DAP defends itself, blames Umno for testing boundaries of unity govt pact
DAP legal bureau chairman Ramkarpal Singh says Umno is straining consensus within the unity government through its cooperation with PAS and repeated attacks against Anwar Ibrahim.
The DAP has strongly defended its position within the unity government, attributing the strain in ties to Umno's perceived transgressions. Deputy secretary-general Ramkarpal Singh asserted that Umno information chief Azalina Othman Said should reconsider her party's dedication to a stable administration. Singh highlighted Umno's continuous public criticism of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, arguing that such behavior undermines confidence in the government.
He also noted Umno's calls for early elections, which he deemed disrespectful to the stability previously pledged to the public. This criticism comes in response to Umno's accusation that the DAP is weakening the unity government. Ramkarpal emphasized that the unity pact was signed with the primary goal of maintaining a stable government, and Umno's actions have directly undermined this stability.
He urged Azalina to reflect on her party's commitment to the agreement, emphasizing that any breach of trust would be evident.
