00:00Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is welcoming MPs who defected from UMNO to Bersatu to return to their original party,
00:08says UMNO Supreme Council Member Puat Zarkashi.
00:11Puat said Zahid's remark yesterday that UMNO's door was not wide open yet not totally shut
00:17had been misconstrued by certain quarters.
00:20He said that to his understanding, Zahid was directing the statement at Bersatu MPs
00:24who used to be in UMNO but defected after the 2018 general election.
00:28He said while they are welcome to return to UMNO, there must be something agreed upon
00:33between them and UMNO without detailing what this agreement should entail.
00:38Bersatu was formed in 2016 by former UMNO leaders Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin Yassin,
00:44Mukhris Mahathir, and several others.
00:47After Barca National fell from power in G14, UMNO suffered a slew of defections to Bersatu.
00:52The MPs who switched camps included Hamsa Zainuddin, Saba Bersatu Chief Ronald Kiandi,
00:59Wanita Bersatu Chief Mas Ermiyati Samsuddin,
01:02Hulu Turanganu MP Rosol Wahid,
01:04and Tanamira MP Iqmal Hesham Abdul Haziz.
