Thank BN for stopping PN 'frogs' from hopping again, Wan Saiful told
Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi launched an amphibious retaliation to Wan Saiful Wan Jan’s contention that PN is the sole coalition entitled to speak about principles because it chose to remain as the opposition.
Reminding the Bersatu information chief that PN comprises frogs who deserted Umno, Puad said it is the anti-hopping legislation that is keeping the coalition intact.
“Without the Act, many of its MPs would have switched parties…
“His party should be grateful to BN. The (anti-hopping) law was drafted and passed when a BN leader was the prime minister,” he said in a Facebook post.
According to Puad, this was proven when PN was unable to prevent GRS, which consists of MPs who are Bersatu members, from supporting Pakatan Harapan chairperson Anwar Ibrahim as prime minister.
The anti-hopping law, gazetted on Sept 6, was a key component of the confidence and supply agreement (CSA) inked by former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's administration and Harapan.
Puad also said that BN had joined the “unity government” based on “trust”.
On the other hand, he claimed PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin accepted BN’s support for his administration while harbouring a vendetta and had “intended to kill Umno”.

“This is why Muhyiddin could be the prime minister for just 17 months. His own mistake was the ‘scheme of things’. His administration failed,” Puad added.
Muhyiddin had become prime minister following the Sheraton Move which collapsed the Harapan government in 2020, just 22 months after it came into power.
However, the PN chairperson, who was accused of heading a backdoor government, later fell victim to a political coup himself.
BN’s decision to join Harapan instead of BN altered the race for the premiership and government after the 15th general election resulted in a hung Parliament.
Despite suffering its worst-ever electoral setback, BN became the kingmaker with its 30 parliamentary seats and tipped the balance in Anwar’s favour.
