According to a party source, the party had stopped paying rental for the office, where the coalition’s Supreme Council had held its meetings since PN was formed in 2020.

Asked about the matter, Bersatu’s information chief, Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, said queries should be directed to the coalition’s secretary-general, Azmin Ali.

“That matter is related to administrative issues. You may refer to Azmin for further information,” he told FMT.

FMT has sought comment from Azmin and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.

Tun Faisal denied another claim by the party source that no meetings of the PN top brass had been held since the party’s leadership reshuffle last year due to “internal tensions”.

He said the PN Supreme Council had convened at least twice this year.

“There were leadership meetings before the Ayer Kuning by-election (in April) and also when Radzi Jidin was appointed as PN information chief,” he said.

The source had claimed that PN chairman Muhyiddin Yassin and Azmin were attempting to avoid calling for a Supreme Council meeting in the face of pressure from PAS to restructure the coalition’s leadership.

PAS is said to be pushing for the presidents of PN member parties to relinquish their executive roles, and for them to form an advisory council instead.

Under this proposal, Hamzah Zainudin, the parliamentary opposition leader and Bersatu deputy president, would be made PN chairman while his number two would be one of the deputy presidents of the other parties.

Last week, Utusan Malaysia quoted Hamzah as dismissing talk that he was moving to oust Muhyiddin as Bersatu president. He also described the rumours as “nonsensical stories” spread by outsiders seeking to divide Bersatu and PN.
