Bersatu man says dispute over associate wing resolved weeks ago

 

A Bersatu divisional leader said a purported dismissal letter sent to three committee members did not bear any names.

PETALING JAYA: A Bersatu leader has questioned a report that three committee members of the party’s associate wing had been sacked.

The division leader from Selangor said the purported dismissal letter did not mention any names, “nor was any letter signed by Muhyiddin,” referring to party president Muhyiddin Yassin.

The leader, who asked to remain anonymous, told FMT that only Muhyiddin could remove the committee members.

Earlier today, the associate wing’s deputy chief Dr Mahaganapathy Dass, information chief S Subramaniam and committee member MU Raja, were reported by Malaysiakini to have been dismissed.

The wing’s assistant secretary Dr Richard Ng was also quoted as saying that a new committee was “in the process of being formed”.

However, FMT’s source said the matter had been resolved “a couple weeks ago”.

He said the trio were appointed by Muhyiddin and the party’s constitution also stipulates that these members cannot be removed at whim.

“I’m sure that Muhyiddin and (Supreme Council member) Azmin Ali will not allow the three to leave because PN needs the Indian vote,” he said. - FMT
