Watch on Umno backstabbers ALOR STAR: Undercover Umno officials from the party headquarters are here to monitor party members said to be campaigning against certain candidates. State Umno executive secretary Datuk Ariffin Man, who disclosed this, said the party was aware of this and warned the “backstabbers” to watch out. He said a committee, comprising mostly of Umno headquarters officials, were here and moving around without identifying themselves. “On Nomination Day, I saw about 60 unfamiliar faces at the nomination centre in Pokok Sena. “They could be officials involved in the monitoring process,” said Ariffin, who is contesting the Bukit Lada state seat which is under the Pokok Sena parliamentary constituency. Kedah Umno is facing internal bickering over the choice of candidates in certain constituencies. Ariffin advised members to unite and support the party’s candidates, adding that it was meaningless to be a member of a party “when you backstab it.” --THE STAR
