A month later, the editor of The Edge filed a complaint against Screenshots (JeffOoi) at MCMC because of one of the comments on his blog by his reader. After that, one RED banner has appeared on his blog for all the time.

Now, Umno secretary-general Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said “leadership wanted to send a clear signal to all”.

Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said the sacking had nothing to do with the Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad issue.

“He came out with comments in his Sang Kelembai blog which ran down the party and the leadership, including the president, on countless occasions.” Asked if this was a warning to other bloggers who are Umno members, he said: “Possibly”. “It sends a clear message,” he said.
