UMNO does not intend to revisit relations with scheming parties.

Party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is the deputy prime minister, said cooperation should be based on sincerity and not manipulation and tricks.

“If the leader and party is very manipulative, I don’t think we (Umno) should revisit that relationship,” he said when asked to comment on the report that PAS is still open to upholding the unification agenda with Umno.

He was speaking after dinner with ambassadors and representatives of 29 member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Putrajaya last night.

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said yesterday that his party was open to reconciliation among the ummah for unification.

Tuan Ibrahim was commenting on the statement of former Umno Supreme Council member Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, who said spirit of Muafakat Nasional must be revived among the two parties. – Bernama, August 30, 2023.
