Wan Fayhsal said they received letters from the party’s disciplinary board late last night.

He also accused the board of acting with bias and “selective efficiency”, claiming that two of its four members had familial or professional ties with top Bersatu leaders.

“They should have recused themselves,” he said at a press conference in Parliament, joined by Wan Saiful.

He said their accusers were not present when they appeared before the disciplinary board, claiming that this was unfair to them.

Wan Fayhsal also compared his current suspension to his six-month suspension from the Dewan Rakyat without referral to the rights and privileges committee, calling it deja vu.

“The process of justice is not happening at all,” he said, insisting that both he and Wan Saiful remain loyal to Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional.

“Something not good is happening in our party. Yesterday, the opposition leader’s debate speech was very good and well received by the people. But today, this news buries that momentum,” he said.

Wan Saiful said they would study the board’s decision and grounds before deciding whether to file an appeal, insisting that they were both “on the side of truth”.

“Some people are using their positions and power to pressure us, but we will go through the process properly,” he said.

“Bersatu doesn’t belong to any one individual. It especially cannot be used by anyone to save themselves or their family.”

Wan Fayhsal and Wan Saiful also claimed that the disciplinary action against them was rushed, as the investigation was completed in less than a week.

Wan Saiful said he had lodged his own complaints that had yet to be acted on, including one against party secretary-general Azmin Ali.

“I made a disciplinary complaint against Azmin recently. We’ll see if this efficiency is consistent or selective,” he said.

He added that he was officially considered an independent MP following his sacking from Bersatu, pending a possible appeal.
