Datuk Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz, the information chief of Bersatu, has publicly criticized Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar for his handling of the coalition's internal difficulties. According to Faisal, the party chairman has failed to fulfill his obligations to the broader PN partnership, instead appearing to focus narrowly on his position within the wider movement.
The Bersatu official contends that Samsuri has confused his dual responsibilities, suggesting the chairman seems to regard his role primarily through the lens of his party affiliation rather than his commitment to leading the entire coalition. This confusion of duties, Faisal argues, represents a significant dereliction of leadership at a critical moment for the PN alliance.
The remarks underscore mounting friction within the opposition coalition as it navigates internal disputes and organizational pressures. Bersatu's public censure signals deepening disagreements over how the PN should be managed and directed moving forward.
Faisal's comments reflect broader tensions between coalition members as they attempt to maintain unity while addressing competing interests and priorities across the partnership's constituent parties.
