KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah, has consented to revoking the appointment of Datuk Seri Lajim Ukim as Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister with immediate effect, said a statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday.
On July 28, Lajim, who is Beaufort MP, had announced that he was quitting as an Umno supreme council member, Beaufort Umno division chief and Beaufort Barisan chairman to cooperate with the opposition.
However, he had chosen to remain as an Umno member and Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister.
Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the party had sent him a show-cause letter and he had 14 days to reply to the letter after which Umno would consider action against him as provided for under the party's constitution. - Bernama
