00:00IMPOSSIBLE FOR NOW
00:03This is what Bersatu's Supreme Council Member, Rafiq Abdullah,
00:07had to say about the chances of his party reuniting with UMNO.
00:11Rafiq said Bersatu will likely turn down calls to rejoin UMNO
00:15as long as Ahmad Zahid Hamidi continues to lead the party.
00:19He added that under Zahid's leadership, UMNO is struggling to stay afloat.
00:25Rafiq also attributed the declining support for UMNO among Malays
00:29to Zahid's decision to back DAP, its one-time rival.
00:33If UMNO decides to sever ties with DAP and PKR,
00:37then, he said, Bersatu will consider joining forces along with PAS
00:41under the banner of muafakat nasional.
00:44Rafiq was commenting on a call by UMNO stalwart Tengku Razali Hamzah
00:48for his party to invite all Malays to return to its fold
00:51and get members from splinter political parties like Bersatu and PAS
00:55to reunite under UMNO for the sake of the Malays.
