End confusion over ‘No Anwar, No DAP’ stand, Azalina tells Umno

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Umno must work to address confusion among its grassroots over its cooperation with the opposition, which seems to run counter to the “no Anwar, no DAP” policy adopted at its general assembly, a Supreme Council member said.

Pengerang MP Azalina Othman Said said it was easy for MPs to deal with opposition counterparts but the rationale must now be clearly communicated to supporters on the ground.

“The confusion would be more for the divisions who are aware of the ‘No Anwar, no DAP’ stand, but now suddenly there is a flip side to it,” she told FMT.

Azalina, who recently quit as deputy speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, said the party’s decision to cooperate with the opposition did not have much of an impact for MPs because they regularly met with their opposition counterparts in Parliament.

She said it was also not uncommon in certain legislative assemblies.
