JOHOR BARU, April 30 — Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s (Bersatu) Tebrau division chief Mazlan Bujang appears set to become the party’s new Johor state liaison chairman to replace former mentri besar Datuk Osman Sapian.Mazlan’s appointment would be a departure from the convention in which the mentri besar or chief minister would typically helm the party’s state chapter.A Bersatu source confirmed that Mazlan will be named to lead the party’s Johor chapter soon but dismissed claims that this will undermine newJohor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal’s position in the party.“The accepted practice will normally see the mentri besar of chief minister appointed by the party’s central leadership as the state party chairman. However, it is also not wrong to offer the position to an eligible party member.“Mazlan is seen as capable in bringing Johor forward for Bersatu as he has proven himself with strong grassroots support and loyalty to the party,” the source told Malay Mail today.Dr Sahruddin is currently the Johor Bersatu secretary, which is an appointed post.  He does not have an elected position within his own branch or division in the party.The same source also said Mazlan, who is Puteri Wangsa assemblyman, has been endorsed for the position as the Bersatu senior leadership acknowledged his role as an instrumental advocate of the party’s interests in Johor.
