The office of the Leader of the Opposition has confirmed that a letter circulating on social media claiming Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin had resigned is fake.
According to a report by Berita Harian, officials from the office verified the matter after being contacted last night.
Earlier, two letters bearing the letterheads of the Opposition Leader’s office and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) went viral, allegedly stating that Hamzah had stepped down from his position. The letters claimed the resignation was linked to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s decision to step down as Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman and cited current political realities and leadership needs.
The documents further alleged that the decision was made after careful consideration to ensure continuity and stability within PN in line with the coalition’s future leadership direction.
Yesterday, Muhyiddin confirmed that he would resign as PN chairman effective January 1 next year. Following his announcement, Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said he would step down as PN secretary-general and Selangor PN chairman, effective January 1, 2026.
Several other PN leaders have also announced their resignations, including Perak PN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, Johor PN chairman Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal, and Negeri Sembilan PN chairman Mohamad Hanifah Abu Baker.
