I agree with your view.
If the founder himself has publicly stated that he rejected offers of RM3โ5 million from others & that no money was involved in the handover, then facts must take precedence over speculation. If there is evidence to the contrary, it should be presented. Otherwise, allegations remain allegations.
What interests me more is the vision behind Bersama.
The word "Bersama" itself carries a simple but powerful meaning - together. Together as Malaysians. Together as rakyat. Together beyond race, religion, ethnicity & political labels.
Interestingly, this idea is not new.
More than 70 years ago, Dato' Onn Jaafar envisioned a political movement that would unite Malaysians regardless of race. He believed the future of the nation lay in building a common Malaysian identity rather than remaining divided along communal lines. Many considered him ahead of his time.
Perhaps Bersama is attempting to revive part of that unfinished vision.
Whether one supports Rafizi or not is a separate matter. Malaysia benefits when new ideas, new leadership & new alternatives are allowed to emerge. Healthy competition of ideas strengthens democracy & keeps every political party accountable.
Can Bersama succeed where others have struggled?
Only time will tell.
Malaysia remains a complex country with deep political, racial & religious sensitivities. Good intentions alone are not enough. Any party seeking to unite Malaysians must also offer credible policies, competent leadership, integrity & solutions to the true problems facing ordinary people.
I sincerely hope Bersama under Rafizi's leadership can contribute positively to the nation & help bring Malaysians closer together rather than further apart.
Malaysia needs less division, less fear & less political tribalism.
Malaysia needs more unity, more purpose & more togetherness.
That, ultimately, is what Bersama stands for.
