Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman has brushed off his six-year suspension from Umno.

He quipped that he was still an Umno member, and that the suspension was not a death sentence.

"I am still Umno, no problem. That gantung (suspension) is not being hanged to death, what's the problem?

"If you want to gantung (hang someone), gantung until they are dead. If they don't die they might come back to life," he said in jest during the Dewan Rakyat session today.

Umno secretary-general Ahmad Maslan (BN-Pontian), who was seated next to Tajuddin, smirked throughout the remarks.
