UMNO ready to accept former Bersatu leader sacked, suspended from ‘Rumah Bangsa’

KLUANG: UMNO is ready to accept any former Bersatu members or leaders who have been subject to disciplinary action to join the party's struggle, under the Rumah Bangsa idea, said UMNO Vice President Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin. He, who is also the Chairman of the National Home Unification Committee, said that as a party that is a "home" for the Malays, UMNO is always open to accepting anyone who wants to join the party. "We are open to accepting anyone, because our house is 'Rumah Bangsa', meaning the house is big enough for anyone," he told reporters after officiating the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) MADANI Economy programme at Batu 3 Camp, here, today. He said this when asked to comment on the decision of the Bersatu Disciplinary Board to dismiss and suspend the membership of elected representatives and party leaders. Yesterday, the Bersatu Disciplinary Board dismissed and suspended the membership of four more elected representatives and party leaders for violating Clause 9.1.4 of the Bersatu Constitution and the Members' Code of Ethics and Conduct. On Friday, the party also took disciplinary action against six of its leaders, including expelling two State Assemblymen (ADUNs) and suspending the membership of four other party leaders with immediate effect. Rumah Bangsa is an UMNO reunification initiative introduced by its President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to unite the Malays and welcome former members back to the party, with more than 10,000 applications received so far. -- BERNAMA
