The Kedah menteri besar says in the northern state, PAS is stronger than Umno.
KUALA LUMPUR: Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir today labelled Umno as a “generous” party, saying its proposal to form a unity government with PAS in several states will only see Kedah handed to the Islamist party.“This is a very generous move by Umno because, with that coalition, the stronger party in Kedah will be PAS, not Umno.”
Opposition leader Ismail Sabri meanwhile said it is now easier for Umno and PAS to form a state-level unity government, and that the details will be reviewed by a newly established working committee. “Let them discuss first. It’s too early. Our cooperation needs detailed discussions,” he told reporters at the first sitting of Dewan Rakyat today.
