PETALING JAYA: Former Bersatu Supreme Council member Rais Hussin has announced his departure from the party he co-founded in 2015.
Rais, who said he handed in his resignation letter yesterday, added that he has not been active in the party since 2020 following a heart procedure, and also due to his focus on developing the EMIR Research think tank.
“Although I am not a member of Bersatu, I will still actively pursue my struggle for a better Malaysia based on five core principles: reforms, justice, inclusiveness, progressiveness, and wasatiyyah (justly balanced approach),” he said in a statement.
“This is what led me to co-found Bersatu then despite the monumental tasks ahead.”
