Bersatu's multiracial move a necessary gamble, say analysts

NALYSIS | Bersatu's deliberation to allow its non-bumiputera associate members to hold positions within the party is a necessary gamble following the entry of International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali into the party, analysts said today.

They noted that Azmin, who is the former PKR deputy president, had pledged the support of over 200,000 grassroots supporters from Penggerak Komuniti Negara and other former PKR-linked NGOs.

Azmin had also brought along elected representatives and leaders from non-Malay communities to join Bersatu.
