00:00Bersatu Information Chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz has urged Larut MP Hamza Saynuddin to step down as opposition leader,
00:09claiming that he no longer has the legitimacy to hold the post after his expulsion from the party.
00:15In a Facebook post, Tun Faisal said the Perikatan National Supreme Council decided on February 22nd
00:22that Hamza should vacate the post since he had been sacked from Bersatu.
00:26He said Hamza and the others sacked from Bersatu were now independent MPs and not part of PN
00:32and that PAS had been asked to name a replacement as soon as possible.
00:37Tun Faisal added that according to Westminster Conventions for the Opposition Leader's Post,
00:43the role hinges on an MP's party membership.
00:46He said Hamza's continued issuance of statements as opposition leader made it seem like he was still representing PN.
00:55Hamza was sacked from Bersatu on February 13th at the height of a bitter leadership feud with party president Muhyiddin
01:01Yassin.
