KUALA LUMPUR: I am relieved to finally be out of Bersatu, says the recently expelled deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin. “I will not appeal, as I am now a free man and I need not listen to orders which I have to perform unwillingly in the party,” said Hamzah. “It is not Bersatu which decides who is the Opposition Leader, but it is the opposition MPs who decide that,” he added. On his future decision to join any other political party, Hamzah said that he has yet to decide. “What is past is in the past,” said Hamzah.
