PETALING JAYA: Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan) has appointed former Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin as its president as part of a newly announced central leadership structure that brings together veteran politicians, former ministers, MPs and professionals.
Veteran politician and former minister Rais Yatim was appointed chairman, while former Johor Bersatu associate wing chief Tan Lek Khang was chosen as deputy chairman during the party’s extraordinary general meeting here yesterday.
Former Melaka chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik, Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan, and former Parti Cinta Malaysia president Huan Cheng Guan are among the party’s vice-presidents.
Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah and Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal were appointed secretary-general and information chief respectively.
Wawasan also announced the appointment of 25 committee members, including Gerik MP Fathul Huzair Ayob, Padang Rengas MP Azahari Hasan, former UiTM vice-chancellor Ibrahim Shah Abu Shah and former Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng.
Hamzah, Wan Saiful, Wan Ahmad Fayhsal, Saifuddin, Huzair and Azahari are among former Bersatu leaders who were recently sacked from the party.
Larut MP Hamzah, who launched Wawasan on June 13, revealed that the name was given by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
The party’s leadership list also included its registration number with the Registrar of Societies Malaysia (RoS), PPM-004-07-08062009.
On Wednesday, Hamzah said questions surrounding Wawasan’s legitimacy should not arise as the party had only undergone a name change.
“I only took over an existing party and changed its name,” he said after meeting with opposition MPs in Kuala Lumpur.
Hamzah is expected to address the party’s registration during a press conference in Parliament tomorrow afternoon.
