Hadi reminds Zahid about letter inviting PPBM to join MN

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has called for PPBM to be included as a member of Muafakat Nasional (MN), at a time when Umno has decided to cut ties with the party in the next general election (GE15).

Speaking to reporters at an event in Marang, Terengganu, today, Hadi reminded Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that both of them had previously signed a letter inviting PPBM to join their pact.

“We have agreed before this. I and Zahid have signed (the letter) to invite Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin into MN,” he said. “That should be implemented. I can show you the letter.”

He also pointed out that Perikatan Nasional (PN) was a registered coalition, alluding to the idea that all Malay-Muslim groups should work together under the current government.

Asked repeatedly if PAS would continue its alliance with Umno, Hadi skirted the issue and said what mattered most was cooperation, not the name of the coalition they worked under.

He also referred to the previous statement made by PPBM secretary-general Hamzah Zainudin and his PAS counterpart, Takiyuddin Hassan, in which the two parties had decided to work together in GE15.
