Pay up, Umno told as Umno applies to set aside RM218m judgment hit the headlines in The Star yesterday.
The amount is the highest-ever sum of money that Umno — which is the pillar of ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition — has been ordered to pay by a court of law.
Today Online reports the same story with an added quote as below:
Umno further argued that the campaign materials in question bore the BN's "dacing" (scale) logo, and not the Umno's logo of a "keris" (the traditional Malay dagger).
Malaysiakini said Elegant Advisory executive director Samsudin Ibrahim recently rebutted Mr Abdul Azim's argument that Umno was wrongly cited in the action.
The company contended that "Umno, as the biggest party in BN, has not only used the keris logo during the election but also used the dacing logo widely. BN is not a legal entity but it's a coalition of political parties, with Umno being its biggest party".
This would raise a question on Barisan Nasional (BN) existence as an "organization" and legitimacy in contesting elections. IF BN is not a registered organization, then all the posters and banners placed for projects or campaigns can be construed as misleading Malaysians!
While Guan Eng had said that "Umno exceeded election spending limit".
Well let it be heard in courts and for Malaysians to take note?
