MUAR: Despite being given an ultimatum to decide between its cooperation with Umno in Muafakat Nasional (MN) and PPBM in Perikatan Nasional (PN), PAS is adamant that it wants to continue to be a bridge that unites the two warring parties.

PAS central working committee member Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali said PAS will try to ensure that the cooperation between the three parties will continue until the 15th general election (GE15).

He said PAS hoped the three parties could sit down and discuss matter to ensure that the efforts to unite the ummah was continued and at the same time be able to remain at the helm of the country.

Khairuddin, who is also plantation industries and commodities minister, said this after launching the bamboo industry national conference and bamboo plantation groundbreaking ceremony at the Pagoh campus of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn here today.

He had been asked to comment on the decision of the 2020 Umno general assembly on Saturday to end its cooperation with Bersatu in GE15.

The Kuala Nerus MP said that even if it could not save the political cooperation between Umno and PPBM, PAS would try to ensure that there was no clash of candidates in the election.

“PAS is with PPBM through the Perikatan Nasional and with Umno through Muafakat Nasional until the election…until the formation of a new government, God willing,” he said. - FMT
