Report: Amanah leaders tell PAS veep they have no interest in joining Muafakat if resurrected
Several Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) leaders have expressed their unwillingness for the party to be a part of the Malay-Muslim pact Muafakat Nasional (MN) if it was revived.
(MMO) – This followed the suggestion by PAS vice-president Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar on the possible revival of MN, saying it is a suitable platform to unite Malay-based parties.
“What’s the point of Amanah joining (MN) if it’s to destroy the government and damage the country we have built?
“PAS has not changed… They only want to seize power or destabilise the country,” he was quoted as saying by the online news portal in a report today.
The former Pokok Sena MP was responding to Ahmad Samsuri who had expressed his openness in reviving the MN pact during the Keluar Sekejap podcast yesterday.
Ahmad Samsuri, who is also the Terengganu menteri besar, said he would like to restore the MN pact with Umno and work towards uniting other Malay political parties, that included Amanah.
Amanah Youth chief Hasbie Muda, who was also quoted in the report, said that MN was considered “irrelevant” as the unity government was already safeguarding the interests of the Malay-Muslims.
“There is no need for Amanah to join MN.
“The unity government has proven to be more stable and solid than MN, which was fragile and easily fragmented,” he told FMT.
