Former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin was among several prominent UMNO leaders that were sacked by the party for alleged disciplinary breaches last night (January 27).
In an interview with NST, Gerakan national vice-president Datuk Baljit Singh said that he was extending a welcoming hand to all those who had been sacked or suspended, including Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and Khairy Jamaluddin, to join Gerakan.
“Gerakan is a multi-racial party and fights for the constitution of Malaysia for every Malaysian. So, in the modern Malaysia arena, I think Khairy and Hishammuddin can continue to contribute to the development of Malaysia, and they should consider joining Gerakan.”
“Gerakan will welcome them with open hearts for the betterment of Malaysia,” he told NST.
Baljit said that those sacked or suspended by UMNO should consider Gerakan’s offer. “I sincerely hope they will step forward to help all Malaysians and join Gerakan,” he added.
