PETALING JAYA: The younger sister of Hamidah Osman, the PPBM vice-president who resigned from the year-old party yesterday, says she will also leave the opposition party.

Hamizura Osman revealed this on her Facebook page when she said “yes” in reply to a question on whether she planned to quit after sharing PPBM’s official statement on her sister’s resignation.

“Ikut sekali (Follow suit),” she replied when asked when she would leave the party.

Hamizura also said she would not re-join Umno or PKR, which is PPBM’s fellow component in Pakatan Harapan (PH).

“God willing, I will not make a U-turn,” she said, referring to any move to go back to Umno.

On Sept 13, Hamizura stirred controversy when she made an allegedly racist statement on Facebook.

The PPBM ordinary member said in the quest to topple Barisan Nasional (BN), the Malays should not allow the Chinese to “step” on them as Malaysia belonged to the Malays.

She apologised later that same day after her post drew angry comments and condemnation from some party leaders as well as from PH partners.

Hamidah said she had chided Hamizura for the remarks and distanced herself from the controversial statement.

If Hamizura does leave the party soon, she will be the third member to do so in a short span after Hamidah and former supreme council member Anina Saadudin.

Anina had yesterday also announced she had quit the party which she helped found a year ago, claiming she was mistreated by PPBM.

Among her complaints were that she was removed from the party leaders’ Whatsapp chat group without any notification and that she was not invited to PPBM’s first anniversary celebration on Sept 9.
