PETALING JAYA: Talk of a new political alignment between Umno and PKR is being seen as proof that there are no permanent enemies in politics, while some political analysts believe Umno grassroot members may not accept such a union.

Political strategist Syed Arabi Idid said PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim has to overcome several public perceptions of him, following his claims in September last year of having majority support in the Dewan Rakyat and being able to form a government.

“People may think Anwar is making claims again, this time to stop MPs of his party from crossing to Perikatan Nasional.

However, if Anwar were to be seen with Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, then he could be viewed as having tangible support, says Syed Arabi.
