00:00Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional Federal Territories Secretary Mahathir Raes has resigned from
00:07his post in both the party and coalition.
00:12In a letter addressed to Bersatu and PN's Federal Territories Chief and Chairman Razi
00:17Jiddin, Mahathir said he was stepping down from his post and quitting the party with
00:22immediate effect.
00:25He told FMT that a difference of opinion over the party's struggles was the reason for his
00:30sudden exit.
00:33Mahathir had recently expressed his disappointment over the coalition's support for former Prime
00:38Minister Najib Razak's efforts to serve the remainder of his jail term under house arrest.
00:45He described the January 6th rally for Najib organised by PAS and attended by several Bersatu
00:52leaders outside the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya as disheartening.
00:58He said leaders who once branded the Najib administration as kleptocratic and corrupt
01:03are now calling for leniency and framing him as a victim of injustice.
01:09Mahathir said this reeks of political opportunism and has exposed PN leaders' willingness to
01:16sacrifice their principles for political gain.
