Former Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy would be better off keeping quiet rather than making statements that could mislead the people, said Umno vice-president Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
The Pahang menteri besar said Ramasamy was not qualified to talk about political betrayals because he himself left DAP and established a new party after being dropped as a candidate.
“I was compelled to critique Ramasamy’s statement on the issue of betrayal within parties as voiced by Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki yesterday.
“After examining the statement, I am of the view that Ramasamy is better off keeping quiet and enjoying retirement rather than commenting on the issue of betrayal because he betrayed his party when he announced his exit from DAP on Aug 10, 2023.
“His actions were made after he was not listed as a candidate in the Penang state election last year.
“After that, he announced the establishment of a new party, the United People’s Party of Malaysia (Urimai) on Nov 27, 2023,” Wan Rosdy said in a media statement last night.
‘Same DNA’
Ramasamy had slammed Asyraf, who claimed Bersatu was “born out of betrayal”.
He reminded Asyraf that PKR, which is Umno’s new ally, was also “born from the same DNA”.
“Umno is not a noble party to talk about betrayal,” he said.

He added that if Asyraf believes Bersatu deserves to be betrayed by its elected representatives, there must be something wrong with Umno.
Commenting further, Wan Rosdy said the people can judge for themselves who Ramasamy is.
“He is issuing misleading statements to the people simply to gain cheap popularity for his own benefit.
“He should realise that Umno’s cooperation with Pakatan Harapan, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, and other parties is to create stability in this country, as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong decreed after GE15,” added Wan Rosdy. - Mkini
