00:00BERSATU members who intend to contest in the party elections later this year might need

00:06to fork out between RM1,000 and RM100,000 depending on the post they are gunning for.

00:12A source said the proposal for such a fee was mooted by the party's Deputy President

00:17Ahmad Faizal Azumu at the BERSATU Supreme Council meeting last night.

00:22The source said Faizal, better known as Peja, suggested that those who want to contest for

00:27the Presidency and Deputy Presidency pay RM100,000 and those eyeing the Vice President's post

00:33pay RM50,000.

00:36Under the proposal, those gunning for a spot in the Supreme Council would be charged RM5,000

00:41while members who want to contest for a Division Chief's post would need to pay RM1,000.

00:47The source said many of the Supreme Council members, including Party President Muhyiddin

00:51Yassin, were taken aback by the proposal.

00:55The source said, according to Faizal, the fee could be used to fund party elections.

01:01Those who were against the new terms opposed it on grounds that it would only benefit certain

01:06leaders and could create unfair elections.
