KUALA LUMPUR — Following his recent expulsion from Bersatu, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin has spoken out, emphasising that the “Reset” movement is not about a single person, but about revitalising collective strength and forging a clearer path for the future of Malaysia.
Hamzah, who is also the Opposition Leader and Member of Parliament for Larut, urged leaders and elected officials across all levels — from state assemblies to division ranks — who support the “Reset” movement to translate its principles into tangible outcomes.
“This initiative marks the beginning of a process of correction and renewal,” Hamzah said. “It serves as the foundation for rebuilding a more united front and provides a clearer vision for Malaysia’s future.”
He added, “The responsibility now rests with all comrades in struggle, whether at division level, in state assemblies, in Parliament or across every tier of the organisation, to turn the spirit of ‘Reset’ into tangible action.”
For Hamzah, the movement requires commitment, integrity, and accountability, and he stated that its core values are centred on religion, race, and nation.
Last Friday, Hamzah was expelled from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia after the party’s Disciplinary Board invoked Clause 22.5 of its constitution. Alongside Hamzah, four other Bersatu figures were dismissed, including Members of Parliament Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal (Machang), Kapten Azahari Hasan (Padang Rengas), and Fathul Huzir Ayob (Gerik), as well as state assemblymen Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharudin (Sungai Manik) and Dr Mohd Yadzil Yaakub (Bemban).
The day after his expulsion, Hamzah attended a political briefing titled “Direction and Political Reset,” which was reportedly attended by 19 Bersatu MPs.
In his statement, Hamzah stressed that “Reset” is not a mere slogan or an endorsement of any particular figure, but rather a call for bravery, honesty, and a collective effort to create meaningful change.
“Reset is not about looking back with regret, but stepping forward with confidence,” he remarked.
He also expressed his gratitude to the party leaders, former leaders, and supporters who attended the event at the Persatuan Alumni Universiti Malaya (PAUM) Clubhouse.
“I was deeply moved by the presence of friends at PAUM recently. My highest appreciation and thanks go to the organiser, Bersatu vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee, as well as fellow MPs who invited me in my capacity as Opposition Leader,” he said.
He added, “Many friends from across the country attended, including those from outside political parties and non-governmental organisations. This proves that the values behind this struggle cannot be obstructed by any party.” – February 18, 2026
