In the midst of escalating tensions amongst Johor Perikatan Nasional leaders, Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub has told Johor Bersatu that Pakatan Harapan is willing to welcome them back.
Employing poetic language, Salahuddin (above) said that the path of truth and dignity was not too far behind Bersatu which abandoned its Harapan allies to strike up a new partnership with PAS and Umno in the PN government.
He reminded them that it was Harapan who had won the mandate from the people at the last general election.
"Our Harapan leadership is ready to welcome you all back into its big family," he said in a statement last night.
Salahuddin was reacting to the ongoing feud between Umno and Bersatu in Johor, which is fueled by dissatisfaction over political appointments in government agencies.
Johor Bersatu has been complaining that political appointments, including to state GLCs, were not done in an equitable manner and accused Umno of sidelining it.
A high-ranking Johor Umno source warned that these tensions could lead to snap polls in the southern state.
Salahuddin reminded Bersatu that the PN marriage of convenience was still a fragile agreement.
He said that the attitude of the Johor Umno leaders was such that they did not treat their Bersatu friends as equals.
"I believe that our shared experience in building the Harapan government is far more noble and harmonious than what you and the people in the PN government are experiencing, with prejudices and disputes.
"Return to the path of truth. Better to die standing, rather than live in slavery," he said. - Mkini
