Marzuki keeps Bersatu sec-gen position

SEMENYIH: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says Datuk Marzuki Yahya remains the party’s secretary-general.

Marzuki was recently embroiled in a controversy over bogus academic credentials.

Muhyiddin said the explanation given by the deputy foreign minister was sufficient for him to keep his post.

“People can say whatever they want. What’s important is that he (Marzuki) has stated his facts. He gave sufficient explanation on that matter and that’s all we need to know to retain his post as the party’s secretary-general. As for his cabinet post, that’s the prerogative of the prime minister.”

He said this following a visit to the General Operations Force 4th Battalion Complex here yesterday.

Present was Deputy InspectorGeneral of Police Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim

Political activist Muhsin Abdul Latheef lodged a report to initiate an investigation into Marzuki’s alleged fake academic qualifications.

Muhyiddin said Pakatan Harapan, particularly Bersatu, was steadfast in upholding integrity and honesty.

“Telling the truth is part of our basic principles, and I believe in this. There are people who are not satisfied with us, but what is important is that an explanation was given (to us),” he said.
