GOMBAK: Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin is not surprised at the upcoming pact between Umno and PAS, saying both sides know that identity politics is the winning formula as proven in several by-elections since the May 9 polls last year.
“Anwar, at least, had the courage to set up a multiracial party,” Khairy told a forum to discuss the 2018 general election and its impact on the next polls.He added however that by forming a multiracial party, Anwar had lost much Malay support. Khairy said Umno and PAS had tasted the advantage of working closely, adding that their cooperation would accelerate identity politics, something he said he opposes.
“When you are in Umno and PAS and you know that it is your winning formula, you will stick to it,” he said, referring to three by-elections held after the May 9 polls which saw Umno candidates winning with support from PAS.
