MALAYSIA does not need any more new political alliances or cooperation, said Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan as politicians toy with the idea less than 10 months after Perikatan Nasional (PN) took power.

“Malaysia would be better off without the formation of one political alliance after another. What the people need are new policies, ideas and ingenuity to make Malaysia prosperous,” he wrote on his Facebook.

Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainuddin last week proposed a grand coalition to be formed formally between his party, Barisan Nasional and GPS.

Hamzah’s suggestion was shot down by several GPS leaders while Umno leaders felt they should lead the grand coalition if it materialises. 

PAS, which is in both PN with Bersatu and Muafakat Nasional with Umno, welcomed Hamzah’s idea and said it was positive for the country

Mohamad, or Tok Mat as he is popularly known, said the Malaysians are fed up with politicians and want a new vision to propel the country to greater heights. 

“The continuous bickering has only further frustrated the people and as such, Malaysia’s leaders need to resolve their fickleness. The people are also tired, fed up and sick of the various conflicts particularly coming from Malay politicians.

“What the Malays need are not merely ideas but a clear vision on how they could further advance and prosper,” Hasan said.

The former Negri Sembilan menteri besar urged politicians to put their pasts aside and come together for the good of the country to contribute new ideas and thoughts. 

“It is time we leave these uncertain histories behind and open the book on a new page. It is pointless to dwell on the past as the story has already been told.

“Malaysia needs new seeds and a new inspiration for it to grow again,” Hasan said. – December 15, 2020.

  • Wait till all the kleptocrats, racists, extremists and supremacists are filtered out of the politics. These traits are still prominent and remnants of such breeds especially in UMNO and PAS are still active in the politics.
