“PASLEAKS” is the work of those who do not want Muafakat Nasional (MN) to be reactivated and further increase the hatred of certain groups in Umno towards PAS, former Putrajaya Umno division deputy chief Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz said.

He said PASLeaks, which has gone viral on social media, was not the minutes of a meeting or any planning but notes that were made by someone unknown.

He said it is also not known whether its content is true or exaggerated.

Tun Faisal, who is also the press secretary to Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa, said for Umno, PASLeaks is seen as being able to reignite the polemics of two groups, namely “Umno Go Solo” and “Muafakat Ummah”’.

“For supporters of Muafakat Ummah, surely the news received without clearly knowing who the source is should be handled with care. Better to ask PAS and see if the extent to which the consensus agenda to defeat enemies with different ideologies is still strong in them,” he said in a post on his Facebook page today.

He said for the supporters of this group, MN could still be reactivated to ensure the goal of winning a two-thirds majority in the 15th general election (GE15). 

He said for supporters of “Umno Go Solo”’, the unverified news is greeted as “getting one’s wish” because it is disseminated widely to Umno members, coupled with the accusation that it is “the minutes of a PAS meeting to destroy Umno”.

“The end goal is that Umno must hate PAS, MN must be buried deeply and that only by contesting solo can Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) achieve an absolute victory of a two-thirds majority,” he said.

“This is because Umno is currently in a very strong position and, as evident from the previous two state elections, Umno has been accepted by the people and it can win big if GE15 is held now.”

Tun Faisal also reminded the relevant parties to make the right considerations before pushing for GE15 to be held.

He cited the situation that occurred during GE14 when the prime minister’s special officer was confident that BN would win with a two-thirds majority and celebrated prematurely at 6.30pm on polling day, although the Special Affairs Department predicted that BN would lose and only win a maximum of 90 seats.

Previously, several documents, supposedly minutes of a PAS meeting that contained a plan or action to topple Umno and BN, were leaked and went viral on social media. – Bernama, April 24, 2022.
