00:01Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin has denied that the party had issued instructions to its five assemblymen in Perlis to withdraw their support for Shukri Ramli as Menteri Besa.
00:13In a statement today, Muhyiddin said Bersatu only submitted the names of its candidates for the post after being instructed to do so by the Perlis Ruler's Office.
00:22Five Bersatu assemblymen were among eight who allegedly submitted statutory declarations to the Perlis Ruler, expressing their loss of confidence in Shukri's leadership.
00:35Yesterday, Past President Abdul Hadi Awang revealed that his party had submitted its list of candidates for the Menteri Besa's post and said it was up to Bersatu to decide whether to take action against the five assemblymen.
00:49The five are believed to be Abu Bakar Hamzah, Izizam Ibrahim, Megad Hashirat Hassan, Wan Zikri Aftar Ishaq, and Marzita Mansur.
01:00PAS had earlier terminated the membership of its three Perlis assemblymen, Sa'ad Seman, Fakrul Anwar Ismail, and Rizwan Hashim, for allegedly joining their Bersatu counterparts in submitting SDs to the ruler.
