PUTRAJAYA: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) leaders and members have been told not to pine for government posts or rewards now that the party is part of the government.
Its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said that although some may be disappointed that rewards did not come their way after toiling hard for Bersatu and Pakatan Harapan’s victory in the 14th general election in May last year, it was something they have to live with.
“It is saddening, but we must remember, that was our promise (not to expect rewards).
“The government cannot use its powers to enrich people or reserve posts for supporters or their leaders,” the Prime Minister said at a Bersatu breaking of the fast function at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here last night.
Also present were his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, Bersatu president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin Women’s wing chief Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun and Youth wing head Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman. – Bernama
