KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Umno leader Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said yesterday both his party and PAS members must do all they can to keep the relationship between the two alive so the pact can beat Pakatan Harapan in the 15th general election., the Kedah Umno liaison chief said at a joint event in the state last night that the budding “tree” that binds the two parties must be preserved, nurtured and strengthened, as their cooperation is seen as a threat to the ruling coalition.
PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan and state PAS chief Ahmad Yahaya were among those present at the event in Gurun, Kedah, last night. But Jamil’s appeal for unity underscored the hurdle the top leadership of both parties face in trying to convince party grassroots to accept the cooperation, more so for PAS particularly whose party hardcore are said to be weary of the pact.
In its recently concluded annual congress, the top PAS leadership again were seen attempting to explain to party grassroots why the cooperation with Umno is necessary.
