Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa says perhaps the MPs who left the party did so because of stress. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Hasnoor Hussain, September 20, 2018.

MUSTAPA Mohamed did not quit Umno because of its collaboration with PAS, party secretary-general Annuar Musa said today.

But he said the Jeli MP was recently investigated along with others over funds the state chapter received before the 14th general election.

“I know Tok Pa (Mustapa) didn’t leave because Umno worked with PAS. The issue wasn’t that,” Annuar told a press briefing at the Umno headquarters today.

Mustapa, who is the Jeli MP, and two other party leaders are under investigation for receiving a substantial amount of funds together prior to the elections.

When asked if this was the reason Mustapa resigned, Annuar said he didn’t know.

“Many others were investigated but they didn’t quit,” said the Ketereh MP.

“Maybe they can’t handle the stress,” he added.

The Malaysian Insight is contacting Mustapa to respond to Annuar’s claims about the investigation.

Umno was rocked this week when two of its former ministers and current lawmakers Mustapa and Anifah Aman, resigned.

Mustapa said he has lost faith in the party’s ability to rejuvenate itself after announcing plans to partner PAS while Anifah quit because he could not honour his promises to Sabah.

Mustapa, who was recently elected to Umno’s Supreme Council, declined to be appointed as the Umno Kelantan liaison chief.

The resignations come just days after Umno president Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi made history by attending the PAS annual congress in Kuala Terengganu on Saturday.

The 72-year-old Umno will also hold its annual congress on September 29-30. – September 20, 2018.

  • Annuar you really have bad blood against your Kelantanese friend perhaps because he was elected as Kelantan party chief and not you but than again if we were to put the two of you up front together who do you think the RAKYAT would trust. It goes without saying it goes to Tok Pa aka Mr Clean hands down. You are a real bastard to say such a statement and its this kind of manner that most people detest dumno. Why can't you donkeys accept the fact what Tok Pa said, he has lost faith in the party direction,

  • Anuar nang boti nang kui boti kui !!!!! Whether your claim is the sole reason as what you want others to perceive does not matter. Mustapa Mohamed will reslove it himself. BUT we sure do know very well that he quit with the obvious reasons --- that Umno are no more a party that abide by their principles and has gone against the basic fundamentals set up by the founding fathers. So what are you trying to imply.???? You are already a detested retard and infact rakyat are waiting to see you go to the slammers where you shall join your old master. Like it or not you are going there soon. You asked for it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
