KUALA LUMPUR – Ketereh Umno chief and Barisan Nasional secretary-general Tan Sri Annuar Musa is now saying that his party will not turn down DAP and PKR despite his objections, reported Berita Harian.
“It depends on the party members. If anything, bad happens, please assume responsibility. Umno fell once during the 2018 general election, I don’t want Umno to fall a second time.
“Umno has a pact with PAS under Muafakat Nasional and another with Bersatu, and we successfully formed a government.
“If there are parties that want to give a lifeline to DAP, go ahead, but I will fight it,” he was quoted as saying.
“My stance is clear: DAP will not be our friend politically, and I want Muslims to be united.”
Just yesterday, Annuar hit back at detractors, saying, “I am not a ‘pondan’. I am not a political ‘pondan’.”
“When it comes to fighting, Annuar Musa can fight. I’ve fought Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, I’ve fought against Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
“When it comes to fighting, Annuar Musa is not a bad fighter.”
His detractors often accuse Annuar of favouring Bersatu president and Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s administration over his own party.
Of late, some Umno leaders and warlords have outright told Annuar to leave Umno and join Bersatu after he remained adamant in defending the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration. – The Vibes, January 3, 2021
