JOHOR BAHRU: Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has welcomed the formation of any new Malay-based political party, provided it contributes to greater unity among Malays and does not further divide the community.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also UMNO president, said any new political platform established by individuals or prominent figures should aim to unite Malay thinking and strengthen common objectives.

“We welcome any individual or leader who wishes to establish a new platform, on the condition that it helps unite thinking and does not lead to further divisions.

“Whatever platform is used, if it ultimately brings people together in support of the national agenda, the Islamic agenda and the interests of the Malay community, then it deserves support,” he told reporters after attending the ‘Haul Asmaulhusna 2026 Zikir’ at Sultan Iskandar Mosque in Bandar Dato Onn here today.

Also present were UMNO secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki and Johor BN chairman Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.

Ahmad Zahid was commenting on the emergence of a new political party centred on the Malay-Muslim struggle.
