Five Bersatu divisions in Melaka dissolved with immediate effect, citing loss of confidence in the party’s top leadership under Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

MELAKA: Five Bersatu divisions in the state have been dissolved with immediate effect. The divisions are Masjid Tanah, Hang Tuah Jaya, Tangga Batu, Alor Gajah and Jasin.

The dissolution also involves all related committees, wings, and branches. Melaka Bersatu chairman Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik announced his resignation from all party positions.

He said the decision was made unanimously and voluntarily after confidence in the party’s top leadership could no longer be restored. “We assert that this loss of confidence stems from the failure of the leadership of Bersatu President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the central leadership line,” he said at a press conference.

Abdul Rahim cited a failure to address the internal party crisis thoroughly and restore organisational stability. He also mentioned a lack of a clear and convincing political strategy from the central leadership.

Meanwhile, Abdul Rahim said he and his supporters would join a new political alignment that will be formed. The announcement marks a significant internal rupture for the opposition party in the state.
