UMNO and PAS’s political co-operation will unite Malays into a powerful force that will defeat Pakatan Harapan, Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan said tonight.
In an attempt to pour cold water on Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s invitation to Malays to join Bersatu, Mohamad said Umno and PAS had already unified Malays more than Bersatu could ever hope to do.
“Umno and PAS will be a Malay force that has never been seen before. It will be a tsunami that will swallow up Bersatu and PH.
“We will prove that our political co-operation is powerful and sustainable.
“It is good of Dr Mahathir to call for Malay unity, but Umno and PAS have already done it,” Mohamad said in a statement tonight.
Bersatu chairman Dr Mahathir yesterday said all Malay parties, including Umno, should join Bersatu for the sake of unity.
Several Umno leaders immediately rejected his invitation.
Mohamad tonight said Dr Mahathir only made the invitation because he knew that Bersatu was weak.
“Malays became more disunited and Malay political influence has declined ever since Dr Mahathir started Bersatu.
“It became worse when Bersatu became allies with DAP to defeat Umno. Since PH formed the federal government, Malays realise that Bersatu cannot speak for them.
“That’s why Malays are not rushing to join Bersatu.”
He said Umno remained the largest Malay political party and had been speaking up for the race for seven decades. – July 6, 2019.
