KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) -- Former Umno Supreme Council member, Tan Sri Abdul Kadir Sheikh Fadzir said he was ready to face Umno Disciplinary Committee if called up.

Abdul Kadir, who is also deputy president of non-political movement Angkatan Amanah Merdeka, said he expected the committee to call him up for allegedly making statements that may affect the interests of the party during interviews by some Internet TV portals, recently.

"I will also provide copies of the DVDs of the interviews to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor next week," he told a news conference in Seri Kembangan near here, today.

Two copies of the DVDs containing his interviews with the Harakah Daily, MOBTV.my, Malaysiakini.tv and also a speech made by him at a seminar were distributed to the reporters present.

Abdul Kadir said he was still loyal to Umno and his action of making such statements were for the good of the party and government.

"As an Umno member who has been in the party for 55 years and has held various positions in the government, of course I have the experience and the right to give my views," he said.
