00:00Mas Ermiyati Samsudin's resignation as chief of the Masjid Tanah Bersatu division yesterday
00:05is an open signal she's no longer concerned about disciplinary action, said an analyst.
00:12The Masjid Tanah MP came under scrutiny after attending a post-dismissal gathering
00:16in support of former Bersatu Deputy President Hamza Zainuddin last Saturday.
00:21Azim Fazwan Ahmad Farouk, an academic from University Science Malaysia,
00:25said the Wanita Bersatu chief no longer fears being sacked, just like other leaders who supported Hamza,
00:31including former Supreme Council member Saifuddin Abdullah.
00:34He told FMT that Mas Ermiyati wants to signal that she has completely lost confidence in Muhyiddin Yassin
00:40and wants to see whether Bersatu will dare to take the same action against her as it did with other
00:46leaders.
00:47Yesterday, after Mas Ermiyati announced her resignation as chief of Bersatu's Masjid Tanah division,
00:52all committee members of the division, including leaders of all wings and branch chiefs,
00:57also stepped down, citing a loss of confidence in Muhyiddin.
01:02Azim added that the announcement highlights growing divisions within Bersatu,
01:06though it does not necessarily cripple Muhyiddin's support base entirely.
01:10Naranta Raja, FMT.
