In Johor, more than 300 Tanjung Piai Bersatu members quit in growing discontent with leadership

PONTIAN, Feb 7 — Following growing discontent within Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Johor divisions, the Tanjung Piai division became the biggest casualty after more than 300 members officially defected to Parti Warisan (Warisan) here last night.

Many of the former members, including key office bearers such as committee members as well as polling district centre (PDM) heads, have thrown the division on the brink of collapse.

The mass defection from Bersatu to Warisan was led by the division’s former secretary Hishamuddin Busri, treasurer Mohd Rashid Alfred Abdul Rahman Heinrich and other ex-division leaders.

This latest incident involving Bersatu is reported to be the fourth after the entire Desa Harmoni branch under the Pasir Gudang division defected to Umno late Saturday night.
