Puad Turns Lame Duck Slur On Hadi As Umno Pas Feud Builds

---

 


PAS was accused of weakening the Muafakat Nasional (MN) political pact by joining the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition and supporting it to the point of being willing to sideline party leaders who support the Umno-PAS pact.
Umno Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi reminded PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang that the Islamist party is actually the "lame duck" who ignored the MN charter for the sake of a position in the government.
"Who broke his leg and wanted to swim on his own? Remember that the MN charter was sealed with tears at PWTC.
"Actually, it is PAS that weakened MN when it joined PN and played both sides. PAS was carried away because of the benefits of ministerial and federal government positions that PAS has not felt for a long time.
"That is why PAS is willing to sideline two or three of its top leaders who are pro-MN such as Khairuddin (Aman Razali), Nik Abduh (Nik Aziz), and Zuhdi (Marzuki)," Puad said in a post on Facebook.
Hadi on Friday accused Umno of being ungrateful following the latter's reluctance to forge an electoral pact.

Broke its leg
"We saved a lame duck. It broke its leg during the 14th general election... Unfortunately, when it was healed, it wanted to swim on its own. It left us," Hadi had said.
This irked Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan who said Umno had not relied on PAS for its revival.
"For those calling Umno a duck, goose, tiger, or whatever, call what you may please.
"Umno remains the largest Malay party and also the biggest party in Malaysia. Our revival is not due to PAS' miracle medicine," Mohamad said in a statement uploaded on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Puad claimed PAS knew that Umno rejected PN because Bersatu stabbed Umno in the back in the Sabah election.
Stabbed from behind
"But PAS doesn't care about that at all because PAS doesn't lose anything.
"The time will come when PAS will be stabbed from behind. There is no political honesty in PN. In Umno, it is better to go solo. Umno does not lose. That was proven in the Malacca election.
"Don't let PAS become a duck with a broken leg. Maybe it will end up with two broken legs because it conspired with Bersatu which is dominated by political frogs," Puad added. - Mkini
