PETALING JAYA: All Bersatu members are strictly warned not to participate in any form of meetings or gatherings organised by those expelled by the Disciplinary Board.
Such a directive was said in a circular issued by Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Azmin Ali on Friday (Feb 13), following the expulsion of several party leaders, including deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
“It must be remembered that it is an offence for any party member to collude with individuals or groups acting against the party constitution, or to utter abusive words that tarnish the good name and dignity of the party.
“Therefore, all Bersatu members are strictly warned not to participate in any form of meetings or gatherings organised by those expelled by the Disciplinary Board.
“According to Clause 9.1.1 of the party constitution, every member has the responsibility to uphold the principles and objectives of the party and to safeguard its policies. Clause 9.1.4 further emphasises that every member must comply with the party constitution as well as the Code of Ethics and Conduct,” he said.
The Disciplinary Board has decided that Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin and several individuals are stripped of their membership rights under Clause 22.5, effective Friday (Feb 13).
The members were sacked for breaching Clause 9.1.4 of the party’s constitution.
Azmin also added that those found in violation of these provisions may result in disciplinary action as stipulated under Clause 22.1 of the Party Constitution.
“I seek the cooperation of all leaders and members to uphold the Party Constitution and to cherish Bersatu as an inclusive and progressive platform for the future of the people and our beloved nation of Malaysia.
“Let us continue to pray that Bersatu’s struggle will be blessed,” he added.
