00:00A political analyst expects most Brisato leaders and members to support party president Mui
00:07Din Yassin's formula for the upcoming party post to prevent PAS from dominating Brigada
00:12Nacional.
00:14James Chin of the University of Tasmania said Brisato would avoid allowing open contests
00:19for top posts to keep party unity intact, knowing it risks having less influence in
00:24PN if more problems arise.
00:27Having seen six of its MPs pledging support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, he also
00:31said Brisato would be quite afraid of losing out on a bigger scale in the next general
00:36election.
00:37Recently, Mui Din revealed his formula for the party post, which would see Deputy President
00:42Ahmad Faizal Azumu making way for Secretary-General Hamzah Zainuddin to take over the post.
00:47Hamzah's current post will be offered to Selangor opposition leader Azmin Ali, while
00:52Faizal will run for one of the three vice presidents' posts instead.
00:56Meanwhile, Akademi Nusantara's Azmi Hassan said Mui Din's plan would ensure stability
01:01in Brisato, but leadership issues would still persist.
01:04Azmi said Brisato's main challenge was the lack of inspiring leadership from Mui Din,
01:09whom he described as having lost the capability to project a vision for his party.
01:14Meanwhile, Azmil Taib of University Science Malaysia said Brisato should open its top
01:18posts for contests and let party members vote for their preferred leaders as this would
01:23give the party democratic credibility.
