KUALA LUMPUR – Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) has removed two of its division leaders — Mohd Shukor Mustaffa and Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Ghazali — following accusations that they were involved in attempts to disrupt the party’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), breaching key provisions of the party constitution.
In an official notice issued on November 17, 2025, Bersatu’s Disciplinary Board Chairman Datuk Mohd Radzi Manan confirmed that Mohd Shukor, who previously headed the Puchong division, had been expelled for violating Clause 9.1.4 of the party’s constitution. His removal takes effect immediately, although he may appeal within 14 days.
Suhaimi, the former chief of the Sepang division, was also dismissed under Clause 22.5 for the same constitutional breach. His case was deliberated by the disciplinary board on November 6, 2025, with the expulsion also effective immediately. He is similarly granted 14 days to submit an appeal.
These decisions come amid a broader crackdown within Bersatu, which has seen multiple senior figures disciplined this year. Among them were Supreme Council member Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, who was sacked, and Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, who received a one-term suspension. Four additional members — Mohd Azrudin Md Idris, Mohd Faizal Asmar, Mohd Fahdli Ismail, and Mohd Isa Mohd Saidi — were also removed from the party.
In a recent appearance on Big Boom Media’s Podcast Trick Lama, Wan Saiful criticised the disciplinary process as unfair and claimed the panel ventured into issues irrelevant to the alleged misconduct, even suggesting there was an unfounded conspiracy involving Bersatu Deputy President Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.
The disciplinary hearings, initially set for early November, were postponed to allow for further review of the allegations. A new date will be confirmed later.
Amid the ongoing turmoil, calls for leadership renewal have intensified. Suhaimi recently urged party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to resign in order to stabilise the party and regain members’ trust. He said dissatisfaction with Muhyiddin’s leadership extends not only among senior leaders but also at the grassroots level.
Suhaimi argued that stepping down voluntarily would be perceived as a dignified move that puts the party’s interests above personal considerations. He cautioned that if Muhyiddin continues without strong backing, Bersatu risks deeper internal division and further weakening ahead of future elections.
He stressed that his appeal for change was not based on personal animosity but as a final chance for Bersatu to rebuild unity, rejuvenate its leadership, and restore public confidence. – November 17, 2025
