KUALA LUMPUR - Indera Mahkota MP Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah has truly gone around the block jumping from Umno to PKR and now Bersatu.

Many have labelled him a "political from" despite being described as a kind intellectual.

So, what is the story behind this?

The Foreign Minister told Sinar Daily that this was a mixture of two things; his principles and situational decisions.

He said he needed to follow what he believes while making the best decisions based on certain conditions.

"I believe in certain principle but sometimes you just have to do certain things.

"I left Umno because I don’t think it is still a party that is pejuang (fighting for the people) anymore, but it has become a party berwang (money-driven party), and the way they handled 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) made me left.

"Then I joined PKR and we had some problems there, so I joined Bersatu,” he said.

However, Saifuddin said he does not intend to change party anymore after this as he has had enough.
