Bersatu stabbed PN in the back, claims Wan Fayhsal

The Wawasan leader claims Bersatu triggered PN’s deregistration after losing its leadership positions in the coalition.

Bersatu stabbed PN in the back, claims Wan Fayhsal

Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, leader of Wawasan, claims that Bersatu utilized a "scorched-earth" approach to undermine the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition, rather than relinquishing control to PAS. This accusation stems from Bersatu lodging a complaint that resulted in PN's deregistration. The Machang MP asserts that this decision was driven by Bersatu's leaders being democratically removed from their positions within PN, prompting them to lodge the complaint.

Wan Fayhsal contends that Bersatu's leaders are now displaying insincere sorrow over the decision, alleging that they initially sought to dismantle the coalition rather than cede control to PAS.

He points to ongoing negotiations between Bersatu and the PH-led Selangor government over a confidence and supply agreement as indication of a shifting political landscape. Additionally, he suggests that similar cooperation may be under consideration in Melaka. Furthermore, Wan Fayhsal questions the haste behind the Registrar of Societies' (RoS) decision to revoke PN's registration, occurring just two days prior to a scheduled court hearing to halt the coalition's suspension.

The rapidity of this action, he wonders, raises concerns about the lack of patience exhibited by RoS. Wan Fayhsal also criticizes RoS for demonstrating inconsistent behavior, stating that they ignored complaints of internal disputes within Bersatu but took swift action when those complaints were directed towards PN. He accuses the Madani government of employing administrative powers to weaken political adversaries in the lead-up to the Melaka state election and the 2016 general election.
