Tajuddin blocked from joining Umno meeting

PASIR SALAK - There was a bit of a chaotic moment during the Pasir Salak Umno representative meeting when Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was blocked from entering the Bandar Baru Felda Seberang Perak Hall here on Saturday.

Tajuddin, who is also former Pasir Salak Umno chief, arrived at around 9.50am, but he was stopped by security guards at the main gate.

It was understood that the former Supreme Council member was not allowed to enter as he was a suspended Umno member.

Tajuddin, when contacted said he was upset when he was stopped from joining the meeting.

He described the incident as "arrogant" and that it had never happened before.

"I love Umno and I have been loyal for 50 years.

"Arrogant.. a former chief was banned from entering. This never happened before and there was no reasons given for it," he said.
