00:00 A Versatu leader has dismissed a claim that more MPs from the party will declare support
00:08 for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim if the opposition fails to prove it can change the government
00:13 soon.
00:14 Versatu Youth Chief Wan Ahmad Faizal Wan Ahmad Kamal said such an ultimatum had not been
00:20 raised in meetings among its elected representatives or at the leadership level.
00:25 Yesterday, FMT reported a party insider as saying more Versatu MPs would pledge support
00:31 for Anwar unless Perikatan Nasional leaders could prove that a takeover of the government
00:36 was imminent.
00:38 Meanwhile, the Machang MP said he would propose to the party's Supreme Council for legal
00:43 action to be taken against the Sikhs so they would vacate their seats.
00:48 He also questioned the claim that some Versatu MPs decided to back the government after Muhyiddin
00:53 Yassin made a U-turn on his decision to not defend his presidency.
00:58 He said he believed that such a claim was made to pit Muhyiddin against the party's
01:02 Secretary General Hamza Zainuddin, who is the opposition leader.
01:06 A Versatu leader previously told FMT that some members were keen to have a new leader
01:11 after the party failed to form the government following the general election and when Muhyiddin
01:16 decided to defend his presidency, which had prompted the MPs to back Anwar.
