MUDA president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has assured Pakatan Harapan (PH) that the party’s main enemy is Umno-Barisan Nasional (BN).

The Muar MP said his party does not intent to fight with either PKR, DAP or Amanah in the Johor elections despite rumours saying the party was looking for a fight with PH.

“It is important for us to know who our friends and enemies are. When Muda was formed, we made it clear that we wanted to overhaul the country’s political system,” he said.

“Our enemy is Umno-BN and we will fight them together,” said Syed Saddiq during the launch of PH’s machinery in Johor.

The former youth and sports minister said the opposition must defeat BN to ensure there will be no more state elections.

He said Umno is using Johor as their testing ground and if they win, Syed Saddiq added that it is possible that the Malay party may call for elections in Perak and Sabah.

“They claim they want stability in calling for state polls when what they really want is to grab power,” he said.

“We need to put a stop and it must start with Johor. If they win they will continue in Perak and Sabah. That is why we need a common ground to work together.

“Umno was just lying when they used stability as an excuse to hold the polls when they were the ones who caused instability. starting with the ‘Sheraton move’ by conspiring with Muhyiddin Yassin.

“Johor is our final line of defence. We must work to win this election,” said Syed Saddiq.

The Election Commission (EC) has set polling day on March 12.

EC chairman Abdul Ghani Salleh said nomination is slated for February 26, while early voting will be held on March 8.

The state elections are called after the state government requested for the state assembly to be dissolved, with the consent of Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar. – February 14, 2022.
