Ahli Bersama digesa kembali ke PH demi agenda reformasi

Pahang-based Bersatu party expressed its willingness to return to Pakatan Harapan (PH) in a bid to prevent further political fragmentation that weakens the reform agenda, according to Damian Yeo, the former DAP Melaka chief. Yeo argued that while divergent opinions cannot be ignored, they should not lead to prolonged fragmentation.

He emphasized that the fight for reform is more significant than any individual or political party and that personal differences should be set aside for the collective good. However, Yeo also urged PH leadership to be open to hearing different perspectives, debating and making improvements. His sentiments came in the wake of Bersatu's heavy defeat in the Melaka PRN, mirroring a similar fate in the Johor PRN last July when it failed to win any seats out of 15 contested constituencies.

The party, which includes former Parliamentarian and PKR leader, announced its reform agenda in May, focusing on institutional reforms, child protection, social protection, and plans to reduce the number of foreign workers.
