  "account": "PETALING JAYA: Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, Bersatu's Head of Communications, has warned that any party member who leaves the party will be punished by Allah, Rasul, and the believers. (Facebook image) The Head of Communications urged party members to vacate their seats and pay RM10,000 to the party, reminding them of the promised incentives and oath they made to the party when they were elected as candidates. If they leave the party or switch to another party, they would be punished by Allah, Rasul, and the believers, and all expenditures using the deputy speaker's allowance would be haram, he said in a Facebook note. He also shared a screenshot of the agreement document stating that the party members must relinquish their positions as ADUN, MP, or senator if they leave the party or join another party. When I leave or am dismissed from the party, I agree to pay RM10,000 to Bersatu without hesitation, according to the agreement, he added. Although Tun Faisal did not mention names, the statement came after Exco Terengganu, Razali Idris, hinted at leaving Bersatu and joining a new party, just over a month after taking on the role of Bersatu Terengganu chairman. Razali reportedly said on September 30 that his last day as Bersatu's leader had come after 10 years in the position within the Umno-linked party. In response to Tun Faisal, Razali said, via a Facebook note, that part of the agreement he signed is to follow the party's orders without contradicting Islamic teachings.",
