Perkasa Youth chief quits
Perkasa Youth chief Arman Azha Abu Hanifah confirmed today he is quitting his post with immediate effect, in a development suggesting a split in the Malay rights group.
His announcement confirmed a report in The Malaysian Insider this morning that he was resigning amid speculation about serious infighting because of disagreement among the top leaders over the way the group is being managed.
He said, however, that he would remain a member of Perkasa.
Perkasa could face a serious split with Arman’s (picture) resignation.
Perkasa was formed by Datuk Ibrahim Ali after 2008 to address and champion what the Pasir Mas MP claimed was a gradual erosion of Malay rights after the last general election.
