KOTA KINABALU – Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal today denied a report that has gone viral on social media that state assemblymen from Warisan were leaving the party.
“Warisan remains strong and stable. Rumours and talk that state assemblymen from Warisan were going to leave the party is a malicious attempt of deceit to topple the party,” he said in a statement today.
Shafie said Warisan held a supreme council meeting this morning that was attended by all state assemblymen from the party. All of them had pledged their undivided loyalty to the party,” he said adding that all Warisan’s state assemblymen and supreme council members have pledged their full support to the unity government under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In a separate statement, Darau state assemblyman Azhar Matussin who is also a Warisan supreme council member also denied claims that he, together with six other state assemblymen from Warisan, would leave the party.
“This is merely a political game to create unrest among party members and confuse the rakyat, especially those from the grassroots. We (all Warisan state assemblymen) are behind the president ( Shafie),” he said. – Bernama, December 13, 2022
