Umno information chief Ahmad Maslan is working on bringing the Islamic party into the BN fold to unite the Malays.
KUALA LUMPUR: Umno information chief Ahmad Maslan vowed today to do his best to bring PAS into Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) to unite the Malays.
“I will try to work on this so that PAS will be in BN, stop Malays quarrelling among themselves because it is tiring, a waste of time and energy and a stupid thing to do,” he said at a 65 Years of Umno forum here.
Ahmad, who is Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, was in the panel with Malay consultative council secretary general Hasan Mad and chairman of the working committee of the young ulama assembly of Malaysia, Fathul Bari.
He said that a merger between Umno and PAS would lead to peace that would benefit not only the Malays but the other races as well.
Ahmad said that he hoped the Malays would regard the Chinese and other races as friends so that they could jointly develop the country.
Fathul said that it was a big mistake for anyone to use religion to further personal ambition.
When doing religious work, politics should be put aside, he said.
Hasan said that Umno should take care of pensioners and the younger generation before the next general election because these two groups were easily influenced.
