                 BUKIT MERTAJAM, Fri. - The Permatang Pauh Umno division
has yet to decide
                 on the kind of disciplinary action it will take against
most of its 50 members
                 who betrayed the party in the last general election,
its secretary Shalahudeen
                 Abdul Hamid said today.

                 "We are still undecided on the action to be taken
against the errant members,"
                 he said.

                 "However, we are confident they will be dealt with
accordingly."

                 Shalahudeen said the list of errant division members
included its former
                 permanent chairman Abdul Rahman Kadir, who is now State
Assemblyman for
                 Penanti, and Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

                 Abdul Rahman had contested under the Parti Keadilan
Nasional banner in the
                 last general election and so did Dr Wan Azizah, who won
the Permatang Pauh
                 Parliamentary constituency. The latter is also
president of Parti Keadilan
                 Nasional.

                 Other errant members whose names were submitted to the
Umno supreme
                 council included chairmen of several of the division's
branches, its Wanita and
                 Youth wings' chairmen and several division committee
members.

                 Shalahudeen said the offences committed by the errant
members included
                 contesting against Barisan Nasional candidates and
supporting Opposition
                 candidates.

                 "Although we are confident that Abdul Rahman and Dr Wan
Azizah have been
                 sacked from Umno, we are still unsure if disciplinary
action has been taken
                 against the remaining errant members."

                 "Permatang Pauh Umno division is now stable and getting
stronger," he added.

                 "We are committed to Umno and support for the
Opposition in our area has
                 waned."

                 On the recently concluded Umno branch meeting,
Shalahudeen said only four of
                 its 89 branches failed to hold their meetings.

                 This was because of lack of quorum due to failure by
most of the branch
                 members to pay their annual subscription fees on time.
The branches are Titi
                 Timbul, Permatang Tengah Baru, Taman Bunga Raya and
Permatang Janggus.

                 He said the division would also send 100 members to
lend support to Barisan
                 Nasional candidate Redzwan Harun in the Sanggang
by-election on April 1.

                 Meanwhile, the division's Youth and Wanita wings will
hold their meetings this
                 Sunday.

                 The Wanita wing will hold its meeting at the division's
Rumah Bahagian at 9am
                 while the Youth wing will hold its meeting at Pearl
View Hotel at 2pm.

                 The division will hold its delegates' conference, also
at the Rumah Bahagian, at
                 9am on March 26.

                 All the meetings will be opened by its acting chairman
Datuk Ahmad Saad.
