PAS Is A Prostitute That Has To Be Wiped Out, Says Ku Li

 

PAS is prepared to continue fighting even with zero seats in parliament and the 13 state assemblies. Power and position are not a criterium to PAS. Umno just loses the prime minister’s position to Bersatu and it goes berserk and ballistic like someone gila talak. Ku Li’s APU alliance won 13 parliament seats in the 1995 general election and won the state of Kelantan, and yet still Ku Li gave up and re-joined Umno.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin

What Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah a.k.a. Ku Li said today (READ BELOW) is very interesting, and something I have also been saying for some time.

Point number one. “PAS has about 3,000 members in Tg Piai but not even 1,000 of them voted for us.”

Umno has 3.5 million members. But Umno garnered only 2.5 million votes in GE14 in May 2018. In fact, the entire Barisan Nasional, which is supposed to have 6.5 million or so members, garnered only 4 million votes.

And the 2.5 million votes that Umno won were not all Umno members’ votes. Hence it is safe to assume only half the Umno members voted for Umno in May 2018 — plus 2.5 million Barisan Nasional members did not vote for Barisan Nasional.

So, do we kick Umno out of Barisan Nasional for its ‘disloyalty’? What say Ku Li?

Point number two. “The reason why we lost Terengganu to PAS was because Najib, at the last minute and without consulting anyone else, agreed to three-cornered fights.”

I have, in fact, written about this a number of times over the last three years.

For three years from 2015 to 2018, PAS and Umno had been negotiating an alliance or electoral pact — which post-GE14 was finally formed and is now called Muafakat Nasional.

After having agreed on everything, suddenly, without warning, Umno abandoned the electoral pact and decided to go for three-corner fights — resulting in Umno getting wiped out in Terengganu and Kelantan and losing Perak and Kedah.

Who advised Najib at the last minute to fight GE14 on a three-corner fight with PAS?

It seems Najib Tun Razak’s inner circle reported that Barisan Nasional can win 135 parliament seats in GE14 without any electoral pact with PAS. So, at the last minute, Umno unilaterally decided to drop the electoral pact with PAS and go for three-corner fights — and they lost GE14 for the first time in 63 years.

Who reported to Najib that Barisan Nasional can win 135 parliament seats without any electoral pact with PAS? Was this an internal sabotage to make sure that Barisan Nasional loses the general election and Pakatan Harapan would come to power? Were Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s agents in Umno or Barisan Nasional responsible for this sabotage? Was it the Special Branch who gave Najib this false information?

Yes, after Ku Li’s confession that ‘The reason why we lost Terengganu to PAS was because Najib, at the last minute and without consulting anyone else, agreed to three-cornered fights’, the focus should be on why and how this happened and who was behind this sabotage?

Why not Ku Li talk about that instead and get the investigation going? This is a very serious revelation by Ku Li.

Point number three. “We have always fought PAS. The party has been a pain since inception in 1951.”

PAS was formed in 1951 by Umno leaders and members who broke away from Umno because Umno wanted to go Secular while the Umno breakaway group wanted to go Islamic.

The late Tok Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat once said they can close down PAS and everyone can go join Umno if Umno abandons its Secular agenda and agrees to adopt Islam. Hence the disagreement between PAS and Umno merely surrounds the issue of should Malaysia be Secular or should Malaysia be Islamic.

PAS is firm in its stand, Malaysia should be Islamic. What is Umno’s stand? Does Umno want Malaysia to be Secular or Islamic? The ball is at Umno’s feet. One day Umno supports RUU355 and the next day it opposes RUU355. Which is Umno’s real stand? Can the real Umno please stand up.

Ku Li survived only 8 years and then crawled back to Umno with his tail between his legs

Point number four.

PAS is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Umno Baru — or Umno Mahathir, as Tunku Abdul Rahman called Umno — which was formed in 1988, is only 33 years old. So, PAS is actually the abang to Umno. Should the adek insult the abang by calling it a prostitute? That is very un-Malay and un-Royal.

