FORMER minister Rafidah Aziz today dismissed the Umno-PAS cooperation, saying the relationship was only forged to acquire more votes.

She also reminded Umno members of how PAS used to treat them as religious outcasts.

“Remember, once they called Umno members ‘infidels’.

“When I contested in Kuala Kangsar, PAS members there even refused to shake hands with me, saying that I was an infidel,” she said during the Bicara Minda programme in Karangkraf Shah Alam today.

She said PAS was so extreme in its view of Umno that it even wanted separate burial spots for its members.

“In Terengganu, they had separate graves for PAS members and Umno members. Youngsters today would not understand this.

“PAS wanted a separate burial ground, saying their heaven was different, and those of us in Umno were not going to go to heaven,” she said.

Following the defeat on Barisan Nasional in the last general election, the coalition’s lynchpin party Umno formed an official alliance with PAS, citing Malay unity as its goal. – April 1, 2019.

  • UMNO now has no backbone. It is natural that they must lean on something.

  • Both parties do not have the intellect to differentiate what is left and what is right. The back stabbing of each other is always ongoing. Nothing has changed and nothing has stopped. The lower party members have never been kind to each other and no love loss in their wayward feelngs for one another. The "infidelshood" attachment alloted to Umno has never being stricken off by PAS lower party members. It is only at the top level where we see both the devious party leaders in the japery of bangsa dan agama. Just loud and blurr . They did not realize that they themselves are their own making of the mockery in their culture and religion , evidently from the scandals in their attraction to monetary benefits done so by plundering and corruption.
