Chegubard Defends His Call For Muhyiddin To Resign Rejects Traitor Label

---

 
PORT Dickson Bersatu chief Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, has firmly rejected accusations of treason from within his party after openly calling for president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to resign over his son-in-law’s ongoing corruption probe.
At a press conference outside the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters, Chegubard said: “Apologies, Tan Sri. If you fail to call your son-in-law back, it would be better for you to step down respectfully, rather than become a burden to this struggle and slow its progress.
“You once advised us that Islam demands Muslims have a sense of shame, so we hope you too will uphold that value, as you yourself have advised. I am only a small individual with a modest contribution in the struggle to defend a very large cause.
“For me, black is black and white is white. There is no grey. Corruption is the country’s number one enemy.”
The controversy stems from MACC’s completed investigation into businessman Datuk Seri Muhammad Adlan Berhan – Muhyiddin’s son-in-law – over alleged corruption and misappropriation linked to ministry projects.
Adlan, believed to be in the Middle East, has yet to return for questioning.
Bersatu recently faced internal turmoil with calls for Muhyiddin’s resignation, but a meeting at his home restored a fragile status quo.
Responding to Negri Sembilan Bersatu’s condemnation – labelling his remarks “treacherous, uncivilised and insubordinate” – Chegubard defended his stance to FMT.
“So, I decided to reveal all before Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim does,” he said, referring to the prime minister. “I basically sabotaged Anwar’s plans (to use these issues) against us.”
He argued his exposés prevent rivals from politicising the matter in future elections and questioned whether Bersatu is truly serious about fighting corruption or selectively silent.
Chegubard also criticised the opposition’s slow response to government issues, insisting his criticism strengthens rather than destabilises the party.
Yesterday (Dec 26), Negri Sembilan Bersatu urged top leadership to discipline him. —  Focus Malaysia
