PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said the party’s central working committee decided to terminate the memberships of Saad Seman (Chuping), Fakhrul Anwar Ismail (Bintong), and Ridzuan Hashim (Guar Sanji) during a meeting today.
“The decision will be officially communicated to the speaker of the Perlis state legislative assembly in accordance with Article 50A(1)(a)(ii) of the Perlis Constitution (Amendment) 2022,” he said.
Hadi said the trio’s memberships were terminated in line with the party’s constitution, which states that the membership of a person elected as an assemblyman is immediately terminated if the member joins or declares support for any party or faction that opposes the directives or stance of PAS.
He said the termination was also in line with a clause in the party’s constitution which dealt with disciplinary rules for PAS members.
The trio were among the eight Perikatan Nasional assemblymen who allegedly submitted statutory declarations (SDs) to the Raja of Perlis declaring that they no longer backed Shukri, with the other five purportedly from Bersatu.
The 15-member Perlis assembly comprises nine PAS assemblymen, including Shukri, five from Bersatu and one from PKR.
PH’s sole representative in the state assembly, PKR’s Gan Ay Ling, is also believed to have submitted an SD to the ruler.
A source told FMT on Monday that Bersatu was behind a move to oust Shukri, seeking to wrest control of the state and install its own menteri besar.
However, Perlis PN chairman Shahidan Kassim yesterday denied claims that the eight PN assemblymen were involved in an orchestrated move to unseat Shukri as menteri besar. - FMT
