Four Members of Parliament from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) have lodged a formal complaint with the Registrar of Societies (RoS), alleging the party lacks the necessary quorum for its Supreme Leadership Council (MPT) meetings. The MPs submitted their grievance on July 13.
According to the party's constitution, an MPT meeting requires at least 25 members to form a quorum out of a total of 49. The complaining MPs claim that Bersatu's current MPT has only 23 members, falling short by two individuals.
Perikatan Nasional (PN) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan stated that he issued a show-cause letter to Bersatu's Secretary-General on July 14, demanding an explanation within two days regarding the quorum issue. He noted that the party has yet to provide a response.
Takiyuddin emphasized that the interpretation and claims regarding the quorum are based on the allegations of the four MPs and await determination by the RoS. The situation raises questions about the internal governance and decision-making capacity of Bersatu.
Bersatu until now has not provided an answer to the show-cause letter.
