00:00Two youth leaders are at odds as to whether Bersatu is a Malay rights party or one that
00:06champions national issues.
00:10Both Bersatu youth chief Hilman Idham and the wing's ex-co-member, one Mir Safwat
00:14Nakiuddin Shamsuddin, point to the party's constitution to back up their respective claims.
00:20Hilman defended his statement that the party has a broad remit, arguing that Bersatu's
00:25constitution clearly stipulates that they would champion national causes and the welfare
00:29of Malaysians, irrespective of race or religion.
00:33He was responding to one Mior who hit out at Hilman over his stance.
00:38One Mior said Bersatu is clearly a Malay-based party that champions the rights and the welfare
00:42of the Malays, the Prebumis and the Bumiputras, stipulated in clauses 1, 2 and 6, which explains
00:49the party's name, the definition of Prebumi, and its mission respectively.
00:54One Mior went on to question if Hilman had mixed up Bersatu's ideology with that of
00:58PKR, where Hilman was previously a deputy PKR youth chief, before quitting the party
01:04to join Bersatu in 2020.
