KUALA LUMPUR: PAS will not enter into a political pact or coalition with Umno because there are fundamental differences in principles between the parties, said its Dewan Ulama information chief Datuk Dr Mohd Khairudin Aman Razali At-Takiri.
The Kuala Nerus MP said that while the Islamist party is ready to cooperate with Umno on issues that bring benefit to Muslims, such as the proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, there will be no official partnership between the two Malay-Muslim parties.
