BN flags were torn, posters were sprayed with red paint and letters of resignations flew as Perlis UMNO members riot on being told that MB Shahidan Kassim would be dropped this coming election.
Earlier UMNO party leaders Shahidan Kassim as Mentri Besar and two Cabinet ministers from Perlis, Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid and Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad, were still at each others throats on the eve of submitting their nomination list to the PM.
Later in the morning, an irate BN chairman Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Datuk Sri Najib Razak gave an ultimatum to Shahidan and the two ministers to sort out their issues and revert with a candidates list acceptable to all three parties.
Tension got worse when Shahidan's supporters could not contain their emotions and started tearing Barisan Nasional flags and posters of the Prime Minister were sprayed red. Several even tendered their resignation letters as division committee members.
