Zuraida’s dream of rejoining Bersatu dashed as party rejects her application

[superadmin]

FORMER Ampang MP Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin had applied to rejoin Bersatu, a party she had resigned from last year, said a Bersatu leader.

However, Zuraida’s application was rejected on grounds that the former plantation industries and commodities minister had previously refused to step down from her ministerial post to which she had been appointed on a Bersatu quota after her resignation from the party.

“The decision to reject her application was unanimous,” Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal told FMT.

On May 26 last year, Zuraida quit the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin-led Bersatu to join Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM). She had joined Bersatu following her sacking from PKR in the wake of the Sheraton Move in 2020.

Watch your mouth, I never wanted to rejoin Bersatu, says Zuraida

PETALING JAYA: Former Ampang MP Zuraida Kamaruddin has hit out at Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal for claiming that she had applied to rejoin Bersatu, telling the Bersatu Youth chief to “watch your mouth”.

This comes after Wan Fayhsal said Zuraida had made the application earlier this year, but it was rejected since she refused to step down from her ministerial post, to which she had been appointed on a Bersatu quota, after quitting the party.
