KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 (Bernama) -- Notice of immediate termination of party membership was served on six elected Bersatu representatives today for alleged non-compliance with Clause 10.4 of the party’s Constitution.
Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin in a statement today said the action was taken in line with the party’s Supreme Leadership Council’s directive at its meeting on June 6, which was later brought to the attention of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) Supreme Council which met yesterday.
