PETALING JAYA: Amanah’s Khalid Samad, who had in the past been critical of Umno, this evening declared that it was among the best Malay political parties in the country.
Khalid, who is Amanah communications director, said that Umno shared the same ideals as Pakatan Harapan when it came to politics, namely to solve issues affecting the people.
“There are three political parties that truly represent the interest of the Malays. Of the three, we can see that Umno is the best.
“Because they understand politics,” the former minister said during a PH ceramah in Shah Alam.
However, he did not name the other two Malay-based parties, although he took jabs at PAS and Bersatu.
Khalid had earlier this year earned the ire of Umno after he called for former Umno president Najib Razak’s pardon application to be rejected.
His remarks led to Kelantan Umno threatening to cut ties with Amanah in the state polls. Khalid is Kelantan Amanah chief.
