Umno Man Tells Of Efforts To Undo No Anwar No Dap Policy
Umno's Ketereh MP Annuar Musa said there are efforts to undo the position the party has taken not to cooperate with PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and DAP.
Annuar, who is also the BN secretary-general, said Umno's allies similarly adopted this position, but there are those who are slowly trying to chip away at the stance.
"The conspiracy to undo the 'No Anwar, No DAP' policy is ongoing.
"Statutory declarations are being collected, lobbying is happening, anger against the government is being manufactured, and the name of the palace and royalty is being used," he said in a Facebook post.
Annuar did not name names but said those making such manoeuvring are being watched.
"This character has long haunted national politics... but they may not realise that their movement is already known," he said.
He added that those lobbying for cooperation with Anwar and DAP are trying to mislead by claiming that DAP will take a backseat.
His comments came less than a week after Umno negotiated with Harapan, including DAP, on the possibility of forming the Perak government.
While the negotiations did not yield results, it had raised eyebrows that the long-time rivals were now willing to engage with each other.
Meanwhile, Johor Umno deputy chief Nur Jazlan Mahmed warned that Umno might ditch Perikatan Nasional and work with Harapan if Bersatu continued to make Umno play second fiddle.
"Logic dictates that the strongest party in a coalition (must) be the dominant party, whether it's via an election or deciding on the posts of prime minister, menteri besar or chief minister. We need a reset at the federal and state levels," he was quoted as saying by Free Malaysia Today.
He added the party's grassroots should explore cooperation with Harapan, including DAP.
Even though there is much animosity between Umno and DAP but electorally, DAP does not contest in most of Umno's seats as both parties serve very different demography.
In contrast, Umno has vast overlaps with Bersatu and PAS in terms of the constituencies that they want to contest as all three focus on the Malay and Muslim community. - Mkini
