00:01An analyst has described Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar's decision not to defend his post as Marang
00:07Paz's chief as a possible move towards pursuing a higher position in the party.
00:13Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara said Samsuri's decision to relinquish the post he had held
00:18for years might not simply be about injecting fresh energy into the division.
00:24Speaking to FMT, he said it might be an early signal of bigger political ambitions ahead
00:29of the 16th general election.
00:33Samsuri, who has been the Marang Paz's chief since 2019, announced yesterday that he would
00:38not be defending his position as he said he believed the time had come for someone else
00:43to carry on the struggle.
00:45Meanwhile, Terengganu Paz's committee member Hanafya Mutt said Samsuri's decision to step
00:50down was due to his huge mission of preparing for G-16.
00:55However, Shaza Shikri of International Islamic University Malaysia said Samsuri's decision
01:00could be tied to political maneuvering within Paz.
01:04She said the move might appear to be about opening up space for new leaders, but could
01:08also be interpreted as a response to growing unease among certain factions over Samsuri's
01:13position.
01:14So, let's get started.
01:16Thank you very much.
01:18This is the first thing.
01:19We are going through the top of the main plan, which we have learned as a result in the
01:27ures team.
01:28This is a subject, but we will
01:37not be able to learn.
