PETALING JAYA: Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan has warned that disciplinary action can be taken against Ali Biju, who has decided to defend his Krian state seat as an independent in the Sarawak elections.
The Bersatu leadership had said earlier the party would not contest in the polls and would help to ensure success for its Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) ally.
However, Ali, who is also the the MP for Saratok and the deputy energy and natural resources minister, appears to have broken ranks by standing as an independent for the state seat he has held since 2011.
In a Facebook post, Wan Saiful said that according to Bersatu’s constitution, any member who contested in elections without the party’s permission was subject to disciplinary action, “including immediate termination of their membership”.
“These rules still apply in Sarawak and the party will make the appropriate announcements on this matter.
“I call on all Bersatu members to work together to ensure a big victory for our ally GPS in this state elections,” he said.
Ali defected from PKR during the Sheraton Move in February last year. By August, he had formally joined the Perikatan Nasional component. - FMT
