Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad issued membership cards to former Umno lawmakers in Putrajaya this evening.
Of the seven, six were present at the time of writing - Masjid Tanah MP Mas Ermieyati Samsuddin, Hamzah Zainuddin (Larut), Shabudin Yahaya (Tasek Gelugor), Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (Tanah Merah), Abdul Latiff Ahmad (Mersing) and Mohd Fasiah Mohd Fakeh (Sabak Bernam).
Rosol Wahid (Hulu Terengganu) is still on the way for the event.
Mas Ermieyati, a former deputy minister, quit Umno in July last year and submitted her application to join Bersatu in December.
The remaining six, meanwhile, quit Umno in December to protest the leadership of party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Hamzah was the former domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism deputy minister.
Certain quarters, even those within Pakatan Harapan, have objected to accepting former Umno lawmakers into the coalition.

OMG, skru MM n Bersatu, now full of CORRUPT EX-Umno kakis! Looks like they will NOT b investigated for d sins dat they committed as Umno members. Very sure their Umno DNA remains. They will b SPIES feeding information 2 Umno. What's next? Some of them might be appointed by MM as Ministers n Deputy Ministers. SIck! These Umno spies WILL jump back to Umno when d situation favours them 2 do so. No wonder Najis very happy now. Voters who voted for PH during GE14 have been SOLD off n back stabbed by Bersatu. Amanah, DAP, PKR - Y NO sound?
This is the worst move.... The cancer is spreading thanks to Mahatir. The old man is the quintessential politican. Forgoing ethics and morality for a power grab to oust the weight of his minority partners.... What a complete back flip from his reformist agenda. Mahatir is a liar. Will forever be a racist liar. A one trick pony with no new ideas. That is why Malaysia has not and will not develop. A stupid leader will always lead a stupid people.
