Perlis govt adopts 'wait and see' approach after Pas-UMNO meeting

The Perlis state government will adopt a "wait and see" approach in response to a recent meeting between leaders of the Pas and UMNO parties, according to Menteri Besar Abu Bakar Hamzah. He emphasized that the current situation calls for prioritizing the agenda of Malay unity.

Abu Bakar stated that Malay political parties in the country need to unite and stand together to safeguard the rights and privileges of the Malay community. "For me, we will wait and see the current situation. The most important thing is the unity of the Malay people. Within the party too, we should sit down properly," he said.

He added that any issues should be discussed amicably without unnecessary conflict, as the public serves as the ultimate judge of the nation's leadership. Abu Bakar made these remarks after a session of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly, responding to confirmation from Pas President Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang about the meeting with UMNO leaders in Kuala Lumpur.

Hadi Awang had described the meeting as a routine gathering, noting his own absence from it. He also suggested that efforts to revive the Muafakat Nasional (MN) concept align with Pas's strategy to strengthen the political landscape for Malays and Muslims.

Whatsoever the problem, we discuss it properly, no need to fight. The people are the judge to determine the direction of the country's leadership, that is the most important thing.
