00:01Bursatu risks plunging deeper into a crisis should it go ahead with its threat to take action against those who
00:07attend programs by members who have been expelled from the party, say two analysts.
00:13Ahmad Zaharudin Sani Ahmad Sabri of Global Asia Consulting said if the party does indeed carry out the threat, it
00:21could lose its grassroots support and machinery which were critical for Bursatu's survival.
00:26He said history has shown that mass sackings can lead to a more vocal opposition movement, similar to the 1998
00:34Reformasi movement, which was sparked by Anwar Ibrahim's sacking from the government.
00:39Yesterday, Bursatu Secretary-General Azmin Ali said the party is compiling information on a gathering last Saturday involving recently sacked
00:48Deputy President Hamza Zainuddin.
00:50Azmin previously warned party members against participating in meetings organized by those who have been given the boot following the
00:58sacking of 17 Bursatu leaders, including Hamza.
01:02Meanwhile, Mazlan Ali of University Technology Malaysia said the threat issued by Azmin, along with the sacking of the leaders,
01:08would fail to reduce tensions within the party and would instead deepen internal divisions in Bursatu.
