Perikatan seeks talks with Perlis MB Abu Bakar snookered by two-term Bersatu suspension

Perikatan Nasional aims to address the political crisis in Perlis by engaging in direct talks with Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah, following his suspension from Bersatu.

PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan has requested an urgent meeting to mitigate the impact of Abu Bakar's disciplinary sanction and ensure state governance stability.

Despite Abu Bakar's suspension, he remains a Bersatu member, limiting his political maneuverability, as he cannot transfer to another party without engaging in party-hopping.

The crisis persists despite royal intervention supporting Abu Bakar's administration amid intra-party conflicts that led to a reshuffle of leadership roles.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) leadership is aiming to broker a resolution to the political crisis in Perlis, seeking direct talks with Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah following his two-term suspension from Bersatu.

PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan confirmed that he has officially written to Abu Bakar to request an urgent meeting to navigate the fallout from the disciplinary sanction and safeguard the stability of the state administration, NST reported.

"The discussions will focus on resolving ongoing issues, as PAS still supports the state government despite not being part of the state administration," he told a press conference following the Himpunan dan Munajat Penyatuan Ummah gathering in Kota Bharu last night.

Takiyuddin, who also serves as PAS secretary-general, noted that while Bersatu's disciplinary board had frozen Abu Bakar's party rights, the embattled state chief technically remains a Bersatu member.

He noted that this restricts Abu Bakar from seeking refuge outside of Bersatu.

"He cannot join another party, otherwise it would be party-hopping," he said.

Abu Bakar, who also heads the Kangar Bersatu division, was handed a two-election-term suspension after the party's disciplinary tribunal found him guilty of constitutional breaches. The punitive action sparked renewed questions over the viability of his leadership in the country's smallest state.

The crisis comes despite a royal intervention in June, when the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail, decreed that Abu Bakar should be given the necessary space and latitude to administer Perlis until the conclusion of the state legislative assembly's current mandate.

That royal guidance followed a fractious internal revolt last December, when five Bersatu assemblymen teamed up with three rebel PAS lawmakers to withdraw confidence from then-menteri besar Mohd Shukri Ramli of PAS.

The resulting reshuffle saw Bersatu wrest the menteri besar post for Abu Bakar, prompting an aggrieved PAS leadership to pull out of the state executive council entirely and leave the administration operating without formal PAS representation in government.

国盟旨在通过与土团党停职后的州务大臣阿布巴卡韩查进行直接对话来解决玻璃市的政治危机。

国民联盟秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁·哈桑已要求召开紧急会议，以减轻阿布·巴卡尔受到纪律处分的影响，并确保州政府的稳定。

尽管阿布·巴卡尔已被停职，但他仍然是土著团结党的成员，这限制了他的政治活动空间，因为他不能转投其他政党而不进行跳槽。

尽管王室出面干预，支持阿布·巴卡尔政府，但危机依然持续，党内冲突导致领导层改组。

吉隆坡，10月24日——国民联盟（PN）领导层的目标是调解玻璃市政治危机的解决方案，寻求与被土团党停职两届的州务大臣阿布巴卡韩查直接对话。

据《新海峡时报》报道，国民联盟秘书长拿督斯里达基尤丁·哈桑证实，他已正式致函阿布·巴卡尔，要求召开紧急会议，以应对纪律处分带来的影响，并维护州政府的稳定。

“尽管伊斯兰党并非州政府的一部分，但它仍然支持州政府，因此讨论将集中在解决当前的问题上，”他在昨晚哥打巴鲁举行的穆斯林团结大会后召开的新闻发布会上表示。

同时也是伊斯兰党秘书长的塔基尤丁指出，虽然土著团结党的纪律委员会冻结了阿布·巴卡尔的党权，但这位陷入困境的州主席在技术上仍然是土著团结党的成员。

他指出，这限制了阿布·巴卡尔在土著团结党之外寻求庇护。

“他不能加入其他政党，否则就成了跳槽了，”他说。

阿布·巴卡尔同时也是加央土著团结党区部的负责人，因违反党章，被党内纪律法庭裁定犯有违宪行为，并被处以两届选举任期的停职处分。这一惩罚措施再次引发了人们对他能否继续领导这个马来西亚最小州的质疑。

尽管在 6 月份进行了皇家干预，玻璃市州拉惹端姑赛西拉祖丁布特拉贾马鲁莱尔下令给予阿布巴卡尔必要的空间和自主权来管理玻璃市，直到州立法议会的当前任期结束，但危机依然存在。

此前，去年 12 月发生了一场激烈的内部叛乱，五名土著团结党州议员与三名叛变的伊斯兰党议员联合起来，撤回了对时任伊斯兰党州务大臣莫哈末·舒克里·拉姆利的信任。

由此引发的改组中，土著团结党为阿布·巴卡尔夺得了州务大臣一职，这激怒了伊斯兰党领导层，他们彻底退出了州行政委员会，导致州政府在没有伊斯兰党正式代表的情况下运作。
