The Larut MP addresses questions surrounding Parti Wawasan Negara's legitimacy
Hamzah Zainudin launched Parti Wawasan Negara on June 13, saying the name had been given by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
KUALA LUMPUR: Hamzah Zainudin said questions surrounding the legitimacy of his new party, Parti Wawasan Negara, should not arise as it had only undergone a name change.
“I only took over an existing party and changed its name,” the Larut MP told reporters after attending a meeting with opposition MPs here tonight.
Hamzah launched Wawasan on June 13 and revealed that the name had been given by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.
Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal had previously revealed that Hamzah would take over an existing party.
Yesterday, Registrar of Societies (RoS) director-general Zulfikar Ahmad said it has yet to receive any official application for the formation of a new political party using the name Parti Wawasan Negara.
On Sunday, Parti Sedar Rakyat Sarawak claimed that it had already approved amendments to change its name to Parti Wawasan Rakyat, potentially clashing with Hamzah’s Wawasan.
Sedar president Affendi Jeman urged RoS to address the issue, since the party officially applied to change its name on April 8.
Separately, Hulu Terengganu MP Rosol Wahid told reporters tonight’s meeting did not discuss Bersatu’s expulsion from Perikatan Nasional.
“We discussed the opposition leader’s post (and) our direction for the state polls. We agreed that Hamzah should be retained as the opposition leader,” he said.
Bersatu’s status in the opposition coalition has come into question after PAS decided to sever ties with the Muhyiddin Yassin-led party.

Which "existing party"??? Stop kerbau-ing. Hamzah, you'll be in trouble with your so-called Wawasan Party - RoS will see to that. Looks like you may have to stand in any election as PAS candidates, wakakaka.
