PUTRAJAYA – Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Umno does not intend to “revisit” cooperation relations with scheming parties or leaders.

The Umno president said cooperation should come from sincerity and not from people with manipulative and crafty moves, who are not welcome as they are full of tricks.

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

He was met by the media after a dinner with ambassadors and representatives from 29 member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), here last night.

It was reported yesterday that PAS deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the party still takes an attitude of reconciliation among the ummah, especially the Malays who still need unifying.

Tuan Ibrahim was commenting on the statement of former Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman who expressed the need for the spirit of Muafakat Nasional to be revived, especially involving the two parties. – Bernama, August 30, 2023
