PASIR MAS – The dispute between Umno and Bersatu will be resolved amicably, said PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.
He said PAS is confident the conflict between the two parties will be settled.
“The is still light at the end of the tunnel,” he told reporters when asked whether PAS was worried over the tussel between Umno and Bersatu.
The environment and water minister said this when met after his visit to a landslide area at Dataran Air Muleh, Kg Pohon Celagi, here today.
On the PAS-Umno meeting last week, Tuan Ibrahim said among the topics discussed was strengthening Muafakat Nasional (MN) cooperation.
“We have been having meetings twice a week. In our meetings, we do touch on the general election but only indirectly,” he said.
On claims that Kuala Langat MP Datuk Xavier Jayakumar quit PKR because he was involved in a corruption case and wanted to avoid prosecution, Tuan Ibrahim said the matter should be handed over to the authorities for further investigation.
“Leave the investigations to the authorities. We (PAS) must make it clear, there will be no compromise and every allegation must be proven. The court must investigate if it is true that he was involved.
“However, don’t make such an accusation each time someone switches party, because several Amanah members had also jumped ship (left PAS),” he said.
Last Saturday, Xavier who was former water, land and natural resources minister and PKR vice-president, announced his resignation from his party post, saying he was frustrated with the current political situation in the country.
He had also said he will be an independent MP supporting the government bloc under the leadership of Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. – Bernama, March 15, 2021
