KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional Wanita chief Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin today expressed her surprise over Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar's resignation as the coalition's treasurer.
The Public Accounts Committee She said she had no prior knowledge of the situation as she was only appointed to her position early this week.
"Personally, I was surprised, of course, but I was just appointed on Monday.
"I have no information about it, and you would need to ask (PN chairman) Tan Sri (Muhyiddin Yassin) for that," she told reporters after a PAC press conference today.
Mas Ermieyati said this when asked whether she knew about Samsuri's resignation as PN treasurer.
She also said Samsuri, who is also Terengganu menteri besar, was not present during a PN meeting earlier this week.
"It was my first time attending a PN meeting that evening upon my appointment.
"(But,) he (Samsuri) was not present that night," she said.
Last night, Pas confirmed that Samsuri, who is the party's vice-president, had tendered his resignation as PN treasurer.
Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, who confirmed the matter, said Samsuri had submitted his resignation letter earlier in the day.
