KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Srikandi (Women’s wing) chief Datuk Seri Rina Harun described the conflict in the party as a family misunderstanding that can be resolved amicably.
“We (Bersatu members) are a family. Don't be at loggerheads. I'm sad, (but) it’s normal in a family...Insya-Allah, we will resolve the internal problems amicably,” she told reporters when met at Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s residence here today.
Rina, who is Titiwangsa Member of Parliament, was at Muhyiddin’s residence in Bukit Damansara here for about two hours.
She said she was there to congratulate and express support for Muhyiddin on his appointment as prime minister.
Rina also said that all Bersatu members respected former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and that she had learned a lot from the statesman.
Muhyiddin, 72, who is Bersatu president, took his oath as the 8th Prime Minister today.
The Pagoh Member of Parliament was appointed the PM following Dr Mahathir’s resignation last Feb 24, which then created a political turmoil in the country, leading to the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government. -- Bernama
