Umno-Pas cooperation drawing envy from political rivals, says Asyraf Wajdi
KUALA LUMPUR: The unity between Umno and Pas is increasingly drawing the envy of their political rivals, with the cooperation coming at a high price.
The cooperation between Umno and Pas is garnering admiration from political opponents, who are envious of the alliance's strength. However, this unity has come at a significant cost, with the party facing intimidation, slander, and malicious accusations in an attempt to weaken it. Former Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki recounted how these tactics aimed to humiliate and tarnish the reputations of its leaders, as well as test their resolve.
Despite the pressure, Asyraf emphasized that the stronger the opposition, the more determined Umno would be to fight back. He urged delegates not to become arrogant when the party was favored, reminding them that the victory was a responsibility to serve the people with excellence, humility, and sincerity.
