A Puteri Umno member today slammed a former aspirant to the wing's top post, Mastina Abdul Hamid, for her 'turncoat' support of Azalina Othman Said who made a clean sweep of the nominations to lead the movement.

The criticism came following Mastina's call to members to "support the new leader" in an English daily after the month-long nomination closed on Oct 15.

The shocked Puteri Umno member who requested anonymity called Mastina an "opportunist" who is trying do damage control from challenging Azalina and to regain acceptance in the two-year-old movement.
