KANGAR: Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah is still awaiting a response from Bersatu on his appeal against a two-election-term suspension from the party.
Abu Bakar said he had submitted an appeal letter directly to the party’s Disciplinary Board chairman.
“To this day, I have yet to receive any response or update from the Bersatu leadership after submitting the appeal letter directly to the Disciplinary Board chairman,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after the launch of the Perlis Progresif 2030 Development Plan, officiated by Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail.
Abu Bakar’s Bersatu membership was suspended for two election terms, effective Oct 13, following allegations that he had breached Clause 9.1.4 of the party constitution and its Code of Ethics and Conduct.
He said his focus for now remained on the development and administration of the state government.
“If the Disciplinary Board responds to my appeal, I will accept its decision. There is no problem; we will continue working as usual,” he said.
