Umno youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, for instance, said that BN leaders had been “drunk” on hubris after 60 years of uninterrupted power.

He also admitted that no one was willing to “bell the cat” after seeing their then second-in-command, Mr Muhyiddin Yassin, dropped from Cabinet for questioning Mr Najib over the source of 1MDB’s funds and where some 2.6 billion ringgit had gone.

Shouldn't it be "drop" instead?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
No, 'dropped' is correct. Same as if he had been eliminated from the cabinet.

@tanguatlay,
Did Mr. Yassin quit, or was he fired?

In the first case it would be 'drop', in the second 'dropped'.

The context suggests that Mr. Yassin was fired - so 'dropped' is correct.
