Umno is not so desperate to work with PAS that it would be willing to grovel before them, said Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin today.

"We are not so weak that we need to beg. If there's no cooperation, then there's no need for it.

"We move on our own strengths [...] we are not that desperate," Khairy said at a press conference at Kuala Lumpur's Putra World Trade Centre.
