Umno, Pas must not fight among themselves on road to Putrajaya, says Idris
MELAKA: Umno and Pas must avoid disputes and set aside their differences to ensure their cooperation remains strong.
Umno and Pas leaders have warned against internal disputes and urged cooperation to maintain their political strength. Pas vice-president Datuk Idris Ahmad emphasized that discord would weaken their political power, quoting the Quran. Idris stressed the importance of unity to secure Malay-Muslim political dominance, which is crucial for the country's multiracial population.
Both parties must avoid fighting each other, as winning requires cooperation. Idris stated that efforts to strengthen ties between Umno and Pas should extend beyond the Melaka election, aiming for a broader political agenda towards Putrajaya. The Sungai Udang state seat will see a contest between BN candidate Datuk Rais Yasin, Bersatu's Major (Rtd) Abdullah Mahadi, and Parti Bersama Malaysia's Mohd Ridzuan Abdul Rahman.
