PBM wanting to join BN gets positive response - Zuraida

Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) president Zuraida Kamaruddin claimed that the party’s wish to join BN has received a positive response, but no official decision has been made yet on this.

According to her, some matters needed to be studied by BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PBM expected that the application outcome would be announced soon.

“Everything has been going on smoothly and with a positive response. It's just that he (Zahid) has so far not made an official statement on this matter, but perhaps after the dissolution of Parliament,” she said after attending the “Jom Reset Segamat” Tour Programme in Segamat yesterday.

Also present was Santhara Kumar, who is the Segamat MP and deputy tourism, arts and culture minister.

On the seats to be contested by PBM in the coming 15th general election, Zuraida, who is also plantation industries and commodities minister, said the party would be defending its six seats.

The six MPs from PBM are Zuraida (Ampang), Santhara (Segamat), Larry Sng Wei Shein (Julau), Steven Choong (Tebrau), Mohammadin Ketapi (Lahad Datu) and Dr Xavier Jayakumar (Kuala Langat).

At today’s event, Santhara handed over a boat each for the Segamat district police headquarters and information office in preparation for the monsoon season.
