MELAKA, May 1<\/strong> —\u00a0All political parties need to be open\u00a0to sitting down and discussing\u00a0the future of the people, Bersatu secretary-general\u00a0Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said discussions between political parties do not only focus on winning elections as they bear a bigger responsibility in determining the direction of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For the sake of Malaysians, let us keep\u00a0an open mind. Meaning that we can\u00a0sit\u00a0down and discuss solely the future of the people.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We would often talk about things like this, not just about elections, but about important issues like how to have a\u00a0better future for the country, how, what\u00a0strategies\u2026.all this we need to think about together if we really really want to be in politics,”<\/em> he told reporters at\u00a0the Tangga Batu parliamentary constituency Madinah-style Iftar ceremony organized by the Tangga Batu Bersatu division at the Krubong Community Sports Complex Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bersatu vice-president Datuk Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen was also present at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) ‘big tent’ concept to face the coming general election, Hamzah said all political parties have different views about the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said what was important was that the goals and objectives of politics are for the sake of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
