KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 (Bernama) -- Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today described Bota assemblyman Datuk Nasaruddin Hashim's decision to join Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) as not suprising."I am not surprised...but he might have his own reasons (to defect) and we should know the reasons," he said.
Ahmad Zahid who was met by reporters after the closing of the Islamic Economic Development Festival 2009 (I-Fest 09) here, said the Barisan Nasional needed to look not only into Nasaruddin's reasons for making the decision, but also that of other assembylmen and MPs who intended to do the same, especially in the opposition-ruled states.
"Perhaps the problem is about allocations, where we (federal government) can help. Maybe they find it difficult to fund activities which they often do as the people's representatives.
"So, assistance should be extended to them so that personal pressure does not become political pressure for these elected representatives," added Ahmad Zahid, who is an Umno Supreme Council member.
Yesterday, Nasaruddin announced his decision to join Parti Keadilan Rakyat which he said was made after due consideration.
Earlier, on the four-day I-Fest which drew about 850,000 visitors, Ahmad Zahid said it was filled with activities, including demonstrations by the Road Safety Department, handicraft demonstrations, cultural performances and a Muslim fashion show.
The festival also featured 243 display and information booths put up by various government agencies, corporate organisations and the private sector, including medium-and small-scale industries.
tunku : so it is all because of RM, not principles.the love for money is more than the love for the people and party.i think these type of creatures should join pakatan en bloc. umno will be better off without these creatures.

Tunku,
Saya rasa apa yang dimaksudkan oleh Dato' Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi merujuk kepada kemampuan wakil rakyat BN di Perak melaksanakan projek-projek pembangunan untuk rakyat. Ini disebabkan kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat tidak memberikan mereka peruntukan pembangunan itu, sedangkan rakyat mengharapkan wakil rakyat BN untuk membawa pembangunan yang sinonim dengan BN.

Untuk mendapatkan ahli UMNO yang berkualiti, ahli2 yang berkurap seperti Datuk Nasaruddin perlu di buang dari parti. Inilah orang2 yang merosakkan parti.

Tunku,
you are just........who ever you're
selalunya apa yang saya nampak ialah orang yang keluar dari UMNO ini adalah orang yang kecewa sebab tak dapat benda yang mereka mahukan semasa dalam UMNO.selalu saya nampak benda ni.bila tak dapat kontrak mulalah nak merajuk dan kemudian keluar UMNO dan caci UMNO sebab projek dia tak dapat.
right now UMNO is the "rehabilitation mode".there will be some arrest from now until forever by SPRM to curb money politics in UMNO.well done UMNO.nevermind the opposition and just let them be.i believe that UMNO will change if they willing to change.the arrest of UMNO people who involved in money politics is considered as a bold move.
