Mas Ermieyati mahu Bersatu pecat terus, bukan gantung keahlian
Bagaimanapun, Ahli Parlimen Masjid Tanah itu berkata tindakan disiplin ke atasnya tidak sedikit pun menjejaskan tugasnya sebagai wakil rakyat
Mas Ermieyati Samsudin, a member of Parliament from Masjid Tanah, has expressed her continued support for Bersatu despite the party's decision to suspend her from her position due to disciplinary action for supporting a rival leader. This suspension, which has been in place for two consecutive election cycles or six years, has left her uncertain about her standing within the party. When asked about her status, she stated, "Still hanging on. No change," when inquired about her current position within the party.
However, Mas Ermieyati stresses that these disciplinary measures do not undermine her role as a representative of the people. Instead, she continues to assist the group with which she is aligned. "No, it doesn't interfere. It doesn't interfere directly. I utilize the capacities I have to help my colleagues and other teams in achieving the agenda that has already been decided," she said.
As the upcoming general election approaches, she has surrendered the decision of whether to retain her parliamentary seat to the future party leadership. Although she has not joined the newly formed People's Vision Party (Wawasan), she reaffirms her support for party leader Hamzah Zainudin and the group of 13 Bersatu MPs who back him. They have been dubbed the "Parliament Reset" faction, in line with the movement introduced by Hamzah, and she acknowledges her lack of ties to Bersatu following the dissolution of Parliament.
Mas Ermieyati was suspended from Bersatu for two consecutive election cycles in February 2020 following allegations of violating Article 9.1.4 of the party's constitution and the Code of Conduct and Behavior for Members. Her suspension came after she publicly supported Hamzah, who was expelled from Bersatu in January 2020 amid internal party conflicts.
She was one of the 13 MPs backing Hamzah and attended a gathering supporting the former party deputy leader on February 14, just a day after his expulsion. Hamzah had previously launched the "Reset" movement as part of his efforts to reform, improve, and strengthen the nation's collective strength before launching Wawasan in June.
