‘Not impossible’ that Bersatu’s Selangor reps will back Amirudin, says Hilman

Two Bersatu assemblymen from Selangor hold out the possibility that the party could support menteri besar Amirudin Shari's administration until the end of its term. Hilman Idham, who serves as the Bersatu Youth chief and represents Gombak Setia, stated that it is not impossible for the party to align with Amirudin. He emphasized that the public interest remains Bersatu's top priority when making such decisions.

Hilman clarified that Bersatu has previously collaborated with both Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) in the past.

Kuang assemblyman Rafiq Abdullah echoed Hilman's sentiments, stating that any decision would ultimately depend on the party's leadership. As party members, they would abide by the decision made by their leaders. In the 2023 Selangor state election, the People’s Alliance (PH) secured 32 of the 56 state seats, while Perikatan Nasional (PN) won 22 seats - 12 for Bersatu and 10 for PAS. BN took two seats.

Recently, in Pahang, Kuala Sentul assemblyman Jasri Jamaludin and Lepar assemblyman Yazid Yunus revealed that their decision to support Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail was backed by Bersatu's top leadership. They expressed that the goal was to ensure Pahang's political stability and safeguard the welfare of their constituents.
