The party's Penang state secretary Musa Sheikh Fadzir said Saturday he had received a copy of the letter from Umno headquarters, which decided to sack Khairuddin, who had lodged two police reports against 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
“His sacking is in accordance with the Umno Constitution and Umno Conference Regulations.
“It is also in accordance with the Section 9A(1)(d) of the Societies Act 1966, which states that an undischarged bankrupt cannot hold positions in an organisation.
“Khairuddin was declared bankrupt by the court on May 24 last year (2014), and a report on his bankruptcy was sent to the Umno headquarters,” Musa said in a statement.
Musa, however, added that Khairuddin was still an Umno member and was eligible to attend the annual party branch conference where he was registered as a party member.Khairuddin who is also Anwar Ibrahim's cousin has been among 1MDB's biggest critics since he first lodged the first police report against it in December last year, and another in January.
Let's wait for his comment when he returns from 'umrah' in two weeks time.
