JOHOR BARU: Pakatan Rakyat is making a "strange move" in allowing Persatuan Ummah Sejahtera Malaysia (PasMa) into the coalition, said MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.
Wee said it was also baffling that PKR deputy president Azmin Ali had welcomed PasMa to join Pakatan Rakyat when problems remained unresolved between partners DAP and PAS.
"Officially, Pakatan is made up of DAP, PAS and PKR, yet two of them are fighting and if PasMa were to enter the picture, the whole scenario would be even stranger.
"So at the meeting table, DAP and PAS are not speaking to each other yet DAP is friends with PasMa. Wouldn't that be strange?" he said after launching the Pasir Gudang MCA division annual general meeting here Sunday.
PasMa, a non-governmental organisation comprising PAS supporters unhappy with the Islamist party's leadership, said it will set up a new party with other pro-Pakatan Rakyat NGOs and individuals.
Azmin has said Pakatan Rakyat would welcome PasMa as long as "it shares the same ideals and common policies framework."
