PETALING JAYA: Bersatu has objected to Parti Cinta Malaysia’s admission into Perikatan Nasional, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (pic).
The Bersatu vice-president cited procedural irregularities in Parti Cinta Malaysia’s application to join Perikatan as one of the reasons for its objection.
“Bersatu representatives also strongly objected to the insistence by the Perikatan chairman that Parti Cinta Malaysia be admitted as a member of Perikatan,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Parti Cinta Malaysia has been rebranded into Parti Wawasan Negara, pending approval by the Registrar of Societies (ROS). The party is led by former Bersatu deputy president Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
Ahmad Faizal said Bersatu did not favour admitting Parti Cinta Malaysia into Perikatan because the coalition was facing difficulties among its component parties following PAS’s decision to sever its relationship with Bersatu.
“Admitting a new party led by former Bersatu members who have been expelled would only add to Perikatan’s internal difficulties.”
He added that Parti Cinta Malaysia’s application to join Perikatan was irregular.
“The application was submitted by Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah in his capacity as party secretary-general. However, an official review found that the current secretary-general of Parti Cinta Malaysia for the 2026–2027 term is Yeo Kwee Kwang,” he said.
Citing a letter from the ROS dated June 22, he said several documents submitted by the Perikatan secretary-general were incomplete and unsigned.
On Monday, Perikatan announced that both Parti Cinta Malaysia and Pejuang had been admitted into its fold.
