Having more Malay parties will only split the community, says Opposition leader

KUALA LUMPUR: Malays will be split further if there are more Malay-based political parties, says Opposition bloc chief Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Ismail, who is also Umno vice-president, said that although anyone was free to set up their race-based political parties as long as they were recognised by the Registrar of Societies, it was not a good thing for Malay unity.
