KUALA LUMPUR: The Supreme Council of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) is studying the proposal to create a body for associate members to allow them to play a more meaningful role in the party.
Its general secretary, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, said that the establishment of the body aims to recognize the contributions and roles of associate members, as well as strengthen their participation from time to time.
“Bersatu welcomes any Malaysian who wants to join the party as an ordinary or associate member.
“With regard to the participation of new members among non-bumiputeras, the existing Bersatu constitution details matters related to associate members as stipulated in Clause 7 (Membership), Clause 8 (Membership Registration) and Clause 9 (Responsibilities and Members’ Rights) “. it said today in a statement.
Hamzah, who is also an interior minister, emphasized that claims by some parties that Bersatu has deviated from its original goals by opening its membership to non-bumiputeras were inaccurate.
