Party chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the party met with many NGOs, including groups representing retired teachers and army veterans.
“These NGOs have supporters. We know they talk about the problems of the Malays and they are also interested in saving the future of the Malays,” he told reporters after opening the Melaka Pejuang retreat here today.
On the retreat, Mahathir said it was held to explain to members in the state the party’s direction.
“Many, even among our members and leaders, do not know much about Pejuang. They do not know in depth why this party was formed.
“So we’ll go to every state to explain. Hopefully, this retreat can inspire party members to work harder,” he said.
