Umno supreme council member Tajuddin Abdul Rahman had warned young leaders in the party against issuing statements on the recent cabinet reshuffle that can undermine unity and harmony in Umno.

"I have come to know that two or three young leaders have suggested disciplinary action against former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

"Young leaders should not try to be heroes and forget their manners and courtesies as party members," he told reporters after the opening of the Pasir Salak Wanita Umno division delegates meeting by Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

On July 28, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak reshuffled the cabinet and replaced Muhyiddin with Ahmad Zahid Hamidi as the deputy prime minister.

Tajudin said Muhyiddin had contributed a lot to Umno and he should continue to be respected as the No 2 leader of the party.

"If he (Muhyiddin) has done any wrong, the Umno disciplinary committee should be allowed to take action. As for now, he has done no wrong," he added.

He said young party leaders in Umno should not lose their focus but continue to work hard to strengthen the party.
