UMNO AGM Umno has been back-stabbed and shunned in Penang and Selangor by government-linked companies (GLCs), delegates from the two states told the party's general assembly.

"These corporate guys implemented projects worth billions, but not a single sen went to Umno.

"The GLCs stab us from behind; they support the Penang state government," Musa Sheikh Fadzir, a Bukit Mertajam delegate, said during the debate on the president's policy speech at the Umno general assembly.

He, however, did not elaborate how the GLCs have treated the Penang Umno.

His sentiment was shared by a delegate from Selangor, Nasaruddin M Zin.

"We urge the GLCs of the federal government, give the Selangor Umno leaders a bit of face.

"(Invite us) when they launch (housing projects) or surrender keys to the house buyers. This is a chance for us to be together with the rakyat and prove these are federal projects," he said.

Both Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) and Sime Darby Property have succumbed to the pressure of the Selangor state government, said Nasaruddin.

"The state government was using a strict regulation to force the GLCs to succumb in promoting its affordable houses," Nasaruddin said.

Sime Darby had retracted its sponsorship of a fun-run programme held at Taman Melawati after it came to know that Selangor Umno chief Noh Omar was invited to the event, he said.

"If they do not want to help us, if they do not want to give the Umno or BN leadership a chance to meet the people, don't put pressure on us, we are already in turmoil," he said.
