Perlis MB still awaiting Bersatu response to appeal

Kangar: Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah is still awaiting a response from the Democratic Party (Bersatu) regarding his appeal against a two-election-term suspension from the party, the Perlis chief executive stated. Abu Bakar claimed he had submitted an appeal letter directly to the party's Disciplinary Board chairman, but to this day, he has not received any response or update from the Bersatu leadership.

During a press conference following the launch of the Perlis Progresif 2030 Development Plan, which was inaugurated by Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, Abu Bakar expressed his frustration about the prolonged silence from Bersatu. Abu Bakar's membership in Bersatu was suspended for two election terms, starting from October 13, following allegations that he had violated Clause 9.1.4 of the party's constitution and its Code of Ethics and Conduct.

The Perlis chief minister said his current focus remained on the state government's development and administration. Abu Bakar emphasized that if the Disciplinary Board responds to his appeal, he will accept its decision, stating that there is no problem and that they will continue working as usual.
