Umno warns against ‘third parties’ disrupting alliances

PAS and BN clashed over the fall of the Muafakat Nasional pact. The alliance, which included PAS and other parties, fell apart after PAS left the MN coalition. Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki warns that third parties may disrupt Umno's alliances and suggests that they should be cautious about cooperating with others. Asyraf pointed to the breakdown of the MN pact, which occurred due to the influence of third parties.

He said that the party has been wary of such collaborations in the past. In the current era of social media, Asyraf noted that some parties want to take on a heroic role, making overstepping statements and causing unease within their party. Despite BN's victory in the Negeri Sembilan polls, Umno remains cautious about future alliances, emphasizing their dignity and desire to avoid betrayal.
