00:00A former Bersatu Supreme Council member has urged the founding members and grassroots
00:06of the party to join PKR.
00:08Faiz Naaman, who is now with PKR, said Bersatu's losses in recent by-elections indicated the
00:15Malay community's rejection of the party.
00:18Faiz's comments came after Bersatu's Haizan Jafar lost the Makota by-election to Barisan
00:24Nasional's Said Hussein Said Abdullah last night.
00:28Similarly, BN reclaimed the Negeri State seat in Kelantan last month by defeating Bersatu's
00:33Rizwadi Ismail.
00:35In his statement, Faiz claimed that Bersatu has become more marginalized since aligning
00:40with PAS.
00:42He said it has strayed from its original goal of promoting a more moderate Malay society
00:46and has instead adopted extreme rhetoric.
00:49He also said the current Bersatu leadership seems more focused on preserving their positions
00:54rather than engaging with the youth and grassroots members.
