Hamzah: Muhyiddin is my number one enemy | The Star
- Bersatu issued dismissal notices Friday to 17 members including Hamzah
- Hamzah Zainudin declared Tan Sri Muhyiddin his “number one enemy”
- saying that he is now a free man to continue his own political struggles
- Bersatu vice-president Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee, also present
- Hamzah, who is Larut MP, said he is now focused on his duty as Opposition Leader.
- “I have been sacked and I will leave the party. I will never submit an appeal.
- “If the party no longer needs me, then farewell Bersatu.”
- Hamzah regarded what had happened to him as a blessing in disguise.
- continue being the Opposition Leader.
- I have the support of 19 out of 25 Bersatu MPs
- “There are 168 active Bersatu divisions and we have 118 with us now.
- “What does that say for the support for Muhyiddin?” claimed Kiandee
The same day that Hamzah Zainuddin was fired from Bersatu, he was in Rusila Terengganu having lunch with Pas president Hadi Awang, YB Thakiyuddin and other Pas people (PICTURE ABOVE). Considering that Pas nominates the leader of the Opposition in Parliament (on account of their 40+ Parliamentary seats) the éndorsement' by Hadi Awang will ensure that Hamzah Zainuddin shall remain leader of the Opposition in Parliament.
This places Bersatu (with only SIX MPs on its side) in a quandary. What does this mean? It means Bersatu has been 'kembiri'. Kembiri means they have had their cojones snipped off.
Bersatu is an opposition party but the man they have just fired from the party will still continue to be the leader of the Opposition - speaking on behalf of Bersatu as well (in the Opposition bench).
Bersatu will have to get used to being 'kembiri' because in their midst there is a semb*rit fellow who has undue influence in the party. This escapade is being blamed on this semb*rit fellow.
Sadly over the past 30 years Malay politics has seen an undue presence of semb*rits, pintu belakangs and lesbos - something which the community seems to tolerate.
Back to Hamzah Zainuddin - he has a genuine following not only in Bersatu (his "former party") but that 19 Bersatu MPs who support Hamzah, plus other ADUNs represents real support.
Sad to say Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin does not have the same number.
Dato Sri Hamzah is in a good position to form a new party - or take over an existing one. Those 118 active Bersatu divisions (out of 168) can easily flip and join a new party led by Hamzah Zainuddin. Plus those 19 MPs will give them an instant presence in Parliament - not withstanding that really stupid Anti Hopping law.
Hamzah Zainuddin is known to think fast and act fast. Strike while the iron is still hot.
