Kedah MB Keeps Sacked Bersatu Duo

Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Sanusi Mohd Nor has confirmed that two Bersatu members who were recently expelled from the party will continue to hold their state‑government portfolios. The decision comes as Sanusi praised the administration’s smooth operation, saying blessings are flowing over the state. By keeping the officials in place, the MB signals a desire to avoid disruption and maintain policy continuity, even as internal party tensions rise. Critics argue it may undermine party discipline, but supporters view it as pragmatic governance that prioritises service delivery over political infighting. The move also aims to reassure investors and civil servants that development projects will stay on track.

Keeping the duo in office preserves administrative continuity, mitigates policy delays, and signals to voters that the state prioritises governance over party squabbles.

The decision underscores a broader trend in Malaysian politics where stability and service delivery are being placed above strict party loyalty, potentially reshaping coalition dynamics and influencing upcoming elections across the north. It also puts pressure on opposition parties to reconsider their strategies and may affect federal‑state relations as the Kedah government seeks to maintain its development agenda.
