Gua Musang MP slams Bersatu’s legal action threat against MPs who support PM Anwar
“Previously, Bersatu MPs raised questions about allocations and asked about steps the party is taking to help its representatives assist their constituents. However, the leadership did not seem earnest in upholding the party’s prestige.
(MMO) – Gua Musang MP Mohd Azizi Abu Naim condemned his party Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (Bersatu) threat of legal action against the MPs who pledged support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Mohd Azizi, one of the six Bersatu lawmakers who pledged his support to Anwar without quitting the party, said that it is an act of intimidation by the party, Malaysiakini reported.
Azizi also said that he had met with party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin before and after voicing support for the government, to talk about allocations for opposition lawmakers, especially those from Bersatu.
He said that the decision to back Anwar was then expected and he was ready to face action from the party.
“Previously, Bersatu MPs raised questions about allocations and asked about steps the party is taking to help its representatives assist their constituents. However, the leadership did not seem earnest in upholding the party’s prestige.
“So I leave it to the party’s leadership to decide on the course of action to be taken against me and the other MPs who have backed PMX (Anwar),” he said.
