KUALA LUMPUR – Bersatu supreme council member Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin today gave the thumbs up to the idea of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad working with Perikatan Nasional (PN).
“I would very much welcome if Dr Mahathir joins PN,” she said after attending the Srikandi Muda Leadership Empowerment programme here today.
Zuraida, who is also housing and local government minister, said she had suggested the cooperation between PN and the Langkawi MP before.
It was recently reported that PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin had said the coalition is open to welcoming anyone – including Dr Mahathir – as long as requirements in the party constitution are met.
Meanwhile, on standard operating procedures (SOP) compliance at Ramadan bazaars, Zuraida said as of today, one bazaar in Penang was issued a compound while three bazaars were ordered to close in Kedah, Terengganu and Selangor for failing to comply.
“A total of 1,122 bazaars are operating. Three have been ordered to close but can reopen,” she said. – Bernama, April 23, 2021
