Wan Saiful Will Explain Sd Move To Bersatu Disciplinary Board

---

 


Wan Saiful Wan Jan has confirmed a move to collect statutory declarations (SD) from Bersatu division chiefs, which purportedly sought a party leadership change ahead of Bersatu’s annual general meeting on Sept 9.
However, the Bersatu supreme council member claimed that some people twisted the narrative on what it was for.
“The part about the SD collection is true, but I believe certain quarters had twisted the story about its true intention and what it aimed to achieve.
“Let me meet the party’s disciplinary board and explain to them first before commenting further,” the Tasek Gelugor MP said.
Malaysiakini contacted Wan Saiful this morning to confirm the authenticity of a viral WhatsApp message that claimed he had been summoned to appear before the Bersatu disciplinary board today.
According to the message, Wan Saiful was being investigated under Article 23 of the Bersatu constitution for allegedly being involved in collecting SDs from Bersatu leaders to push for party president Muhyiddin Yassin to be replaced with his deputy Hamzah Zainudin.

“(What happened) was not as what had been manipulated by some people, and I will explain this to the disciplinary board.
“I hope they will make a rational consideration,” he added.
Suppot for Hamzah
Earlier this month, Malaysiakini reported on an alleged attempt by certain party leaders to pressure Muhyiddin into handing over Bersatu’s helm to Hamzah, who is the opposition chief.
The power play appeared to have gathered some steam after some 120 Bersatu division chiefs purportedly signed the SD backing Hamzah.
Muhyiddin then revealed during his policy speech at the party’s AGM on Sept 9 that there was a plot to collect signatures to oust him, causing chaos to erupt.
However, the AGM later concluded with Muhyiddin’s position secured, as delegates unanimously passed a resolution to name him as Bersatu’s prime minister candidate. - Mkini
