SEREMBAN: The application by\u00a0Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) to join\u00a0BN will be discussed at the BN supreme council meeting in the middle of this month, said BN deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
\nMohamad said Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin, who is slated to take over the PBM presidency, had met him in his office last month to express PBM\u2019s desire to join BN.
\n\u201cDatuk Zuraida did meet me in my office last month, expressing PBM\u2019s desire to join BN. I told her that BN (membership) is not decided by one person but has to be decided on consensus.
\n\u201cIt needs the agreement of all quarters\u00a0and component parties in BN. If\u00a0one party disagrees, it cannot be done.\u00a0I have asked her to write a letter to the BN chairman for the matter to be considered at the coming BN meeting,\u201d he said today.
\nMohamad, who is also\u00a0Rantau state assemblyman, was speaking to reporters after attending the Negeri Sembilan state assembly sitting here.
\nMedia reports had said\u00a0PBM was still waiting for a reply from BN regarding its application to join the coalition.
\nMohamad, who is UMNO deputy president, said apart from\u00a0PBM, several other parties had also expressed their intention to join BN.
\n\u201cFrom time to time, newly established parties expressed their desire to join BN but most were told to become friends of BN first.\u00a0Most of these parties did not have state assemblymen and Members of Parliament, but PBM is different because it has elected representatives.
\n\u201cThe matter will be carefully considered from various aspects, and we also do not want other quarters\u00a0to feel uneasy if we accept any party as a BN member.\u00a0So, it will be deliberated on at the BN supreme council meeting,\u201d he added.
