  "account": "Mas Ermieyati Samsudin, the chief of the Bersatu Wanita, has challenged the party to suspend her, six years after she was initially suspended for breaking the party's constitution and code of conduct. Mas Ermieyati, who is also the Bersatu Wanita chief, was suspended in March after attending a gathering to show support for recently sacked deputy president Hamzah Zainudin. She expressed that she is in a state of uncertainty as she has received no communication from the Bersatu leadership regarding her current status. She stated that she remains suspended and has not received any updates. Despite her suspended status, she continued her duties as an elected representative and is willing to assist her party colleagues in any way she can. As for her parliamentary seat at the upcoming general election next year, Mas Ermieyati said she will leave it to the leadership of her new party, which is believed to be Wawasan led by Hamzah. She previously confirmed her support for Hamzah. Mas Ermieyati was among those suspended along with vice-president Ronald Kiandee on March 10, and they were also removed from their posts. Kiandee and Mas Ermieyati attended the gathering supporting Hamzah on February 14, a day after Bersatu expelled Hamzah.",
