Hamzah’s letter to rejoin Umno is fake

A LETTER circulating on social media today purportedly showing Opposition Leader Hamzah Zainudin applying to rejoin Umno, has been confirmed to be fake.

An officer to the Larut MP verified the matter to the media, dismissing the document as fabricated.

When contacted, the officer shared a Facebook posting by Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), a page believed to be aligned with Hamzah, which refuted the claim.

The posting included the allegedly original letter said to have been addressed to Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, bearing the label “Black Ops Team Muhyiddin” emblazoned across it.

The viral letter claimed that Hamzah welcomed the “Rumah Bangsa” agenda announced by Zahid during Umno’s General Assembly in January.

It further stated that he sought a role in advancing Umno’s political vision as a “Rumah Bangsa” for the Malay community, an initiative championed by Zahid.

However, the document lacked both an official letterhead and Hamzah’s signature, raising questions over its authenticity.

Hamzah, prior to joining Bersatu, was among a group of Umno lawmakers who declared a loss of confidence in Zahid’s leadership and left the party on 14 Dec, 2018.

He later joined Bersatu and rose through its ranks, eventually being appointed deputy president.

However, he and 17 other party leaders were expelled following months of internal power struggle with party president Muhyiddin Yassin.

Surat Hamzah nak sertai Umno adalah palsu

SURAT yang kononnya ditulis bekas timbalan presiden BERSATU, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin kepada Presiden UMNO, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mengenai hasrat penyertaannya semula ke dalam parti itu adalah palsu dan tidak benar sama sekali.

Perkara itu dimaklumkan setiausaha akhbar Hamzah, Asron Mustapha.

Menurut Asron, imej surat yang menjadi tular di media sosial itu sejak tengah hari tadi merupakan satu percubaan terancang untuk mencemarkan imej Ahli Parlimen Larut tersebut.

“Hentikan ‘black ops’ ini, sudah-sudahlah sebar khabar angin mengenai Hamzah,” katanya.

Terdahulu, tular di media sosial imej surat bertarikh 23 Feb didakwa daripada Hamzah mengenai permohonan beliau untuk kembali menyertai UMNO.

Isi kandungan surat tersebut turut mengandungi permintaan Hamzah supaya diberi peranan kepimpinan dalam inisiatif Rumah Bangsa yang dibawa Ahmad Zahid.

Hamzah merupakan antara pimpinan BERSATU yang dipecat daripada parti 13 Februari lalu di tengah-tengah perebutan kuasa antara beliau dan Presiden parti, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Sejak itu, timbul khabar angin bahawa beliau bersama 18 individu lain akan menyertai parti baharu.
