Tun Faisal tolak gesaan Kiandee lucut keahlian Ahli Parlimen tandatangan CSA

Ketua penerangan Bersatu berkata mereka yang dipecat pada 2024 ingkar arahan parti, manakala mereka yang tandatangan CSA dengan kerajaan berbuat demikian atas arahan parti.

Tun Faisal tolak gesaan Kiandee lucut keahlian Ahli Parlimen tandatangan CSA

Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, the Chairman of Bersatu, denied the notion that the party would allow the credentials of their allies who signed the Confidence and Commitment Agreement (CSA) with the government to be revoked. The action against six former MPs was taken due to their violation of party regulations and disregarding the party's instructions, according to Tun Faisal.

The six formerly imprisoned MPs along with two others who were previously suspended were sanctioned because they breached party regulations. However, the ones who signed the CSA did so following the decision of the Bersatu Summit, as stated by Tun Faisal. Ronald Kiandee, the Deputy President of Bersatu, questioned the decision of Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin and five other MPs to sign the CSA in a Facebook post.

Kiandee argued that since six former Bersatu MPs were dismissed due to supporting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, their ability to sign the CSA should also be automatically suspended. Tun Faisal clarified that Bersatu took action against the six former MPs for violating party regulations and ignoring party instructions, unlike the case of the two suspended MPs who were dealt with by the Bersatu Disciplinary Committee.

Kiandee's statement differed slightly in context from the position of the two suspended MPs who were imprisoned by the Bersatu Disciplinary Committee and six others who were dismissed by the party. The six MPs who signed the CSA on the same day are Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin (Pagoh), Radzi Jidin (Putrajaya), Ali Biju (Saratok), Suhaimi Abdullah (Langkawi), Nazri Abu Hassan (Merbok), and Azman Nasrudin (Padang Serai).

The agreement was also signed by Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and six former Bersatu MPs who were dismissed from the party in 2024 for declaring their support for the government.
