A day after the rumours, the letter arrives: Bersatu rep Kamarudin out of Kelantan exco

A day after rumours circulated, Kelantan Bersatu chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor has received a letter terminating his appointment to the state executive council (exco). The Ayer Lanas assemblyman, who oversees the state's tourism, culture, arts, and heritage portfolio, has not disclosed the contents of the letter, stating that he will provide more information in a future press conference.

The decision to remove Kamarudin comes amid a political rift between PAS and Bersatu, the two main parties in Perikatan Nasional, following PAS's announcement on June 8 that it was ending all political cooperation with Bersatu.
