Perlis Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah has stepped down from Bersatu's Supreme Council, prioritizing his state leadership responsibilities over party-level commitments.
The former Perlis menteri besar has rejected accusations that he incited party members to boycott PAS programmes, though he acknowledged lingering pain over his political departure from the state leadership.
Perlis PAS has drawn a firm line against collaborating with former members who defected to Bersatu, blaming last December's political crisis for the loss of the menteri besar position.
