Former Tebrau Bersatu division chairperson Mazlan Bujang should have opted to leave the party before the Johor legislative assembly was dissolved, a division leader opined.
The division's acting chair Kamaruzzaman Abu said Mazlan’s sudden decision to quit the party now seems to suggest it was politically motivated rather than anything else.
According to a report by Bernama, he claimed that Mazlan (above), since the start of this year, had repeatedly rejected the offer to be the candidate for the Tebrau parliamentary and Tiram state seats in the 15th general election.
“If he claims to have lost confidence (in Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin) then why didn’t he quit the party much earlier? When there are elections, then things like this (quitting the party) seem to happen,” Kamaruzzaman told a media conference last night.
He also questioned Mazlan’s statement that 23 Tebrau Bersatu division committee members had also quit the party, claiming only six had done so.
He said despite the setback, the Tebrau division was united and remained loyal to the party under Muhyiddin’s leadership.
On Thursday, Mazlan, who was also a state executive council member, announced that he was quitting Bersatu, along with 22 committee members of the party’s Tebrau division, which he led.
Yesterday, the incumbent Larkin state assemblyperson Mohd Izhar Ahmad also announced his resignation from Bersatu, citing a loss of confidence in Muhyiddin.
The former Johor state exco member said he would not seek to defend his Larkin seat nor participate at any other seat in the upcoming state election and called for voters to give their support to BN, saying that it is for the sake of political stability in the state.
