Zuraida’s exit may spark party exodus, say experts

PETALING JAYA: While Ampang MP Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin’s move to quit Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia was an “open secret” and had been long expected, it still comes as a huge blow to the party ahead of the general election.

Political pundits say it may mark the start of more such desertions from the party, which is now at loggerheads with Umno and trying to shore up support among the Opposition.
