Johor polls: Watch your back, careful not to get stabbed in the back, Johor Umno leader warns PAS

JOHOR BARU: An Umno supreme council member warns the party's Muafakat Nasional partner PAS that it will be "stabbed in the back" as there is no political honesty in Perikatan Nasional.

Datuk Dr Mohd Puad Zakarshi also accused the Islamist party of weakening the Muafakat Nasional pact by joining Perikatan.

"According to Tan Sri Hadi Awang, PAS wanted to save the duck (Umno) that broke its leg. Unfortunately, when the leg was healed, Umno wanted to swim on its own.

“Who broke the leg and who wants to swim on its own? Remember, the Muafakat Nasional charter was sealed with tears at Putra World Trade Centre,” he said in a Facebook post Sunday (Jan 30).

Puad also said PAS had weakened Muafakat Nasional when they joined Perikatan and played both sides.

“The party has been carried away because of the benefits of ministerial and federal government positions that PAS has not felt for a long time.

“That is why PAS was willing to sideline two or three of its top leaders who are pro-Muafakat Nasional such as Datuk Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali, Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz and Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki,” he added.

Puad, who is also Batu Pahat Umno division chief, said PAS knew that Umno had rejected Perikatan as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) had stabbed Umno in the back.

He said it happened during the Sabah state election but "PAS does not care at all as they did not lose anything".

Puad also warned that there would come a time when PAS would be stabbed in the back itself as there was no political honesty within Perikatan.

He said for Umno, it was better for them to go solo as the party was not at a loss as had been proven during the Melaka state election.

“Do not let PAS become a duck with a broken leg or both legs as they are in cahoots with Bersatu, which is dominated by political frogs.

“By that time, it will be too late as PAS will sink and drown,” he said, adding that it was difficult to be friends with PAS, which is the reason why it had left Barisan Alternatif and Pakatan Rakyat, previously.
