KUALA LUMPUR: More Umno members of parliament had announced their departure from the party.
They are Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad (Mersing), Datuk Shabudin Yahaya (Tasik Gelugor), Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin (Larut MP and former minister), Datuk Mohamad Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (Sabak Bernam) Datuk Seri Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (Tanah Merah).
A source told NSTP that they had submitted resignation letters to the party secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa today.
Datuk Rosol Wahid (Hulu Terengganu) had earlier announced his decision to become an independent MP was for the sake of his constituents.
This is because, he found it difficult to fulfil his duties as an opposition MP as there was no allocation by federal and state governments for him to carry out programmes in the constituency.
