Possible for Umno to work with DAP, PKR and Amanah, says Tajuddin Rahman

(FMT) – Umno elections director Tajuddin Abdul Rahman has not dismissed the possibility of his party working with DAP, PKR and Amanah, saying cooperation with anyone is not impossible in politics.

“Anything can happen in politics,” he said in reply to claims that a new political coalition could be formed between Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan.

His remarks come in the wake of a previous statement that Umno would only work with PAS at the coming general election.

Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said last night that the statement was made by Tajuddin in his capacity as Umno election director. “Obviously the statement was made after he had visited all states in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. I will seek clarification from Tajuddin on what he meant for it to be deliberated in the Supreme Council,” he said.

The Supreme Council meeting on Wednesday will discuss Umno’s ties with PPBM, which have reportedly frayed.
