Perlis Umno, BN ready to go solo without PAS

 

Umno has never had any cooperation with PAS in Perlis, according to state Barisan Nasional chief Azlan Man.

KANGAR: Perlis Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) are ready to go solo without PAS in the next general election (GE15) if the Islamic party does not wish to maintain any political cooperation through Muafakat Nasional (MN).

Perlis BN chairman Azlan Man said the state Umno was moving single-handedly and had also never forged any cooperation with PAS.

“There is no political cooperation between (Perlis) BN and PAS at the moment,” the state Umno liaison committee chairman told reporters here last night.

Azlan, who is also the Perlis menteri besar, said PAS seemed to have no concrete stand on whether to continue or end the MN political cooperation by putting the blame on Umno through unnecessary statements issued by their leaders.

“However, it all depends on any decision made by the top Umno leadership,” he said.
