Bersatu Supreme Council member Wan Saiful Wan Jan has escalated tensions within the party, threatening to reveal which leaders have been in contact with rivals if the party leadership continues to pressure him. The Tasek Gelugor MP’s remarks follow a disciplinary hearing he attended today, as reported by Malaysiakini.
“We know who received millions [from them]. But we haven’t exposed them so far. So don’t push too hard,” Wan Saiful told reporters after the hearing, hinting at undisclosed financial dealings involving party figures.
Wan Saiful also disclosed that he had been approached with an offer to defect from Bersatu last year, which he rejected out of loyalty to the party. He claimed to have submitted evidence—including video and audio recordings, photographs, and telephone numbers—to the Parliamentary Rights and Privileges Committee to substantiate his claims.
“If I were to accept any offer from that individual, I would have done that last year,” he said, reaffirming his commitment to Bersatu.
The MP’s latest comments follow his sharp criticism of party secretary-general Azmin Ali on September 29, when he questioned Azmin’s suitability as a leader due to an unresolved controversy involving an alleged explicit video. Wan Saiful also accused Azmin of threatening division leaders over a purported plot to oust party president Muhyiddin Yassin, remarks that sparked calls for his dismissal from the party.
Commenting on today’s disciplinary hearing, Wan Saiful described it as brief, noting that he addressed the allegations against him but declined to provide further details.
Wan Fayhsal Seeks Delay in Disciplinary Proceedings
In a related development, Bersatu MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal has requested a postponement of his own disciplinary proceedings, citing a potential conflict of interest within the disciplinary board. Wan Fayhsal pointed out that the board is chaired by Radzi Abdul Manan, who is the father-in-law of vice-president Ahmad Faizal Azumu and the father of a Supreme Council member.
“I’m not running away. I’m only asking for the proceedings to be postponed so that the [disciplinary board] membership can be reorganised,” Wan Fayhsal said. “I’m prepared to defend myself, but it should be before a panel that is not biased.”
While Wan Fayhsal did not disclose the specifics of his case, he noted that it relates to an issue tied to the previous election. He stressed the need for a fair and transparent process to ensure justice within the party’s disciplinary framework.