Ku Li’s party, Semangat 46, existed for only eight years from 1988 to 1996. When Ku Li realised that he was never going to become Prime Minister as an opposition leader, he closed down his party and re-joined Umno.

PAS has existed for 70 years. Even when PAS won just ONE parliament seat in the 1985 general election and practically got wiped out, it did not close down and still played the role of upholder of Islam.

PAS is prepared to continue fighting even with zero seats in parliament and the 13 state assemblies. Power and position are not a criterium to PAS. Umno just loses the prime minister’s position to Bersatu and it goes berserk and ballistic like someone gila talak. Ku Li’s APU alliance won 13 parliament seats in the 1995 general election and won the state of Kelantan, and yet still Ku Li gave up and re-joined Umno.

PAS has demonstrated resilience and commitment and for over 70 years has never wavered from its path. Ku Li gave up and went back to Umno with his tail between his legs after only eight years. Even Umno does not have the resilience and commitment that PAS has. Today, Umno wants to crawl to PKR and DAP — like what Ku Li would label ‘prostitutes’ — just so that they can become the prime minister again.

***********************************************************************
(MMO) – Umno veteran Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah wants his party to end its partnership with PAS under the Muafakat Nasional (MN) banner and go all out to take back the seats and states won by the Islamist party at the next general election.

The Gua Musang MP told The Malaysian Insight that PAS cannot be trusted and cited his past experience with the Islamist party when he was with another party called Semangat 46 ― now defunct ― to justify why Umno should stop its political cooperation.

“We have always fought PAS. The party has been a pain since inception in 1951.

“PAS has been troubling Umno since. Even today, they are troubling Umno. It’s nothing new,” he was quoted saying.

The Kelantan prince also called Ku Li raised the 2019 by-elections in Tanjung Piai and Semenyih to further justify his antipathy to PAS, even though both seats were eventually won by the Umno-led Barisan Nasional.

“Even in Tg Piai, when they were already with us, they did not vote for us.

“PAS has about 3,000 members in Tg Piai but not even 1,000 of them voted for us. They are not trustworthy allies. Not even in Semenyih.

“PAS is like a prostitute, going back and forth between DAP and Semangat 46,” he told the news portal.

Tengku Razaleigh who founded Semangat 46 in 1988 after losing the Umno party election to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had formed an alliance with PAS under the Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah banner for the 1990 general election. He subsequently returned to Umno after Semangat 46 dissolved in 1996.

He asserted that there were two main reasons Umno lost Terengganu to PAS in Election 1990, one of them being then Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“The reason why we lost Terengganu to PAS was because Najib, at the last minute and without consulting anyone else, agreed to three-cornered fights.

“But that puts Umno at a disadvantage as it has to fight everyone else. As a result we lost more seats and PAS benefited,” Tengku Razaleigh was quoted as saying.

The second reason, he said was because Terengganu voters viewed PAS as the more religious party and chose to support it.

“They looked at PAS and decided to vote for it because they were sympathetic to religious organisations and that was how PAS got Terengganu. And also because of the little mistake we had made,” he added.

PAS has over the years formed political partnerships with unlikely partners when it was in the Opposition, and its most recent inclusion in the Bersatu-led Perikatan Nasional (PN) is the first that has enabled it to be part of the federal ruling coalition.

Umno and PAS teamed up and formed MN in September 2019 under an agreement of political cooperation to counter the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition that had won the 14th general election a year prior.

To Tengku Razaleigh, an Umno-PAS relationship cannot be sustained, which is why he believes his party should end its current cooperation and work to reclaim its parliamentary and state seats.

“We cannot agree because you cannot have half-baked strategies where you accept three-cornered fights here and straight fights there.

“I advocate that we fight PAS [in the next elections],” he was quoted saying.

Tengku Razaleigh has been reported to favour a tie-up between Umno and current political foe, PH, to go against Bersatu and PAS in the 15th general election.
