JOHOR BARU: The current turmoil in Bersatu reflects the consequences of political decisions made in the past, says Umno party Youth deputy chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah. The Umno supreme council member, who is also the Larkin assemblyman, added that the internal split within Bersatu is “karma” for what it has done to Umno“Actually, I am not bothered about other parties. Mohd Hairi said Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had introduced the concept of a “rumah bangsa”, signalling the party’s openness to uniting Malays under one roof. He added that the president had opened the “door of the house”, reflecting Umno’s willingness to embrace other Malay leaders and parties. Mohd Hairi also said the Umno Youth wing was open to accepting former members of other parties who wished to join.
