00:00A Bersatu MP has confirmed that Party Secretary General Azmin Ali had made remarks allegedly mocking PAS and UMNO leaders
00:08in a WhatsApp chat group for Bersatu's Supreme Council members.
00:13Tanah Merah MP Iqmal Hisham Abdulaziz said he could not tell whether the remarks were made in jest.
00:20A screenshot of the conversation, which apparently took place in the WhatsApp chat group last month, was shared online late
00:27last night.
00:27It started with Iqmal pointing out that UMNO President Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had invited former leaders to return to the
00:35party.
00:36Azmin then told Iqmal there was no need to raise the matter in the Bersatu Supreme Council chat group before
00:42allegedly mocking Zahid and past President Abdul Hadi Awang by suggesting that those who simply followed the two leaders would
00:48be assured of entering heaven.
00:50Separately, two former Bersatu Supreme Council members have accused Bersatu Vice President Ahmad Faisal Azumu of lying after he denied
00:59taking digs at PAS in the same chat group and suggesting that Bersatu leave Brikatan Nasional.
01:05Zulkifli Bujang and Yunus Nordin denied that screenshots of Faisal's alleged remarks were fabricated, saying they were both in the
01:12WhatsApp group at the time when the former minister made the remarks.
