KUALA LUMPUR – There is still room for discussion between Bersatu and Umno to ensure political stability is maintained, says Bersatu information chief Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan.
Acknowledging the challenges in terms of inter-party relations, he said he hopes the debates will focus on the welfare of the people and the country.
“We have to differentiate between political parties and the government. From the aspect of government, it can be said that almost every day, Bersatu leaders meet with those from Umno, PAS, MCA, MIC… who are in the Perikatan Nasional (government), because discussions on government administration are always ongoing.
“At the party level, we at Bersatu have always been consistent that what is important is for the union to be maintained,” he told Bernama.
He said in any relationship between political parties, the matter of seat allocations for elections has always been a point of contention, but he hopes this can be resolved amicably.
Asked on what would happen if, during its general assembly, Umno decides to stop cooperating with Bersatu, Wan Saiful said that as of now, no decision had been made.
“We will wait for the decision at the Umno general assembly, then we will think about it,” he said. – Bernama, March 12, 2021
