Barisan Nasional secretary-general Annuar Musa has allegedly failed to toe the party line on matters related to Perikatan Nasional and Muafakat Nasional. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Seth Akmal, January 5, 2021.

BARISAN Nasional today sacked Annuar Musa as secretary-general, after the leadership found his views not in sync with the coalition’s lynchpin party, Umno, said sources. 

BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi informed the Federal Territories minister of the decision today. 

“He was sacked today,” a source told The Malaysian Insight on the condition of anonymity.

Another source said Annuar has not been toeing party lines and has sided with the Bersatu-led Perikatan Nasional instead of the party.

Last week, the Pasir Puteh Umno division called for Annuar’s sacking after claiming he has not respected the party president besides pre-empting party decisions. 

The motion was proposed by Pasir Puteh Umno Youth chief Muhammad Saifullah Ali at the division’s delegates’ meeting on Saturday.

Annuar also has been seen constantly defending PN over Umno in several issues which have angered several leaders, including Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi. 

Last week, Annuar also rebuked Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki for claiming Umno will no longer negotiate with PAS for seats in the 15th general election. – January 5, 2021.

  • Imagine he brings himself and 1 more friend to PH. This whole headline will change.

    • Fortunately or unfortunately it will not happen. PH doesnt need another corrupt MP in its ranks. More likely he will have no choice as he is beholden to the backdoor PM as Muhyddin has his balls, so to speak, concerning his involvement in the scam involving the sales of Mara properties in Melbourne.
