Perlis Umno will continue to be loyal to the party’s top leadership and did not propose breaking from the party’s central leadership, said Arau MP Shahidan Kassim.
He said he did not have any problems with the top leadership and actually has close ties with Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
“We (Perlis Umno) will continue to adhere to the earlier decision of the Umno Supreme Council which was not to form any political cooperation with PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and DAP,” he told reporters last night.
Yesterday, the media reported that Perlis Umno would break away from the central party leadership if it maintained its stand to end cooperation with Bersatu at the 2021 Umno Annual General Assembly scheduled for the end of this month.
Meanwhile, Shahidan said Perlis Umno will continue to support the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government so as not to violate the agreement made by Umno during the government's formation.
“I will support Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin because he is the PN government, and I will also cooperate with PAS, Bersatu, and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) because I am the Perikatan Nasional Backbencher’s Club (PNBBC) chairperson,” he said.
Shahidan also said that, for the time being, Perlis Umno will not be putting up any motions for the general assembly as he has not yet received any directive from the central Umno leadership to do so.
