So everyone’s talking about the Umno smartphone; here’s the story of its maker

BY KAMLES KUMAR

 

It’s called the Umno smartphone because it has been customised to show the Umno logo on its boot screen, lock screen and home screen. It also has a back cover with the party logo imprinted.

…

…Abdul Rahim said the phone is not exclusive to Umno. His company simply took advantage of their customisable platform to create a special phone for the country’s largest political party at its annual assembly in an enterprising effort to boost its sales.

“It is Umno’s convention, so I do (sic) it for Umno. If tomorrow is PAS’ convention, I will do it for PAS also.

“I’m not a politician. I am a businessman, so I take the opportunity when I can,” he said when met at his booth located on level three of the Putra World Trade Centre, where the Umno assembly is taking place.

Muhyiddin ‘not a cheat’ booklet handed out to delegates

The 28-page booklet, titled “I’m not a cheat, dare to be truthful” (Aku bukan petualang, berani kerana benar), was given out at a few entrance points from about 8am today.

It recounts why Muhyiddin was sacked as deputy prime minister and his quest to find the truth about the Finance Ministry-owned investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

The booklet was printed after Muhyiddin and a few 1MDB critics from within the party have been denied an official platform to speak to members on issues.

The booklet listed Muhyiddin’s services in Umno, with details of his background as a party leader as well as his sacking from the Cabinet in July.

Muhyiddin is still party deputy president. The long-time Umno member was also a former Johor menteri besar.

How can they do this, Ku Nan says of Muhyiddin booklet

Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, better known as Ku Nan, is puzzled over the distribution of a booklet defending estranged party deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the general assembly today as it is against the rules.

“I don’t know how it is being distributed. I mean, we have a system. How can they simply do this?” Tengku Adnan said.

The booklet is being distributed to Umno members at various entry points to the Putra World Trade Centre, where the assembly is in its last day today.
…

The booklet said there was a movement supporting him, and that the grassroots did not agree with the party’s move to stop him from officiating division meetings.
