Prominent academic and religious scholar Maszlee Malik is set to join Bersatu on Monday.

Speaking to Malaysiakini, Maszlee said that he finally made his decision to move into the political frontlines with Bersatu after getting the full support of his family.

"I would say that Malaysians are at a junction. We are going to face the 'Father of all Elections' that will determine the future of our country."
