BobbyO: With BN’s wins in last November’s Malacca election and the recently concluded Johor election, Umno does not need a partner.
They need parties that will toe the line and take instructions, like MCA and MIC. They do not need PAS, which wants to be an equal partner.
So Kuala Nerus MP Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali, you should be happy that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is paying for his sins like Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Muhyiddin Yassin. In no time, PAS will be reduced to be a kampung (village) party.
You were right in advising PAS to stay with Umno but Hadi saw the positions and perks that Muhyiddin could offer. Being blinded by it, he did not think of a long-term strategy.
So no amount of weeping and beating of the chest is going to move Umno now. They are on a winning streak and have regained their confidence.
BusinessFirst: @BobbyO, I agree with you. Umno doesn’t need PAS.
PAS will be a burden for BN. The non-Malay votes have shifted a little back to BN.
Having PAS with BN will not just stop the shift, it will reverse it and worse, encourage the voters who did not want to vote to do so because they fear what PAS’ influence would be in a future BN government.
The best thing for Pakatan Harapan is if PAS is a BN ally.
