Over 120 former members of Bersatu's Pulai division have publicly pledged their support for Pakatan Harapan in the Johor state election, signalling internal fractures within the Bumiputera party ahead of polling day.
Abd Mutalip Abd Rahim, the former Layang-Layang representative, has abandoned Umno and joined Bersatu, citing displeasure over the party's decision to hand his seat to coalition partner MCA.
Kuala Sepetang's suspended Bersatu assemblyman Ahmad Man acknowledges he cannot switch to Wawasan until formally sacked, citing Malaysia's anti-hopping legislation that protects party stability.
