Bersatu denies opposing Pejuang's entry into Perikatan Nasional coalition

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) has firmly denied allegations that it objects to Parti Pejuang Tanah Air (Pejuang) joining the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. Muhammad Hilman Idham, head of Armada, Bersatu's youth wing, clarified that the decision to accept Pejuang as a member party was made unanimously and with full support from Bersatu.

"Bersatu strongly denies the claim that this party opposes Pejuang's entry into PN. In fact, the decision to accept Pejuang as a member party was decided unanimously," Hilman stated. He added that Bersatu supports Pejuang's participation, but the party does object to the inclusion of Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM). This objection is based on factors related to legal compliance and the potential implications for the coalition's internal stability and harmony.

Bersatu strongly denies the claim that this party opposes Pejuang's entry into PN. In fact, the decision to accept Pejuang as a member party was decided unanimously.

The opposition to PCM's entry is reportedly due to issues with its application process. Hilman explained that the application was submitted under the name PCM, but the accompanying leadership information was listed under Parti Wawasan Negara. Crucially, this party name change and leadership alteration have not yet received official approval from the Registrar of Societies Malaysia.

Hilman also referenced statements by Bersatu Vice President Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, who had previously expressed regret over the PN Chairman's alleged attempt to rush the Supreme Council's approval without adequate scrutiny of legal aspects and implications under the Societies Act 1966. Hilman emphasized that all decisions concerning PN's direction and composition must be transparent, orderly, and legally sound, upholding good governance and the rule of law.

Bersatu supports the participation of Pejuang and only opposes the entry of PCM due to factors of legal compliance and implications for the internal stability and harmony of the coalition.
