Bersatu meeting postponed after report of plot against Dr M, Mukhriz

The Bersatu supreme council meeting planned to be held tomorrow in absence of party chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad and deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir has been postponed.

This is according to a postponement notice issued by Bersatu working secretary Capt (R) Muhammad Suhaimi Yahya (above) to Bersatu top leaders.

"As instructed, I would like to inform that the supreme council meeting scheduled for tomorrow May 11, 2020, at noon has been postponed to another date that will be informed later," he said in the notice sighted by Malaysiakini.

When contacted, Bersatu supreme council member A Kadir Jasin confirmed receiving the notice issued several hours after news broke that tomorrow's meeting is likely to see efforts to move against Mahathir and his son Mukhriz, with a worst-case scenario resulting in their sacking. 

"Yes, I received it. I received it on my personal WhatsApp from the setiausaha kerja (Suhaimi)," Kadir told Malaysiakini.
