DAP’s Sheikh Umar to PAS: “Don’t insult BN, PH; you’re always in conflicts yourself”

FORMER Johor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Paloh Sheikh Umar Bagharib Ali has taken a swipe at Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar and PAS vice president Datuk Nik Mohd Amar Abdullah for insinuating that both Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will be on ‘collision course’ come the six state level elections in mid-2023.

“In my opinion, conflict happens everywhere and conflict will always be there. PAS itself has never shied away from conflict,” the DAP member pointed out in a statement. “Nik Amar needs a mirror. Be thoughtful. Don’t let it be like ‘spitting in the sky, falling on your own face’ (referring to the Malay proverb meludah ke langit, jatuh ke muka sendiri).”

As testament, Sheikh Umar said PAS has often been in a state of conflict since the Islamist party joined Semangat 46, Gerakan Rakyat (GERAK), Barisan Alternatif and even Pakatan Rakyat.

“In its recent history with other coalition parties, PAS has been unable to avoid conflict, especially after the absence of the late Tuan Guru Nik Aziz (Nik Mat),” observed Sheikh Umar.
