Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today invited all Malay parties including Umno to join Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) in efforts to unite the Malays.
The Bersatu chairman said that he found more and more Malay parties were being formed, which reduced the potentials of the Malay parties to win the election.
“Yes, join Bersatu. When our group is big, we become strong, but don’t stop others from joining the party (Bersatu), let them join.
“If we are split, we become weak, united we stand, divided we fall (bercerai roboh, bersatu teguh). (But) we find that there are people forming new parties, (now) we have become six, soon there will be 10, (then) 100. There are 30 people in one party, How to win (the election),” he told reporters after attending the Johor Bersatu Aidilfitri Open House gathering at the Dewan Serbaguna, Johor Jaya, this afternoon.
The Prime Minister said this when asked whether he was inviting all the existing Malay parties to join Bersatu to strengthen the Malays.
