- A youth leader questioned the purpose of the new political party 'Bersama', suggesting it might cater to disgruntled politicians.

A prominent youth leader has raised questions about the newly formed political party 'Bersama,' suggesting its formation might be driven by political dissatisfaction rather than a genuine offer for a better future. Omar Mokhtar A Manap, secretary of Angkatan Muda Harapan (AMH), urged the public to scrutinize Bersama's objectives.
"The public needs to assess whether Bersama is established to offer a better future or merely to serve individuals with political disappointments towards their old organizations," Manap stated. He emphasized that the question of Bersama's true purpose needs to be answered by the party itself.
Manap also clarified the stance of his own coalition, Pakatan Harapan, stating that their focus is not on attacking other political entities. This suggests a strategic positioning by Pakatan Harapan, aiming to differentiate itself while observing the emergence and aims of new political players like Bersama.
The public needs to assess whether Bersama is established to offer a better future or merely to serve individuals with political disappointments towards their old organizations.
