KUALA LUMPUR:
PPBM said it was capable of playing a more dominant role to represent the Malays and Bumiputeras.

The party’s information chief Radzi Jidin also said PPBM would be the preferred choice in championing the special rights of the Malays and Bumiputeras as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, compared with Umno or PAS.

“The Malays will look at us as a party that can continue to help them… the Malays see PPBM as an alternative for them. The current political dynamic shows many Malays are now ready to be with PPBM,” he said in an interview.

He said PPBM was the focus because the party was with Pakatan Harapan (PH) in fighting corruption and emphasising good governance.

“PPBM will be a lot better than Umno. It’s not to replace Umno, we’re going to be a lot better than what they have done,” he added.

The second PPBM general assembly this weekend, to be attended by 1,550 delegates from 98 party divisions nationwide, is the first for the party after PH took over the government.

It will be held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre and officiated by chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Dec 29.

Radzi said “party hopping” would be among the topics to be debated by delegates.
