Bersatu will be the largest Malay party in the new administration if Umno leaders jump ship, Muhyiddin Yassin is heard saying in a leaked audio recording. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, May 30, 2020.

TO lure Umno leaders into Bersatu, Muhyiddin Yassin planned to dangle in front of them posts in the cabinet and government-linked companies, a leaked audio clip has revealed.

The recording, which has not been confirmed, is believed to be of a supreme council meeting on February 23, a day before Dr Mahathir Mohamad quit as prime minister and Muhyiddin took Bersatu out of Pakatan Harapan.

“If they know a new government is going to be formed with Umno, why not tell them to join us now rather than later? I think if we do that… 10, 20 people… Najib and his gang… and we give them positions… if not ministers, then chairmen of GLCs,” the Bersatu president is heard saying in the clip, referring to former prime minister and Umno president Najib Razak.

“They might not want to be left out. Rather than… becoming the opposition, they (would) want to be part of the government.”

Muhyiddin goes on to encourage his party men to persuade Umno lawmakers to jump ship, saying Bersatu would be the largest Malay party in the new administration if they succeeded.

After announcing Bersatu’s exit from PH, triggering the former ruling pact’s collapse, Muhyiddin partnered with Umno, PAS, Gabungan Parti Sarawak and former PKR lawmakers to form Perikatan Nasional.

He was sworn in as prime minister on March 1. – May 30, 2020.

  • Its telling us , absolutely ok to take billions from country coffer one way or another. I would trust Aladdin rather this mooodin. The country is really doomed again. One day the country will be sold without knowing the slightest. That's the problem when a thief is engaged to run the country. This theft team are all from one single party who trained stealing and robbing skills

  • My friends asked me why I call this government a backdoor government. I think they should be clear after this audio clip. Not only a backdoor government but one that should be in jail for corruption. It is blatant abuse of power to use state owned companies for personal gain. The employees of each of the GLCs like Tenaga and Prasarana should rise up and vote against the thieves who use the company they toiled to build for satisfying the greed for power.
