Explain your wavering support for Muhyiddin as PM, PAS tells Umno

The Islamist party’s secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan today said if the claims are true, Umno has not complied with the Muafakat Nasional (MN) Charter signed on September 14, 2019 whose goal is to unite the Muslims and defeat Pakatan Harapan.

(MMO) – PAS has urged now-ally Umno today to explain and clarify its position over reports that some of the latter’s MPs are no longer supporting Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Islamist party’s secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan today said if the claims are true, Umno has not complied with the Muafakat Nasional (MN) Charter signed on September 14, 2019 whose goal is to unite the Muslims and defeat Pakatan Harapan (PH).

“Therefore, if this transition is true, it can be considered as a movement that aims to bring down the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government built on the consensus of BN, Bersatu, PAS, GPS and several other parties over the fall of the PH government,” he said in a statement.

GPS stands for the ruling Gabungan Parti Sarawak in the state. MN is a political alliance between Umno and PAS.

“In this regard, PAS hopes to get a clear explanation from Umno on the basis of consensus partners in MN, and then invite Umno to re-appreciate the desire and commitment that has been agreed upon together,” he added,

Several media, including Malay Mail have reported that several Umno MPs are expected to shift their support for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the prime minister.
