PETALING JAYA: The federal government may be led by an Umno leader but not all of Putrajaya’s policies are in line with the party’s stand, says Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

Mohamad, who is commonly known as Tok Mat, said the people needed to understand that Umno and the government were separate entities because the party was not running the government on its own.

“There are party policies that the government cannot support, and there are government policies that are not in line with the party’s stand,” he said in an interview with Umno Online.

One such policy, he said, was the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s government and Pakatan Harapan leaders to bring about “political stability and transformation”.

“Many people ask us about the MoU when the party still says ‘No Anwar, No DAP’ and ‘No Bersatu’ for the next election.”

He said Umno remained firm in its “No Anwar, No DAP” stand as resolved in the party’s annual general meeting.
