"We should be grateful to Allah (SWT) that Fairus has left the party. He has always been a liability from the time he participated in the Penang government until he left," he said.
Fairus resigned from his DCM 1 position in April last year following allegations of his involvement in illegal activities with local quarry operators. A week after stepping down, he relinquished his Penanti seat, claiming he was going to pursue his studies.
In the weeks following the controversy, Fairus had reportedly threatened PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim asking him to help him clear his name or risk the exposure of a state and party scandal.
"When he left, he demanded that the party clear all his debts, including payments on his two luxury cars and a stipend of RM15,000 a month for as long as he determined. There was no reason to concede to these demands. Furthermore, the party does not have the means to do so, " said Syed Husin in a statement.
He said out of compassion for his wife and children, a kind individual gave him a job which paid RM4,000 a month but he was unhappy.
"He has continuously attacked the party leadership. Now he has found an Umno leader who can pay him much, much more than this."
Fairus announced last night that he was joining Umno.
