Umno must be core party, says Khaled dismissing ‘big brother’ jibe

[superadmin]

MELAKA: Core parties are still relevant to Malaysian politics to ensure the country’s political stability, according to Umno vice-president Khaled Nordin.

He said the absence of a core party would lead to disloyalty with party hopping, making it difficult to maintain the political stability of the country or state.

“Secondly, there will be a lot of ‘bargaining’, a lot of ‘give and take’ to the point that important matters cannot be implemented because there is no core party.

“For that reason, Umno needs to contest more than 14 or 15 seats so it can be the core party.
