Bn Ready To Welcome Salleh Back Into Umno Annuar Musa

---

Barisan Nasional (BN) has adopted an open attitude and lauds the return of former Umno treasurer Salleh Said Keruak back into the party
BN secretary-general Annuar Musa (photo) said the party has no objections to the application, but Salleh has to undergo several processes before a final decision by Umno's top leaders
“Indeed, we have received an application from Datuk Seri Salleh and four senior leaders from Sabah who have made the decision to come back, and they need to make a new application
"This political party belongs to the people, we accept them with open hearts," he told reporters at the Baiti Jannati @ Federal Territories homeownership programme for the hardcore poor yesterday
Prior to this, Salleh had confirmed that he had applied to rejoin Umno on May 26 through state Umno liaison chairperson Bung Moktar Radin
Salleh, who was former telecommunications and multimedia minister, had applied to join PKR in October last year after he and a majority of Sabah Umno leaders resigned in December 2018, but cancelled the application
Meanwhile, Annuar, who is also Federal Territories minister, said his ministry would work with more private sector parties to raise funds and sponsor homeownership for hardcore poor people living in the Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s People’s Housing Projects (PPR) and Public Housing (PA) projects
He said the ministry had so far received RM2 million from Tenaga Nasional Bhd and was aiming to deliver up to 60 PPR and PA residential units to the hardcore poor
Earlier, Annuar made a visit to PPR Kampung Muhibbah and handed over a homeownership letter to the first recipient of this year's Baiti Jannati @ Federal Territories programme, Siti Zainah Mohd Zain, 44
Siti Zainah is a diabetic single mother of four children and has no fixed income
