Umno, PAS ink charter formalising political alliance

With the signing of the “Piagam Muafakat Nasional” (National Cooperation Charter), opposition parties Umno and PAS have now formally joined hands.

The five-point charter was signed by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang in the presence of thousands this afternoon.

Held at Umno’s headquarters at the Putra World Trade Centre, the song “Teman Sejati” (Sincere Partner) by local nasyid group Brothers was played through the speakers during the ceremony.

The signing ended with shouts of “takbir!” led by the leaders of both parties.

The charter was later read aloud by Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa and his PAS counterpart Takiyuddin Hassan.

The former appeared tearful and choked up when delivering his speech.

Among those seen seated on stage today were Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan, BN advisor and former premier Najib Abdul Razak as well as PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

It also pledged to ensure the needs of a “multicultural society” were met.
• Strengthen national cooperation through musyawarah principles which extended to the different religions, races and cultures, all in the nation’s interest.
• Empower the Islamic, Malay and Bumiputera agenda within the framework of the Federal Constitution for the wellbeing of the country.
