Unity meet: Rallying cry of 'dulu lawan, sekarang kawan' underscores govt's strengths, says Saifuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: The rallying call of "dulu lawan, sekarang kawan" (Once foes, now friends) could be heard in several speeches during the main event of the unity government convention, reflecting the current partnership of one-time political adversaries.

"I was attracted to what my friend Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said in his speech," Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said, referring to the catchphrase used by the MCA president at the convention earlier on Sunday (May 14).
