00:00It's a perpecahan in the party, but it's not a perpecahan in terms of the fight for the people of Melayu.
00:10Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has downplayed the rift within Bersatu,
00:15saying it will not affect efforts to strengthen Malay unity.
00:19Speaking at a press conference in Putrajaya today, Mahathir said,
00:23the disagreements within the party were an internal matter and should not be seen as a split in the broader struggle to uphold Malay interests.
00:32Asked whether he supported Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin or Deputy President Hamza Zainuddin,
00:37Mahathir said both leaders were welcome under the broader platform for Malay unity.
00:42Mahathir's comments come amid escalating tensions within Bersatu,
00:46following the sacking of Taksik Gelugoh MP 1 Saiful Wan Jan and the suspension of Macang MP 1 Ahmad Faizal 1 Ahmad Kamal
00:55for allegedly breaching the party's constitution and code of conduct.
