00:00Sources are claiming that Bersatu Grassroots in Kelantan are unhappy with the party's decision
00:09to field a former PAS member as their candidate in the upcoming Ngegeri State-by-Election.
00:15Speaking on condition of anonymity, a Bersatu source said there were mixed feelings and
00:20thoughts within the party, but said members needed to be more realistic as the party has
00:25minimal presence in Guamusang.
00:28The source also said it was necessary for Bersatu to field a candidate trusted by PAS
00:34to regain the faith and support of both the Islamist party and the locals.
00:39The source said a trust deficit surfaced after ousted incumbent Azizi Abu Naim pledged his
00:45support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim last November.
00:49On Monday, Perikatan Nasional named Rizwadi Ismail, a former Navy officer, as its candidate
00:55for the August 17 by-election.
00:57Majib Basar Nasruddin Daud said that Rizwadi, a former Guamusang PAS deputy youth chief,
01:03was given permission to join Bersatu since the Ngegeri seat belongs to the Muhyiddin
01:07Yassin-led party.
