Perlis MB suspended from Bersatu for two terms
PADANG BESAR: Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah has been suspended from Bersatu for two party election terms, effective Oct 13.
Padang Besar: Perlis Chief Minister Abu Bakar Hamzah has been stripped of his membership from Bersatu for two consecutive election terms, starting from October 13. The authenticity of the suspension letter, dated October 14 and signed by Bersatu Disciplinary Board chairman Datuk Mohd Radzi Manan, was confirmed by Perlis Bersatu chairman Izizam Ibrahim.
However, he denied circulating the letter himself. According to the letter, Abu Bakar's membership rights were suspended due to his violation of Bersatu's constitution and code of ethics. The Disciplinary Board met on October 13 and decided the punishment under Clause 22.5 for breaching Clause 9.1.4 of the party's rules. Following the suspension, Abu Bakar will lose all his party positions and be prohibited from making statements on the party's behalf until the suspension ends. He can appeal the decision to the party's Appeals Board within 14 days of receiving the notice.
