The recent spate of negative comments coming from Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Youth wing leaders presents an opportunity to "cleanse" the wing, said the movement's leader Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman.

He urged those who could be easily bought over to leave the party.

"Leave before we come to power. We do not need those who are easily bribed.

"There is a blessing in these betrayals. The cleansing process begins," he said in a statement today.
