UMNO Youth in Perlis has drawn a clear line on political cooperation: if there is to be an alliance, it should be with PAS.

The movement wants any cooperation or effort to unite the Malay Muslim community to involve UMNO and PAS, excluding Perikatan Nasional. Saiful Fariddil Jasmi, the state UMNO Youth chief, said the two parties are the largest among Malay Muslim parties and possess strong political machinery.

He added that the other parties in PN are stronger in terms of the number of candidates they can field, but lack comparable organizational strength. The article ends while he is continuing that argument.

If there is cooperation, let it be with PAS.
