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.

Syed Saddiq said some of these leaders revealed to him that Umno had made offers to them to turn on Bersatu.

"Perhaps they thought we would counter with a higher offer to keep them. I'm sorry, Bersatu is not a place for dedak (bribe) recipients," he said.

He urged those who are ethical to stay true to Bersatu's struggle.

"This fight is more than ourselves, even bigger than our party," he said.

Syed Saddiq's statement came after Bersatu Youth exco member Abd Wahazir Abd Wahabi today lodged a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) report against Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his children, demanding for their wealth to be investigated.

On June 10, another Bersatu Youth exco member Muhammad Hafiz Azhar held a press conference at which he questioned the wealth of Mahathir and his children as well as an alleged extramarital affair involving party president Muhyiddin Yassin.
