Tajuddin Abdul Rahman was sacked as an UMNO supreme council member last week. A few days after that, he held a press conference, in which he spilled the tea on some inner workings of his political party, including his disdain towards his party president, and that a number of Umno MPs had signed statutory declarations (SDs) to support Anwar as prime minister in 2020. On this episode, I speak to Dr Bridget Welsh about Tajuddin’s rise to prominence in politics and what his recent sacking and subsequent tell-all press conference means for UMNO moving forward.
