Stop talking about camps in Bersatu, says Mas Ermieyati

PETALING JAYA: Wanita Bersatu chief Mas Ermieyati Samsudin has called for a stop to the practice of labelling leaders within Bersatu as being from different camps.

She said such views created a negative perception of Bersatu, hindered efforts to strengthen unity among its leadership and grassroots members, and threatened the party’s survival, reported Berita Harian.

“This perception needs to be corrected … I am not from Hamzah Zainudin’s camp; I am from the party,” she said.

“Labels like this are unfair, not just to me but to any other leader. If we love the party, we shouldn’t label each other in such a way. This is also a reminder for myself.

“After the party polls, we should turn over a new leaf so that everyone can collaborate well, with open hearts … without negative perceptions.”

There are rumours of two camps in Bersatu, one aligned with Hamzah and the other aligned with Selangor Bersatu chief Azmin Ali.

The recent election results for the Bersatu Youth, Wanita, and Wanita Youth wings were said to be influenced by these two camps.

Mas Ermieyati, who is also the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, was named the new Wanita chief on Monday after its incumbent, Rina Harun, decided not to defend the post.

He will remain at the party’s helm, aided by Hamzah as deputy president, with Ronald Kiandee, Radzi Jidin and Ahmad Faizal Azumu slated to take the three vice-president’s posts.

The nominations confirmed early this month saw Muhyiddin and Hamzah take the top two spots unchallenged, while six candidates – Kiandee, Radzi, Faizal, Selangor Bersatu deputy chief Rafiq Abdullah, Bersatu information chief Razali Idris and Batu Kawan Bersatu chief Aziss Zainal Abiddin – are in the running for the three vice-president’s posts.

Azmin is expected to replace Hamzah as secretary-general.
