KANGAR, April 23 — Ketereh Umno division chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa is confident that there is still room for cooperation between Umno and PAS through Muafakat Nasional (MN) to face the 15th general election (GE15).

The Ketereh MP said the current deadlock between the two parties was only temporary and efforts to strengthen ties should be continued.

“As a senior politician who has faced PAS in general elections many times, I find MN as a gift from God when Umno and PAS can work together.

“We cannot give up trying to maintain good relations between the two parties even though the ties have been loosened,” he told reporters after paying a courtesy call on PAS spiritual leader Datuk Hashim Jasin at the Perlis PAS Complex today.
