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

UMNO Open Doors to Re-Accept Members, Strengthens Party

The "Rumah Bangsa" initiative by UMNO is seen as an extraordinary approach to strengthen the party in the Peninsular and Sabah, said UMNO Supreme Council Member Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Maslan. He said the effort was also aimed at ensuring UMNO remained relevant not only during the election season but at all times. Ahmad, who is also Deputy Minister of Works, said a special committee had been established to manage applications, including from leaders who had been sacked or left the party, to rejoin UMNO. "Our approach is to 'forgive and forget'. When other parties took action to sack members, we opened the door to welcome them back," he said when met at the Breaking of Fast Ceremony with the Media and the Public Works Department (JKR) and the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Sarawak here today. The Pontian MP said several figures had shown interest in rejoining UMNO and further announcements would be made from time to time. Meanwhile, UMNO President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid previously said the "Rumah Bangsa" initiative was open to all without imposing any conditions, including former UMNO leaders.
