Fauzi quits Beserah seat after lodging report
against Khalil
By Syed Azhar
KUANTAN: Barisan Nasional assemblyman for Beserah Datuk Fauzi Abdul Rahman
dropped a bombshell yesterday when he decided to quit his seat.
Fauzi, a former deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department, made
the decision after lodging a police report against Tan Sri Khalil Yaakob over
matters when Khalil was mentri besar.
"Yes, I have tendered the resignation letter,'' he said when contacted, but
declined to comment further.
If Fauzi, 55, remains firm with his decision, a by-election will have to be
called, unless he holds on to the seat and joins another party or declares
himself an independent.
Until press time, top Umno officials in Kuala Lumpur were trying to talk to
him.
In Kuala Lumpur, Khalil, who is Umno secretary-general and Information
Minister, declined to comment on Fauzi's decision and the police report
against him.
Pahang Umno liaison chief Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob, responding to Fauzi's
decision, said he was aware of the matter.
"I have feedback that Fauzi did not get enough nominations to even qualify
to defend his post (of Kuantan Umno division chief) and if I know him well, he
will surely resign,'' he said, adding that he had been trying to contact
Fauzi.
In his report lodged at the district police station here at 3pm, Fauzi made
allegations on matters relating to state funds.
Khalil served as mentri besar for 13 years until he contested and won the
Kuantan parliamentary seat in 1999.
Fauzi also urged the police to conduct a full-scale investigation into his
allegations.
Pahang police chief Datuk Mohd Noor Hamat confirmed that the report had
been lodged but declined to elaborate.
Umno officials said a possible reason for Fauzi's decision was his failure
to secure enough nominations to defend his division chairmanship.
Fauzi failed to get nominations from at least 14 branches out of the 65 to
defend his post at the division polls next month.
Fauzi said it was only appropriate that he vacate the seat because it was
evident that Umno members did not support him.
At a press conference after meeting the mentri besar late last night, Fauzi
told reporters he would not back out from his intention to quit. He said the
letter would only be given to Adnan tomorrow.
