Zulkafperi, however, said that he remains loyal as a Bersatu member and will not betray the party.

However, to ensure plans for the Tanjong Karang parliamentary constituency is in line with the federal government’s, he said it would be appropriate for him to align with the leadership in Putrajaya led by Anwar.
