  "account": "Bersatu has rejected the idea of losing the expertise of six of its former MPs who signed a joint declaration on confidence and competence (CSA) with the central government, stating that the action taken against them is due to breaches of party regulations and disregard for party instructions. Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, the Bersatu spokesperson, clarified that the six expelled MPs and two others held in suspension prior to this are being dealt with for violating party rules. However, these decisions were made in line with the top leadership's decision made at the Bersatu's highest decision-making body. In response to Presidential candidate Ronald Kiandee's Facebook post questioning the decision made by Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin and five other MPs to sign the CSA, Tun Faisal stated that the party is taking action against the six former MPs because they have disregarded party regulations and instructions. The action taken against the MPs is different from the case of two other former MPs who were suspended and six others expelled by the party's disciplinary body, he explained. The six MPs who signed the CSA with the central government recently are Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin from Pagoh, Radzi Jidin from Putrajaya, Ali Biju from Saratok, Suhaimi Abdullah from Langkawi, Nazri Abu Hassan from Merbok, and Azman Nasrudin from Padang Serai. Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, the MP from Muar, and the six former Bersatu MPs expelled in 2024 for declaring support for the government also signed the CSA.",
