Bersatu Conflict Hamzah Camp Beats Back Pmo Meet Allegations

---

Signs of Bersatu's internal conflict spilled into the public sphere again today, following allegations that a top party leader has been having regular meetings at the Prime Minister's Office.
A message that has been circulating on WhatsApp alleged that the leader was Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin, who was reportedly seeking government positions.
However, an aide to Hamzah denounced this as a lie.
"Slander. Someone else is doing the wooing, but another person is slandered instead," said the opposition leader's private secretary Ahmad Ikhwan Fadhli on X.
"Amateur-level psychological warfare. No class," he added.
Previously, Free Malaysia Today, citing sources, reported that a top Bersatu leader had promised to get more Bersatu MPs to support the government.
The sources alleged that this was to ensure the "survival" of certain Bersatu leaders until the next party election.
It was speculated previously that Hamzah was engaged in a tussle for power with former minister Azmin Ali.
‘Misunderstandings resolved’
Separately, Bersatu associate members’ wing chief Chong Fat Full alleged yesterday that a top party leader was trying to divide the party.
Bersatu associate members’ wing chief Chong Fat Full"The mastermind tried to derail Bersatu and PAS' efforts to topple the Anwar Ibrahim-led federal government," he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.
However, Chong claimed the internal dissent was quelled after a supreme council meeting where “misunderstandings” between leaders were resolved openly.
This was believed to be referring to a meeting on Jan 28, after which Hamzah issued a statement affirming the party's loyalty to Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, with Anwar as their enemy.
Hamzah's would-be rival Azmin was also appointed as Selangor Bersatu chief following that meeting.
However, Bersatu deputy president Ahmad Faizal Azumu was removed as the Negeri Sembilan party chief, following complaints that he had neglected his duties to the state chapter. - Mkini
