PETALING JAYA: A third audio recording, allegedly of a Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia meeting that occurred before Malaysia's political turmoil in February, is making its rounds on social media.
The voice of a man, who is supposedly Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, was heard proposing in the meeting that allegedly took place on Feb 23, for Bersatu to join forces with Umno to form the largest political party in the country.
"With Bersatu, there would be about 40 over MPs – we will be the largest political party," says the man in the two-minute-long recording posted on a pro-Dr Mahathir Facebook page. "With 40 MPs that we have, we will be the single largest Malay ruling party in the country," he said.The man also said that the plan could be executed with Bersatu leaders approaching Umno members – including former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak – and offering them positions in the new government.
The man was heard saying that it was unlikely Umno would turn down the deal because they"want to be part of the government" instead of being part of the opposition.Previously, two other alleged leaked recordings of a Bersatu meeting had surfaced on social media.
