  • UMNO Secretary-General Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said efforts to bring PAS and UMNO closer were not intended to revive the Muafakat Nasional alliance.
  • He said the cooperation sought to meet Malay expectations for stronger coordination between the parties and support political stability in Malaysia.

UMNO and PAS are being drawn closer again, but UMNO Secretary-General Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki says the effort should not be mistaken for an attempt to revive Muafakat Nasional.

Speaking in Kota Bharu, Asyraf said the initiative was intended to answer Malay expectations for better cooperation between the two parties. He described that cooperation as a means of strengthening Malay interests and promoting political stability in the country.

Asyraf added that UMNO supported any agenda capable of producing better understanding and cooperation between PAS and UMNO. The effort, he said, focused on building a stronger arrangement rather than reproducing the previous alliance.

The effort to bring PAS and UMNO closer is not to revive Muafakat Nasional, but to fulfill the hopes of Malays for better cooperation between the two parties for the sake of the country's political stability.
