PETALING JAYA : Umno will not hesitate to ditch Perikatan Nasional (PN) and go it alone in the next general election (GE15) or even tie-up with Pakatan Harapan (PH) if PPBM continues to punch above its weight to dominate the coalition, a senior Umno leader said today.
Johor Umno deputy chief Nur Jazlan Mohamed warned the party stood to pay a heavy price if it stayed in the ruling coalition and allowed a “weak” PPBM to take the lead at the polls.
Nur Jazlan said there was ‘simmering frustration’ among Umno members against PPBM’s attempts to impose itself as a dominant force in the PN government.
He said, looking at the situation at hand, the party’s grassroots should start thinking “broadly to understand” why the party should explore options such as cooperating with PH component parties, including DAP.
