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 mahu Bersatu pecat terus, bukan gantung keahlian

Mas Ermieyati Samsudin, a Masjid Tanah MP, expressed her desire for Bersatu to continue to remove her from the party rather than allow her professional status to remain indefinitely suspended without any progress. She stated that there was still no new information from Bersatu leadership regarding her future position after being suspended from the party's competency for two election cycles or six years since last October.

"Still stuck. No (development)," she told FMT when asked about her professional status. However, Mas Ermieyati emphasized that the disciplinary action did not detract from her duties as a representative, and she continued to assist the group she was with. "No, it doesn't disturb. Not disturbing directly. I use my capacity to help my friends and other teams in achieving whatever agenda has been decided upon," she added.

As the PRU approaches, she surrendered the decision on retaining her Masjid Tanah parliamentary seat to the party's future leadership. Although she has not joined the Wawasan Negara party, she affirmed her continued support for Ketua Pembangkang Hamzah Zainudin and his 13-member parliamentary group. She referred to this group as the 'Parliament Reset' members, in line with the movement Hamzah introduced, besides stating she is no longer tied to Bersatu after the dissolution of Parliament.

Mas Ermieyati was suspended from Bersatu's competency for two election cycles since October 10, 2020, following violations of Section 9.1.4 of the party constitution and the Code of Conduct and Ethics for Members. This action followed her public support for Hamzah, who was expelled from Bersatu on February 13, 2021, following internal party turmoil.

She was among the 13 Bersatu MPs who supported Hamzah and attended his protest meeting on February 14, a day after his expulsion. Hamzah had launched the Reset movement earlier as an effort to rebirth, upgrade, and strengthen national power collectively, before launching Wawasan in June.
