KUALA LUMPUR: The missing letters from the word "Umno" atop its party headquarters at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) is a result of poor maintenance and not an act of sabotage, said Umno information chief Datuk Ahmad Maslan.
He said the party secretariat and Putrade Property Management Sdn Bhd (Putrade), which is the management company of PWTC, had been informed of the "damage".
He added that swift action would be taken to replace the missing letters.
"I have advised Datuk Abdul Rauf Yusof and Putrade on the matter after receiving a text message from someone this morning.
"I will make sure that it will be fixed immediately."
Yesterday, blogger Ahirudin Atan of Rocky's Bru posted pictures of the Umno headquarters with only the "NO" and "UO" signs on the sides of the building.
Some claimed on the blog that it was a sign of "the end of Umno" due to the "NO" sign.
Ahmad said it was just a coincidence that the sign formed such a word.
