SNAPSHOT | Maybe Taki thinks ROS is 'stupid' - Bersatu veep; Solehah no longer with IIUM

What's going on in the news today, with updates at 11am, 2pm, and 6pm.

PN secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan announced that Bersatu is "technically" no longer a member of Perikatan Nasional (PN) after choosing to utilize its own logo in elections. Despite this legal distinction, Bersatu remains a member of the coalition in a formal sense. The secretary-general clarified that this classification stems from Bersatu's decision to cease using the PN logo and compete under its own party symbol.

He indicated that PN has not yet determined whether disciplinary action will be implemented against Bersatu, but the matter is under review. The PN constitution permits disciplinary measures, which could include suspension, expulsion, or removal from the coalition. Takiyuddin noted that Bersatu's ongoing separation from PN might pose challenges for the coalition, especially given its apparent reluctance to remain within its framework.

He pointed out that the party's preference for its own logo, rather than that of the coalition, suggests political alignment with leaving PN.
