PETALING JAYA: Bersatu is proposing the formation of a united opposition front involving parties outside the government bloc to coordinate a joint stand on matters affecting the people.
According to party secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali, the proposal was put forward during the party’s supreme leadership council (MPT) meeting and will be discussed at the Perikatan Nasional presidential council meeting later this weekend.
He said that the party leaders have also agreed to have party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin lead the efforts to initiate this collaboration.
Azmin added that Muhyiddin had also instructed Bersatu leaders to intensify groundwork in key constituencies ahead of the Sabah state election.
"The MPT is confident that the people of Sabah are receptive to and support the struggle of Bersatu and Perikatan Nasional," he said in a statement on Tuesday (July 15).
The council also confirmed the party’s annual general assembly will take place on Sept 6–7 in Shah Alam, Selangor, with a ninth-anniversary dinner to be held on the final night, expected to host over 2,000 guests.
Azmin said the council had also approved the launch of the Infaq Bersatu fundraising programme, inviting contributions from the public to support its pro-rakyat agenda.
Additionally, he said that Bersatu would mobilise its leaders and supporters for the "Himpunan Turun Anwar" rally at Dataran Merdeka on July 26, scheduled to begin at 2pm.
"This peaceful gathering aims to defend the Constitution and the rule of law, and to stand against oppression," said Azmin.
