KUALA LUMPUR: A supreme council member of Bersatu has questioned the transparency and integrity of the party’s disciplinary process after he was dismissed without what he described as a fair hearing. Datuk Zulkifli Bujang, who is also the Johor Baru division chief, said he only received the summons to appear before the party’s disciplinary board while he was overseas on a pre-scheduled engagement. However, Zulkifli said the party proceeded with the decision to expel him without convening any disciplinary hearing or giving him reasonable space to defend himself. The dismissal was formally communicated to him via a letter sent through WhatsApp late on Friday evening. Zulkifli was among 17 dismissed from Bersatu, which included party deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin along with three other MPs following disciplinary action.
