Ousted Bersatu deputy president says Reset is first step toward correction and rebuilding opposition.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ousted Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin (pic) has urged party members and supporters to embrace a “Reset” as a first step toward rebuilding the opposition, framing it as a movement for collective improvement rather than personal gain.

In a statement after attending Saturday’s “Reset” event at the Universiti Malaya Alumni Association (PAUM) clubhouse, Hamzah said the initiative is more than a slogan or show of support for any individual.

“Reset is not merely a slogan or a manifestation of support for any particular individual.

It is a starting point towards correction and improvement.

“(This) will form the foundation for rebuilding collective strength, for a clearer and more convincing future for the nation,” he wrote in a Facebook post today.

He added that Reset demands “courage, honesty and determination to implement change,” warning against dwelling on past mistakes.

“Reset is not about looking back with regret, but about stepping forward with confidence,” he said.

He urged all members — at division, state, and parliamentary levels — to translate the spirit of reset into concrete action.

“Because in the end, ‘reset’ requires commitment, trust and sincere responsibility.

Reset for religion, race and the nation.”

Hamzah also expressed his gratitude to friends that attended the event at PAUM, especially Bersatu vice president Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee and fellow MPs who invited him as the Leader of the Opposition.

The statement comes amid an intensifying leadership crisis in Bersatu.

On Friday, Hamzah and several MPs were sacked in what party president Muhyiddin Yassin insisted was not arbitrary, stressing that disciplinary action is never taken lightly.

Despite the sackings, Hamzah and his supporters — including MPs and division chiefs — attended the “Reset” event the next day, openly declaring “war” against Muhyiddin and calling for a reset of the party’s direction and leadership.
