Bersatu suspends Labuan MP for six years


PETALING JAYA: Labuan MP Datuk Dr Suhaili Abdul Rahman has been suspended from Bersatu for six years, effective Tuesday (Nov 7).

In a statement, Bersatu secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said Suhaili had violated Section 22.1(f) of the Bersatu constitution.

"The disciplinary board unanimously used its power under Article 22.5(c) of the Bersatu Constitution to suspend Suhaili's membership, together with all positions in the party he held for a period of six years, effective Nov 7," he said in the statement posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

Earlier, Bersatu had suspended its Kuala Kangsar MP Datuk Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid for four years.

Both Suhaili and Iskandar Dzulkarnain had expressed support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's leadership, especially in efforts to uplift the country’s economy and stem the rising cost of living.

Both also said they supported Anwar in order to gain extra allocations for their constituencies.
