KUALA LUMPUR – Umno is ready to face PAS in the 15th general election (GE15) if the latter continues to be part of Perikatan Nasional, party veteran Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said today.
“We (Umno) have got nothing to do with PN. We will go against PN, and if PAS is still in there (PN), we will fight PAS (as well). What choice is there?
“If PAS wants to be with us through Muafakat Nasional, then it should leave PN,” he told reporters when commenting on party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s policy speech at the Umno General Assembly 2020 held at the World Trade Centre here today.
Zahid, who is also Barisan Nasional chairman, said the Umno-led coalition has decided to contest GE15 on its own.
He said Umno has also decided to maintain the decision of its Supreme Council to not have any cooperation with PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, DAP and Bersatu.
Tengku Razaleigh said Umno leaders in the cabinet should resign from their ministerial posts, failing which, they will no longer be deemed members. – Bernama, March 28, 2021
