Spurned by Umno, Bersatu to focus on other coalition partners

 

Bersatu said it would focus on strengthening its alliances with other parties as Umno prepares to discontinue its cooperation with them.

The decision was reached following Bersatu's supreme council meeting in Putrajaya today, where the party discussed Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s letter informing the Umno supreme council’s decision to cut ties when the 15th general election is called.

“Bersatu has decided to continue its focus on strengthening operations alongside its partners in Perikatan Nasional - namely PAS, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku Rakyat Sabah (Star), Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp), and Gerakan - based on a cause that is true and sincere to the people to win the next election,” said Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin in a statement today.

He also assured that the present government led by Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin remains stable and will continue to function.
