Bersama suspends Nik Nazmi from party activities for three months from Oct 20 after Jais incident

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 — The Parti Bersama Malaysia has imposed a three-month suspension on Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad from all official party activities, effective October 20. This decision came after his public admission of involvement in an incident with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) on October 15. Nik Nazmi confirmed he was the individual caught in an enclosed space with a woman, not his muhrim, during the raid and issued a public apology to his wife, family, and party members.

Syukri Razab, speaking on behalf of the party, emphasized that they take such leadership and membership issues seriously to safeguard the party's integrity, credibility, and public confidence. The suspension period extends until January 19, 2027. The party acknowledged Nik Nazmi's contributions and dedication to Bersama since its relaunch in May 2026, but did not dismiss the necessity or reasonability of the decision.
