Get ready to pay RM100mil ‘fine’, Akmal tells rogue Umno rep


PETALING JAYA: Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh claims Rembia assemblyman Jailani Khamis has to pay RM100 million to Umno for breaching an agreement he signed as a Barisan Nasional candidate for the 2021 Melaka state election.
Akmal, who is also the Merlimau assemblyman, said the agreements signed by all candidates included a clause that elected assemblymen would have to pay RM100 million to Umno if they were to defect to another party.
“Jailani may have forgotten that every BN candidate signed the agreement when we were fielded as candidates. My advice to him is this: get ready to pay the RM100 million and contest in a by-election,” he told FMT.
On Tuesday, PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan told a press conference Jailani had joined the Islamic party in June 2023. Jailani, who joined Umno from PKR, had been suspended from Umno some time last year.
Takiyuddin said Jailani did not need to vacate his seat as he joined PAS before Melaka’s anti-hopping laws were enacted in July 2023.
Akmal questioned PAS’s stand on party-hopping, pointing out that it was incensed when the Dewan Rakyat speaker refused to vacate the seats of six MPs who ceased to be Bersatu members, but was now accepting a “political frog”.
He also slammed Jailani for claiming to have played a crucial role in helping the party regain power in Melaka, and in winning the Merlimau seat in the 2021 state election.
“He needs to be more self-aware. I was elected thanks to the people of Merlimau and thanks to my party, not him.
“And during the state election, BN won 21 of the 28 seats up for grabs. We would still be able to form the state government if he wasn’t in the picture,” the Melaka executive councillor said.
