KUALA LUMPUR: Bersatu MPs and members will discuss their Labuan colleague's decision to back Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, says Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan.
The Tasek Gelugor MP and former party information chief said an announcement will be made after the discussion, which is to be held soon.

“There will be a discussion soon among the party members and MPs.
“I believe the party will make an announcement that suits the outcome (of the discussions)," he told reporters at the Dewan Rakyat media room here on Monday (Oct 30).
This followed a statement by Bersatu’s Labuan MP Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman earlier in the day declaring his support for the unity government led by Anwar.
Suhaili said he made the decision because Labuan and its people had been suffering for years amid increasing cost of living and longstanding unresolved issues on the island.

However, Suhaili said he remains a member of Bersatu and will stay loyal to the party.
He is the second MP from the party to declare support for the unity government.
On Oct 12, Kuala Kangsar MP Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid declared his support for the Prime Minister's leadership but said he too remained with his party.
