NEGRI SEMBILAN THE FIRST WAVE OF MASS UMNO EXODUS INTO BERSATU? ‘GIVE ME 3 MONTHS’ – RAIS YATIM TO REBUILD STATE BERSATU AFTER ITS SHOCK DISSOLUTION

RAIS Yatim, who has been entrusted to lead the effort to rebuild the Negri Sembilan chapter of Bersatu after its dissolution today, said he is prepared to take on the responsibility to ensure that the party is no longer deluged with problems.

“Following the dissolution, only Eddin (Kuala Pilah MP Eddin Syazlee Shith) and I were retained to rebuild and restructure the Negri Sembilan Bersatu in a more efficient, fair and just manner.

“We will begin with getting feedback from all the eight divisions in the state on how we can restructure the party at the division level,” he told reporters after a meet-and-greet session with Bersatu members in Seremban today.

Eddin, who is also deputy communications and multimedia minister, was also present.

On the appointment of new heads of the eight divisions, Rais said a discussion would be convened with the top leadership on whether or not to accept the candidates proposed by Negri Sembilan.

“Give me three months to get the homework done,” he said.

Rais, who is also former Jelebu MP, said he and Eddin had also been tasked by the party leadership to identify the actual number of Armada and Srikandi memberships.

Earlier today, Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin announced the dissolution of the entire Negri Sembilan chapter with immediate effect and a new line-up of leaders.

The dissolution was done upon advice of the Registrar of Societies (RoS) to resolve the prolonged and unsolved internal issues of the party in the state.
