Bersatu rep gets show-cause notice for attending Umno AGM

Nurul Syazwani Noh, a Bersatu Permatang assemblyman, faced a show-cause notice from the party's disciplinary board for attending the Umno general assembly on September 11. The party accused her of violating their code of ethics and conduct and of damaging the party's reputation. Syazwani, the daughter of former Umno leader Noh Omar, stated she attended the event in her personal capacity and denied any wrongdoing.

She clarified that the party had never issued a circular prohibiting members from attending events organized by other parties. Syazwani also pointed out that the party's political bureau had allowed its assemblymen in Pahang to support the Selangor Menteri Besar, Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, in August. She maintained that any disciplinary action should follow the party's constitution and procedures, including clearly stating the provisions she was alleged to have breached.

Syazwani, who resigned as Wanita Bersatu information chief in March, remains a Bersatu member but has yet to decide her future affiliation. She emphasized her commitment to her term in Permatang and expressed respect for the mandate given to her by voters.
