MELAKA: Anticipation over Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin ’s next political move fell flat after he signalled that he was not in favour of forming a new political party, opting instead to focus on strengthening and “resetting” an existing platform.

The Larut MP said the current political landscape does not warrant the creation of a new party, stressing that the priority should be to rebuild and reposition an existing one so it remains relevant and capable of attracting public support. He said political parties must go beyond functioning as mere platforms for gatherings or activities and instead be driven by a clear, principled struggle."I want to make it clear that I do not agree with forming a new party," he in his speech at the"Reset" Hari Raya Aidilfitri at Peringgit Point here on Saturday .Hamzah indicated that he wish to be part of an existing political party. "But if we enter an existing party and strengthen it, I agree with that and I only want that one house. "What matters is that we prove the house we choose will be the one we enlarge and reset into a struggle to defend religion, race and the nation,” he said. Hamzah’s remarks come amid mounting speculation over his political direction, with many expecting a major announcement on the formation of a new party following his departure from Bersatu. However, at a press conference later, he dismissed claims linking him to any specific party, saying speculation in politics should not be treated as certainty. "In politics, rumours are not a certainty,” he said, adding that any decision on his political platform would be announced at an appropriate time. He also rejected claims that he no longer commanded support, suggesting instead that his influence remained intact based on the level of interest and backing he continues to receive.Teen goes viral after throwing brick from flat upper floorGlobal energy crisis: Govt implements measures to address fuel shortage worldwide
