PUTRAJAYA: There are no cartels within Bersatu, so its Selat Kelang assemblyman Datuk Abdul Rashid Asari should not make such claims, says party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"Don't look for an excuse after you made a big mistake," he said, referring to Abdul Rashid's declaration of support for Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari on March 6.
“Making accusations against the party is an irresponsible act,” he told reporters after submitting Bersatu’s constitution amendments at the Registrar of Societies headquarters in Putrajaya on Monday (March 11).
Muhyiddin stressed that Bersatu functions according to its party constitution.
“Abdul Rashid was the (Selangor) Bersatu chairman so if there were a cartel, it would be his,” Muhyiddin said.
Abdul Rashid was quoted by a news portal as claiming that Selangor Bersatu was under the influence of a cartel headed by a leader who recently joined the party.
Without naming names, he said this was among the reasons he declared support for Amirudin and the Selangor government.
However, he said he remained a committed Bersatu member.
