Pol-sec rubbishes Sangeet’s claim that Anwar ’empowered’ Umno

Azman Abidin says the prime minister's job isn't to empower any party but to manage his multi-coalition administration responsibly.

Pol-sec rubbishes Sangeet’s claim that Anwar ’empowered’ Umno

Federal Territories PKR chief Azman Abidin dismissed a claim by Kuala Lumpur DAP leader Sangeet Kaur Deo that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim empowered Umno while dividing Pakatan Harapan (PH). Azman stated that the prime minister's role is to manage the multi-party government responsibly, not to bolster any single party. He pointed out that working with Umno does not imply a weakening of DAP.

When Sangeet urged PKR not to allow the coalition to fall apart, Azman replied that disagreements among parties are normal and should be addressed through negotiation or presented to the Cabinet. He emphasized that the constructed unity government should not be jeopardized by criticism or reprimands.
