KANGAR – The action of former Arau Bersatu division chief Ameir Hassan to quit the party is his personal decision and has nothing to do with any quarters, said acting division chief Megat Hashirat Hassan.
Megat Hashirat – who was the Arau Bersatu division deputy chief – said he is given the mandate to serve as acting division chief based on the decision made by the party’s top leadership through a letter issued on October 22.
“I will continue to work hard with the new leadership to strengthen Arau Bersatu and the entire party machinery in Perlis because our main focus is to assist the people.
“Bersatu in Arau is already strong. So, let’s forget the past and continue our struggle to care for the people,” he told reporters after attending the Arau Bersatu division meeting here last night.
Megat Hashirat said the division will also support Perlis Bersatu chairman Abu Bakar Hamzah in the effort to win the hearts of the people in the state.
On October 21, it was reported that Ameir – who was also Perlis Bersatu deputy chief – had announced his decision to quit the party effective October 15, and had submitted his resignation letter to party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. – Bernama, October 26, 2021
