00:00 The Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress will no longer submit applications to join Parisa
00:07 Nacional.
00:09 Its President, Syed Ibrahim Qadir, said this was after BN rejected its applications.
00:15 He said BN had failed to reach a consensus on allowing KEMA to join the coalition.
00:21 Syed Ibrahim said that there is a party within BN that is blocking KEMA's application.
00:27 He also said that from now on, they will not submit any applications to join BN, but if
00:33 the coalition invites them, they will accept it.
00:36 At a press conference later, BN Chairman Ahmad Zayed Hamidi admitted that the coalition was
00:41 unable to accept KEMA's application as there had to be a consensus among its component
00:46 parties - UMNO, MCA, MIC and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah.
00:52 KEMA is among the parties allied with BN in a group known as Friends of BN.
00:57 Among its other members are Makkal Sakti, Indian Progressive Front and Parti Cinta Malaysia.
