Better for Umno to go solo after being stabbed in the back by Bersatu, says Puad

PETALING JAYA: It is better for Umno to move forward alone than to be with Perikatan Nasional because the coalition lacks political integrity, Umno Supreme Council member Puad Zarkashi said.

Responding to PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s criticism of Umno yesterday, Puad said the party did not seem concerned about Bersatu “stabbing Umno in the back”, as had happened in Sabah.

Although Puad did not elaborate, he is believed to be referring to speculation that Bersatu had put up independent candidates to compete against Umno’s candidates in the Sabah state elections in 2020.

“PAS is not bothered about that as it is not at the losing end. So what Malay unity is PAS hoping for if Bersatu’s intention is to finish off Umno through PN?” Puad said in a statement.
