Umno Youth: Opposition rift is just a trick

(Bernama) – Umno Youth deputy chief Datuk Razali Ibrahim reminded members not to be deceived by reports of a split in the Opposition rank as it is aimed at diverting public attention from the real issues.

He said it was the Opposition strategy to show as if there were at odds with each other so that the people did not question their action.

“After all the fuss, they will kiss and make up. They don’t have better things things to do other than blaming Barisan Nasional.”

Razali was referring to the PAS-DAP spat over the demolition of an illegal pig abattoir in Alor Setar where DAP threatened to withdraw from supporting the Kedah government.

The issue was only resolved after Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak held talks with DAP adviser DAP Lim Kit Siang.

Another issue erupted when Bukit Antarabangsa State Assemblyman Mohamed Azmin Ali (PKR) urged the Selangor government to reshuffle its Executive Council claiming several members had underperformed.

“We must be wary of their tricks. They are not doing anything for the people and are only using the people to serve their own interest.”

The Deputy Youth and Sports Minister said Umno Youth was waiting for more details on the intellectual talks proposed by PAS Youth particularly the date, time and place.
