Admit role in failure of MN, Khairuddin tells PAS
Khairuddin Aman Razali says Muafakat Nasional can work, provided PAS and Umno do not interfere in each other’s internal affairs.
PETALING JAYA: PAS must acknowledge its role in the failure of the Muafakat Nasional (MN) alliance with Umno, says Kuala Nerus MP Khairuddin Aman Razali, who quit the party in March.
“PAS needs to admit that Umno has requested seat negotiations, but PAS has not entertained such requests,” said Khairuddin on Facebook, adding that “this mistake needs to be rectified”.
He said MN can work, on the condition that both parties agree to officially cooperate, and that talks to negotiate seats should not stop halfway.
Khairuddin also said the two parties should not let Bersatu, which has a small number of members, drive a wedge between them.
For the alliance to work, he said, both parties must also not interfere with each other’s internal affairs.
“Don’t repeat the 1978 mistake where one party interfered in the internal elections of the other, causing a breakdown in cooperation between the two,” he said.
Earlier today, PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin said the party was not ready to end its alliance with Umno.
In an Utusan Malaysia report, Hashim said PAS had always adhered to the charter’s agreement, adding that MN would provide the best chance of success for both parties at the 15th general election (GE15).
Last week, Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi again dismissed the possibility of working with PAS at GE15.
Describing PAS as “two-faced” and indecisive, Zahid said Umno had given the party several chances to abide by the terms of the charter.
Umno and PAS leaders have been at odds for a year over the future of MN, formed in 2019 by the two major Malay-Muslim parties to challenge Pakatan Harapan, which was then in power.
However, Zahid and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang later disagreed about whether to accept Bersatu into the alliance. PAS and Umno splinter-party Bersatu are partners in Perikatan Nasional.

"Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Idris Ahmad said it was time for the minority Muslim countries to follow Malaysia’s example with its people of various races living together peacefully with Islam as the official religion".
ReplyDeleteThis was part of what Idris Ahmad said in a conference in Abu Dhabi.
And he said it with a straight face. Yes, there is peace in Malaysia so long as the nons swallow all the shit from the privilege class ie the malays/muslim.
The talk of MN and muslim unity means the nons are unimportant and can be dismissed like dirt. Where is the talk of creating a multi racial, multi religious Malaysia living in harmony?
All we read is malay this, muslim that as though the nons are planning to over run the country and install a non muslim, non malay regime and deprive the muslims and malays a place in Malaysia.
Idris Ahmad must be a bigger fool than we realise if he thinks the world is blind to how the nons are treated in Malaysia.
Has there been a SINGLE prosecution of a malay/muslim who has uttered degoratory and insulting words against other races and religions?
NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!
So much for Keluarga Malaysia. But then, I think I must be mad to think and hope that the majority race/religion, inspired by the teaching of their religion would treat the nons better. It was all an empty dream.
This is, after all, Malaysia, Truly Asia
