Umno-PAS tussle in Melaka a ‘one-off’, says Tuan Ibrahim

[superadmin]

KUALA TERENGGANU: Umno and PAS’s current friendly fight situation in the Melaka state election was today described as a “one-off” and in no way an indicator of what is to come in the parliamentary general election expected next year.

PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the party had taken its time to engage with Umno to convince them that straight fights were the way to go.

“We took a long time to talk to Umno, and our engagements with them have been positive. But in the end, they want to contest all seats. We’re disappointed that our attempt at unity ahead of the Melaka polls did not go our way.
