Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin has rubbished Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan’s claim that cooperation with DAP is better than with PAS.
“Yesterday, I heard the deputy president of Umno make a speech. He said DAP is better than PAS. This is nonsense.
"The people will definitely not support those who say DAP leadership is better than PAS," said the opposition leader, referring to Mohamad's speech at the annual conference of Umno's wings in conjunction with the party's general assembly yesterday.
Hamzah said this while delivering a speech at the PN flood relief ceremony in Wakaf Bharu, Tumpat today.
Also present were Kelantan menteri besar Ahmad Yakob and PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan.
Hamzah was referring to Mohamad’s speech on Umno's experience working with DAP and PAS.
Mohamad had said that DAP was not pretending to cooperate with Umno compared to PAS which he described as insincere.
"We do know their (DAP) stance. They also understand our stance. They are not faceless and pretend to be loyal friends. We don't have to pretend either," he said.
Regarding cooperation with PAS, Mohamad said: "They have never been loyal and sincere, and shamelessly cheated all parties, especially Umno's 'widow' (referring to Bersatu)."
Hamzah, in a press conference after the flood relief programme, continued taking a dig at Mohamad, saying the Rembau MP did not stick to his words about not working with Pakatan Harapan after the 15th general election.
"Just after the election results, he (Mohamad) was at my house on Sunday morning. What he told me was that if the Umno president (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) wanted to work with DAP, he would be the first person to oppose it.
"That's why when he said DAP is more sincere than PAS, I said what’s wrong with this person,” said Hamzah. - Mkini
