Former Gopeng Umno Wanita chief Hamidah Osman has lamented that she was made a sacrificial lamb when party president Najib Abdul Razak announced her sacking.

She pointed out that Umno veteran Dr Mahathir Mohamad was even more critical of Najib but was spared of any action.

"I am convinced that I was made the black sheep because they couldn't get the person they wanted, so they settled for something less and I became the victim.

"If going by who was more critical, there are others who were more vocal, such as Tun (Mahathir) but why was no action taken (against him)?" she told Malaysiakini after a press conference at Impian Hotel in Ipoh.
