Bersatu leader calls for Wan Saiful’s sacking
Azmi Alang says Wan Saiful Wan Jan’s remarks about Azmin Ali are irresponsible and failing to take action will undermine Bersatu's struggle

PETALING JAYA: A Bersatu leader has urged the party leadership to sack its Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan, after the latter publicly attacked party secretary-general Azmin Ali earlier today.
Telok Ayer Tawar assemblyman Azmi Alang said Wan Saiful’s remarks were irresponsible and damaging to the party’s image and claimed that the first-term MP was chasing publicity instead of serving the rakyat.
Azmi, the Tasek Gelugor Bersatu chief, said elected representatives like Wan Saiful should argue with facts and solutions, not “cheap rhetoric”.
“I urge the party leadership to take stern action, including sacking him, in order to preserve the integrity, discipline and dignity of our struggle.
“If we fail to act, the party will be seen as weak and tolerant of immoral conduct that undermines our struggle,” he said, adding that such behaviour distracts from substantive issues and burdens the party in the long run.
In a statement, Azmi also said Wan Saiful’s actions only served their rivals with political ammunition to attack them.
This comes after Wan Saiful said Azmin is unfit to be a party leader so long as the controversy surrounding a 2019 video, purportedly of the former minister engaging in homosexual acts, remained unresolved.
Wan Saiful, a Bersatu Supreme Council member, said moral scandals cannot be tolerated in the party.
He also said he planned to refer Azmin and Bersatu information chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz to the party’s disciplinary board for allegedly threatening division leaders supposedly linked to a plot to oust Muhyiddin Yassin as Bersatu president.
