The expected fireworks at today's Umno supreme council meeting fizzled out with party president Najib Abdul Razak announcing that deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin and vice-president Shafie Apdal have pledged their commitment to strengthen the party.

His statement after the meeting puts paid to earlier speculation that either Muhyiddin or Shafie or both would be given the boot or have severe action taken against them for their outspokenness on the 1MDB affair and Najib himself.
