A PAS member has urged Bersatu to take firm and immediate action against five of its Perlis assemblypersons accused of signing statutory declarations (SDs) to withdraw support for the state menteri besar.
In a statement today, PAS central information committee member Nurul Islam Yusoff said the Perlis political crisis began after reports emerged that eight state assemblypersons - comprising five from Bersatu and three from PAS - no longer backed Menteri Besar Shukri Ramli.
He pointed out that PAS had summoned its three assemblypersons - Saad Seman (Chuping), Fakhrul Anwar Ismail (Bintong), and Ridzuan Hashim (Guar Sanji) - who then admitted to signing the SDs.
“Based on their own admissions, PAS took disciplinary action, and their memberships were terminated immediately under Clause 15A of the PAS Constitution.
“Once their memberships were terminated, their seats were automatically vacated in accordance with Article 50A(1)(a)(ii) of the Perlis state constitution,” Nurul Islam (above) said.
Earlier today, Berita Harian quoted Fakhrul as defending his actions along with the two others.
“Our actions are right in our judgment and wrong for those with different views.
“What is certain is that the MB’s action has indeed weakened PAS in Perlis. He must be changed.
“Wait until the new menteri besar is appointed, then we will list them,” he said without elaborating.

‘Act decisively’
Nurul Islam further said that Bersatu should similarly summon its five assembly members to determine whether they had signed the SDs.
“If they did not, Bersatu should immediately issue a statement declaring that its assembly members never signed any SDs, continue to support the leadership of Shukri, and will defend the Perlis state government,” he said.
However, he added that if the five did sign the SDs, Bersatu must act decisively, as PAS had done.
He pointed out that Bersatu had previously expelled six of its MPs and one assemblyperson, and in the latter case had written to the Kelantan state assembly speaker to vacate the Nenggiri seat.

“Why can’t the same be done in the Perlis case?” he asked.
Nurul Islam described the actions of the five Bersatu assemblypersons as a clear attempt to bring down the Perikatan Nasional-led Perlis government, calling it an act of sabotage against the PAS menteri besar.
“If Bersatu fails to act, it will send the wrong signal and be seen as undermining unity within PN,” he said, adding that such inaction would reflect weakness in Bersatu’s leadership and discipline.
