KINI ROUNDUP | Key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.

1. A video recording of Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu from Bersatu allegedly making disparaging remarks about DAP has sparked outrage among the Perak chapters of his Pakatan Harapan allies.

2. This has resulted in Perak PKR declaring that Bersatu’s Faizal does not deserve to be menteri besar for disrespecting Harapan's shared mandate.

3. Perak DAP said Faizal's conduct was "embarrassing" and demanded that he apologise to Harapan's presidential council.

4. DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang urged party leaders to discuss Faizal's conduct later and instead focus on the Tanjung Piai by-election. Polling day for the by-election is next Saturday.

5. Perak Bersatu Youth has blamed the opposition for spreading an out-of-context version of the video to cause infighting among Harapan parties.
