KiniNews is now also available on Spotify and Apple podcasts.[KiniNews] Larut MP Hamzah Zainudin has openly linked his expulsion from Bersatu to party president Muhyiddin Yassin, claiming that the latter may have intended the move to “teach him a lesson”, but ended up with the opposite result.“Perhaps my expulsion was something that people would say was meant to ‘teach Larut a lesson’, but he was mistaken - it turns out it’s not easy to teach Larut a lesson. And it ended up backfiring on him - ‘now it’s your turn to learn a lesson’,” he said.Meanwhile, in a separate story several DAP leaders have slammed fellow party member, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M Kulasegaran, for his appearance alongside activist Arun Dorasamy at the Jawi Magistrate’s Court in Penang yesterday.Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan, Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman, Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid, and central executive committee member Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali said that while they respected Kulasegaran’s position as a party veteran, his action is inadmissible, especially given his capacity in the government.“The said action has sparked public controversy regarding the integrity of the country’s legal syste," they said.___________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
