MARZUKI Yahya today confirmed that he has been sacked as the Bersatu secretary-general.

He told The Malaysian Insight the termination letter, signed by party president Muhyiddin Yassin, was delivered to him yesterday.

“Yes, I received the letter yesterday,” he said.

A copy of the letter, dated March 18, 2020, has since gone viral.

The letter did not provide a reason for the sacking, but stated that it was in accordance with the party constitution.

On whether he accepted his sacking, Marzuki said he would first have to consult party chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said he did not know if Muhyiddin had referred the matter to Dr Mahathir before taking action.

“I am not sure if he has discussed this with party chairman Dr Mahathir as required in the party constitution.

“I will have to refer to the chairman first,” he said.

Marzuki is a known staunch supporter of party founder Dr Mahathir.

Muhyiddin pulled Bersatu out of the Pakatan Harapan coalition last month which led to the fall of the government which won federal power after the 2018 general election.

Muhyiddin was subsequently appointed prime minister by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong after he reportedly showed he had majority support in parliament. – March 20, 2020.
