Langkah strategik untuk menang bukan tikam belakang PH, kata pemimpin Umno

Ahmad Maslan, a member of the Umno Senior Council, emphasized that Umno's strategic move to win the PRN election is not about taking a backhanded shot at Pakatan Harapan (PH) due to the lack of cooperation agreements in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka. He stated that the same applies to Sarawak and Sabah, where no agreements have been made with PH.

In Melaka, there is also no agreement. They should wait for the outcome. Next Monday, August 28th, there will be a meeting of the MKT, and this issue will undoubtedly be discussed, according to Sinar Harian after the 2026 Contractors' Convention in Picca Convention Center, Butterworth. He firmly reiterated that cooperation agreements between the two coalitions at the central level and Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN) will continue until the end of the federal government term.

The important agreement at the Center is what we must uphold and fulfill. The President and BN Secretary-General have repeatedly stated that we will remain together in the unity government until the end of the term because we have signed the agreement. He said that the criticism from PKR representatives about Umno at their national congress in Melaka last weekend, which they were accused of being dishonest and like striking from behind, is similar to their own strategy to survive the party.

They also took a strategic move to ensure their party's survival. He gave the example of DAP holding a special congress last Sunday to decide whether the party should remain in the unity government. That was also their strategic move. The strategic move of their response to members who opposed them was to hold an election at the congress.
