Let all these nonsense stop!

Lately, much has been talked about with regards to Pas working together with UMNO supposedly for the sake of Malays and Islam.

We have mentioned earlier that Pas is fully aware about the hidden motives behind all these proposals from UMNO. We have also specifically reiterated that as far as the interface between Pas and UMNO is concerned, what happened before were mere "Muqabalah" ie meetings on personal basis between some leaders in Pas with their counterparts in UMNO. It was never meant to be an official meeting, or "muzakarah", at party level between Pas and UMNO.

Pas, its leaders and grassroot supporters, having been in Malaysian political scenario for over 50 years, are not naive and cannot be easily duped by UMNO. We have matured, and become well versed, with the intricacies of Malaysian politics. The path that we have taken have made us wise enough to differentiate between friends and foes.

As such, I am greatly amused reading news report about the purported offer from Perak UMNO today, made by its chief, Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli Ghazali, for Pas and UMNO to form a join government in Perak.

I would like to reiterate here that Pas is not interested to work with UMNO either at Federal level or any states level for that matter. Pas is very comfortable with its alliance with PKR and DAP in Pakatan Rakyat, and will not abandon this alliance no matter how sweet is the offer that comes from UMNO.

I would also like to advise Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli, just as what I have advised Tan Sri Muhammad bin Muhammad Taib recently, that UMNO should better focus their energies and efforts to salvage the sinking ship of UMNO, without dragging along PAS on their way down.
