The ex-Bersatu deputy president says claims that he is set to take over the party are 'just speculation'.
PETALING JAYA: Former Bersatu deputy president Hamzah Zainudin has dismissed reports that he is set to take over Parti Cinta Malaysia .
“That is merely their claim,” Berita Harian quoted him as telling reporters at the wedding reception of Batu Kurau assemblyman Najmuddin Elias in Kampung Paya, Larut, today. Quoting sources, Sin Chew Daily had reported that Hamzah was allegedly in talks with the PCM leadership over a possible takeover, including plans to field former Bersatu leaders in upcoming elections. PCM is a Penang-based party founded in 2009 by former Gerakan vice-president Huan Cheng Guan.
It became an associate member of Barisan Nasional in April 2019. The report linking Hamzah with PCM is the latest twist in his search for a political vehicle since his sacking by Bersatu on Feb 13. In March, he was said to be in discussions to take over the relatively unknown Parti Keluarga Malaysia.
By late May, FMT quoted a source saying he was set to launch a new party in mid-June in Kuala Lumpur, with Utusan Malaysia separately reporting the launch could take place at a “Reset Convention” before the Dewan Rakyat meets on June 22. On the coming Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections, Hamzah said cooperation with PAS would be a key pillar of his political strategy in both states.
“For now, the close relationship we have with PAS will be utilised to formulate a political approach capable of guaranteeing stability, prosperity, and the wellbeing of the people in both states. “We are discussing the future, and that future does not mean the future of my party alone,” he said.
