Wan Fayhsal told a press conference at the Parliament complex that he had no plans to join another party, Berita Harian reported.
“For now, I will continue fighting to reform Bersatu. God willing, Allah will help us because we have done nothing wrong,” he was quoted as saying.
On Oct 14, it was reported that Bersatu had sacked Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan and suspended Wan Fayhsal for violating the party’s constitution and code of conduct.
Bersatu’s disciplinary board also expelled four division chiefs – Azrudin Idris (Hang Tuah Jaya), Faizal Asmar (Pengerang), Fadhli Ismail (Ipoh Timur) and Isa Saidi (Ampang).
Last week, Wan Fayhsal did not rule out the possibility of joining PAS when asked whether he and the group of supporters aligned with Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin would consider joining the Islamic party if Bersatu’s leadership crisis remained unresolved.
However, PAS vice-president Amar Nik Abdullah said the party had yet to discuss the matter as it concerned Bersatu’s internal affairs. Moreover, he said, Wan Fayhsal had not submitted any application to join PAS.
On claims that several Bersatu MPs were planning to submit a memorandum urging Muhyiddin Yassin to resign as party president, Wan Fayhsal said he had no knowledge of such a move.
“I don’t know because I didn’t sign such a memorandum. I’m not involved in whatever other Bersatu MPs are doing.
“Perhaps some may want to send one…I have already spoken up, as has Wan Saiful, over calls for the president to step down,” he said.
Wan Fayhsal admitted that he was among those who had said Muhyiddin was no longer relevant as party president during an earlier meeting of the party’s youth wing.
“I admit I was one of those in the wing’s meeting who said ‘Abah’ (Muhyiddin) is no longer relevant – but I said it in the meeting, not outside.
“Why? Just look at Bersatu’s performance in the Johor and Melaka elections,” he said.
In the Johor state assembly, Bersatu holds only two of the 56 seats, while in Melaka, the party has two out of 28 seats.
