Last year on Feb 13, we broke news of the Team Muhyiddin vs Team Hamzah split in Bersatu.
This year on the same date the party’s implosion is going into overdrive.
So desperate is the Muhyiddin-Azmin axis that they are firing their own MPs left right and centre.
Not satisfied with going after Hamzah himself, the party has fired 3 more MPs in Wan Ahmad Fayhsal (Machang), Fathul Huzir Ayob (Gerik) and Azahari Hassan (Padang Rengas).
This comes after 16 Bersatu MPs supported a call by party vice-president Ronald Kiandee for Muhyiddin to step down as president and be replaced by his deputy, Hamzah.
Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan and Indera Mahkota MP Saifuddin Abdullah were previously expelled from the party in October and January respectively.
And let’s not forget how Bersatu torpedoed the PAS-led government in Perlis.
Or that in 2024, six Bersatu MPs switched their support to prime minister Anwar Ibrahim. They were Bukit Gantang MP Syed Abu Hussain Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal, Tanjong Karang MP Zulkaperi Hanafi, Jeli MP Zahari Ketchikan, Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid, Labuan MP Suhaili Abdul Rahman and Gua Musang MP Mohd Azizi Abu Naim.
Will Muhyiddin and Azmin have any MPs left by the time of the next GE? Will PAS get tired and take over the Perikatan Nasional leadership for good? What about the hopeless parties like MIC, MCA, Gerakan, MIPP, Urimai and others who fell for Muhyiddin’s false promises.
Bersatu and PN are virtually finished.
Don’t forget we called it a year ago!

This is very long and drawn-out. If Bersatu was a horse they would have shot it already.
