KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 13): Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin refuted allegations that his party is continuously luring UMNO Members of Parliament to join them. 

He said stating allegiance to a particular party is a personal choice and Bersatu had never set up any special task force or team to court UMNO members to jump ship. 

“I think if there is any intention of UMNO members to join us,  not necessarily at the top level but also divisional level, that is their choice. 

“The party (Bersatu) is open to all , it’s not just UMNO,  but non-UMNO  (members) or individuals who think they want to participate in the party they are welcome,” he told reporters when met at Parliament’s lobby today. 

Yesterday, UMNO secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa claimed that UMNO elected representatives are being approached by other parties to jump ship.

Meanwhile, when asked on talk that there will be a Cabinet reshuffle soon by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Muhyiddin said he had not heard about that. 

“I’m not sure about that, but as far as I am concerned I am not aware about that,” he added.
