MACHANG Member of Parliament Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal has declared that he accepts his expulsion from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia with composure and without regret, insisting that his actions were guided by religious conviction and a sense of leadership responsibility rather than emotion.
“Alhamdulillah, I do not regret and am not in the least disappointed to accept this fate and decision to expel me in this manner. Thank you. The journey continues,” he said in a Facebook post on Saturday, shortly after the party confirmed his dismissal.
Wan Ahmad Fayhsal, a former chief of Bersatu’s youth wing, was expelled with immediate effect on Friday for allegedly breaching Clause 9.1.4 of the party constitution. His removal comes amid widening internal tensions within Bersatu’s top ranks.
In explaining his position, the MP said his decision to support deputy president Hamzah Zainudin while ceasing to defend party president Muhyiddin Yassin was based on principle rather than personal grievance.
“This decision was not born of emotion, but is grounded in religious obligations and the leadership trust that I carry,” he wrote.
He disclosed that over the past three years he had sought to advise and counsel Muhyiddin privately during several personal meetings, but claimed that no meaningful change had materialised.
Wan Ahmad Fayhsal further expressed disappointment that, in his view, the party’s highest leadership had failed to respond adequately to the sensitivities of Malay-Muslim voters, whom he described as clearly rejecting leaders of questionable moral character.
He argued that neglecting these principles had weakened Perikatan Nasional’s overall strength and preparedness, particularly affecting the machinery of Parti Islam Se-Malaysia, which places strong emphasis on religious values in political struggle.
From a leadership standpoint, he also alleged that Muhyiddin had taken a hands-off approach to party management, with many responsibilities effectively carried by Hamzah.
The Machang MP stressed that loyalty to a leader has limits and must not supersede religious principles or personal integrity, signalling that his break with the party’s top leadership was, in his view, a matter of conscience rather than ambition. - February 14, 2026
