Jamal Yunos may quit as Umno division chief

Controversial Umno leader says, rather cynically, that he plans on running an illegal gambling den 'as owners of such premises seem to be above the law'.

PETALING JAYA:
Colourful politician Jamal Yunos says he may quit as Sungai Besar Umno division chief.

He says he may also step down as the leader of a coalition of Selangor Malay NGOs.

Jamal will however remain as the leader of the Red Shirts movement which gained infamy when they organised counter rallies against Bersih 2.0.

His comments today follow his release from the Ampang Jaya police station this evening. He and nine others were arrested a few days ago for alleged gang robbery.

This came after he led a series of raids on gaming centres in the state in a bid to highlight what he claimed was the Selangor government’s lack of enforcement against illegal gambling outlets.

“I may give up all the important posts to focus on running illegal gambling joints as owners of such premises seem to be above the law,” he said in a rather cynical tone.

Jamal addressed his supporters in a short video, which was uploaded on Facebook.

The businessman is well known for his headline-grabbing antics.

Just last month, he parked 10 beds outside the Selangor secretariat building to highlight what he claimed was a mushrooming of massage parlours in the state.

In December, Jamal walked to the Selangor state secretariat building in nothing but a towel to protest the massive water cuts in the Klang Valley.

The month before that, he organised a helicopter ride above a bungalow belonging to Ampang PKR Youth chief Adam Rosly, questioning his “extraordinary” wealth.
