abdullah for abusing his position as the Umno president in the run-up to party polls and nominations.

Not too long ago, Muhiyiddin said Zaid was just a small guy. I guess Arif also another small guy. So is Zahar who's being 'punished' for making a report against Pak Lah. Ah, all the small guys better don't mess with the big guys in Supreme Council but then again, the big guys better not underestimate power of the small guys who form the base support of the party.
