KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — The Malaysia United Democratic Alliance (Muda) has said it wants no part of any cooperation between PKR and longtime political rival Umno.

Its president Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman told Mingguan Malaysia that his party would rather remain in the Opposition bloc than work with the likes of Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak who still face trials on graft charges.

“My stand is that I am still in the Opposition bloc. I have no problem supporting Anwar, I support his reform policies. As for political cooperation, if he suddenly says, ‘Saddiq, join the government with Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Najib (Abdul Razak)’, I will say, ‘It’s okay’ and I will refuse.

“We have to fight kleptocracy, that is clear, and I will not compromise. That is why, when I reprimand Anwar over this issue, I will continue to do so, and there is nothing wrong with reprimanding him,” he told the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia in reference to PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
