Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) plans to contest the upcoming Johor state election using its own party logo if its request to use the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition logo is rejected. Party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin asserted that Bersatu is a resilient party that will not fade, even if it has to operate outside the PN coalition.
Muhyiddin explained that the PN coalition comprises four parties: Bersatu, PAS, Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP), and Malaysian People's Movement Party (Gerakan). He emphasized that if Bersatu were to leave PN, the party would seek new alliances, confident in its ability to endure and grow.
If using the PN name, there are four parties in it, Bersatu, Pas, Malaysian Indian People's Party (MIPP) and also Malaysian People's Movement Party (Gerakan). But if we leave PN, we will find a new coalition because Bersatu will not die. As a political party, we will be eternal, we will become a bigger party.
Speaking at the launch of Bersatu's election machinery in Bakri, Muhyiddin, who is also the Member of Parliament for Pagoh, stressed Bersatu's capability to lead Johor. He pointed to the party's strong leadership, which includes himself and three other former chief ministers: Datuk Dr. Sahruddin Jamal (Johor), Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali (Selangor), and Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (Perak). He urged opponents not to underestimate Bersatu's strength and determination to govern the state effectively.
Don't underestimate us, don't fool us, we have strength, we have spirit. Bersatu has the qualifications and experience to administer this state.
