Sabah Bersatu denies assemblypersons returning to Umno

Sabah Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) information chief Khairul Firdaus Akhbar today dismissed claims that several of its state assemblymen are leaving the party to rejoin Umno.

He said such speculation was created by some parties who were not happy with Bersatu's presence in the state and was trying to create rifts between the political partners in Perikatan Nasional (PN).
