The membership of Titi Serong assemblyperson Hasnul Zulkarnain Abd Munaim in Bersatu is now pending a probe on whether he supported the vote of confidence on the Perak Menteri Besar on Dec 4.
Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin said it is enshrined in the party’s constitution that any member found not toeing party line would automatically have his or her membership dropped.
"Maybe after this, Perak Umno would send evidence to us (that Hasnul Zulkarnain did not support the motion). If it is proven, it automatically comes into effect. We have taken similar actions at the national level, there is no exception at the division or state level,” he said.
He told reporters after presenting food baskets of Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia’s Friends of Larut in Selama today.
Several news portals quoting Hasnul Zulkarnain (above) as saying that he was waiting for a decision by Bersatu after being accused of rejecting the vote of confidence on Ahmad Faizal Azumu as menteri besar on Dec 4.
Hasnul Zulkarnain joined Bersatu on June 3. Before that, he was an Independent assemblyperson after leaving Amanah on March 9 following the political realignment in Perak that month itself which saw Perikatan Nasional (PN) taking over the administration from Pakatan Harapan.
Apart from that, Hamzah who is Larut MP in his article in a local daily proposed a formal charter to symbolise the coalition of PN, BN and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) based on facts and declared stands.
"When I moot it, nobody can accuse me of raising issues like the small eating the big as there are responsibilities for each party to come together,” he said.
He was commenting the reaction of Umno vice-president Mohamed Khaled Nordin who said establishing a coalition after another coalition was not necessary as it is only the survival strategy which harnesses the strength from the support of the largest party.
On the other hand, Mohamed Khaled said PN, BN and GPS must build their strength through the vote and mandate of the people in the general election.
