KUALA LUMPUR – Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) has officially expelled two of its division chiefs, Mohd Shukor Mustaffa and Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Ghazali, over their involvement in alleged disruptions at the party’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and violations of its constitution.
In a notice dated November 17, 2025, Disciplinary Board Chairman Datuk Mohd Radzi Manan confirmed the expulsion of Mohd Shukor, former head of the Puchong division, for breaching Clause 9.1.4 of Bersatu’s constitution.
The expulsion, effective immediately, was based on his involvement in planning disturbances during the AGM. He is allowed to appeal the decision within 14 days.
Similarly, Suhaimi, the former head of Bersatu’s Sepang division, faced expulsion under Clause 22.5 of the party’s constitution, also for violating Clause 9.1.4. This decision follows the disciplinary board’s deliberation on November 6, 2025, and is effective immediately.
Suhaimi is also given the option to appeal within the same 14-day window.
These expulsions are part of a wider wave of disciplinary actions within the party. Earlier this year, Bersatu dismissed several high-ranking members, including Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, a member of the party’s Supreme Council, and suspended Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, the Member of Parliament for Machang, for one term.
Four other members, Mohd Azrudin Md Idris, Mohd Faizal Asmar, Mohd Fahdli Ismail, and Mohd Isa Mohd Saidi, were also expelled.
In an interview with Big Boom Media’s Podcast Trick Lama, Wan Saiful described the actions against the expelled members as “cruel” and accused the disciplinary panel of bias.
He claimed the panel’s questioning went beyond the alleged offences, exploring an unsubstantiated conspiracy, with specific references to the role of Bersatu’s Deputy President, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.
The disciplinary proceedings, originally scheduled for early November, were delayed to allow for further examination of the allegations and evidence. A new date for the hearings will be announced.
In addition to the expulsions, calls for leadership change within Bersatu have grown. Suhaimi, in his statement recently, urged party President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to step down in order to restore stability and unity within the party.
He claimed that the push for Muhyiddin’s resignation came not only from several party leaders but also from grassroots members dissatisfied with the handling of internal conflicts and the decline in support for the party’s president.
“Should Tan Sri Muhyiddin step down now, it would be seen as an honourable action and demonstrate leadership that prioritises the party over personal interests,” Suhaimi said.
He warned that if Muhyiddin clung to his position without majority support, Bersatu could face further fragmentation, weakening its political strength ahead of upcoming elections.
Suhaimi added that the call for Muhyiddin’s resignation was not driven by animosity but as a final opportunity for the party to reorganise its leadership, restore trust among members, and rebuild public confidence in Bersatu’s cause. – November 17, 2025
