MUSTAPA HEADED FOR PKR OR AMANAH? PROVE YOU HAVE CHANGED IF YOU WANT TO JOIN HARAPAN, DR M TELLS MUSTAPA – WHILE KHAIRY BLAMES ZAHID’S UMNO-PAS PACT FOR KELANTAN CHIEF’S SHOCK EXIT

PUTRAJAYA – Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has downplayed Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed’s shock exit from Umno tonight, saying the move had come too late.
Dr Mahathir, himself formerly an Umno president, said it would have been a different matter altogether if the Jeli MP had left the party earlier — not when Umno has already been “damaged”.
“He has realised it, but it was a bit late should have realised it earlier. He only left now that Umno is damaged. It’s okay lah,” he told reporters here, referring to the politician popularly known as Tok Pa.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 2018 Malaysian Franchise Awards Night, Dr Mahathir said he is unaware if Mustapa will be joining any Pakatan Harapan (PH) component party soon.
“I do not know. He did not say anything about that,” said the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) chairman.
When pressed further, Dr Mahathir said Mustapa would have to first prove he has changed, should he wish to join PH.
Mustapa, who was with Umno for four decades, cited disillusionment with the party’s growing shift from the middle ground as the reason for his resignation.
His decision today came amid plans by Umno to cooperate with Islamist party PAS, which has governed the east coast state of Kelantan for the last 28 years after toppling Barisan Nasional in 1990.
Kelantan PH chairman Senator Husam Musa earlier tonight suggested that he would welcome Mustapa with open arms after the latter is done with his “mourning period”.
Meanwhile, former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has blamed his party president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for Mustapa’s sudden decision to quit the party. – Malay Mail

Khairy blames Zahid for Mustapa quitting Umno

UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should be held responsible for Mustapa Mohamed quitting the party, said Khairy Jamaluddin.
The former Umno Youth chief said the Jeli lawmaker quit the party due to its current direction.
“I have been vocal in cautioning my party against this alliance with PAS. And I bore the brunt of attacks from within. Now, we have lost a leading light of our party. A brilliant and good man. This is on you, Mr President,” Khairy tweeted tonight.
Mustapa, the former international trade and industries minister, has been an Umno member for 40 years.
He said he has lost faith in the party and its ability to rejuvenate and win back public support.
Mustapa’s departure leaves the Barisan Nasional component party with 50 lawmakers.
Umno won 54 parliamentary seats in the 14th general election, but three MPs quit the party just weeks after GE14.
They were Masjid Tanah MP Mas Ermieyati Samsudin, Bukit Gantang MP Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal and Bagan Serai MP Noor Azmi Ghazali
Mustapa was returned to the Umno Supreme Council with the highest number of votes in the party’s elections in June.
He said Umno must be inclusive and moderate but the party was going in the opposite direction.
Since the last general election, Khairy has been slammed within the party for speaking up against Umno’s top leadership on issues like cooperation with PAS and the walk out in Parliament over the appointment of the Dewan Rakyat speaker. — https://www.themalaysianinsight.com
