Husam: PAS-Umno cooperation akin to buffalo saving a trapped crocodile
The cooperation between PAS and Umno is futile as it does not have a clear basis, Kelantan Pakatan Harapan chairperson Husam Musa said today.
Elaborating, the Amanah vice-president likened the scenario to a buffalo trying to save a trapped crocodile.

The cooperation between PAS and Umno is futile as it does not have a clear basis, Kelantan Pakatan Harapan chairperson Husam Musa said today.
Elaborating, the Amanah vice-president likened the scenario to a buffalo trying to save a trapped crocodile.
"When the crocodile cries out for help when trapped, the buffalo, which comes to its rescue, will end up being eaten by the same crocodile.
"In today's context in Malaysia, PAS and Umno are working together without explaining the very basis of their cooperation," he told the media after attending Kelantan Harapan's dialogue session with a media group in Kota Bharu last night.
Husam was responding to a question on the cooperation between opposition parties Umno and PAS, which, analysts say, has borne fruit in the form of BN's victory in the Cameron Highlands by-election.
On Saturday, BN candidate Ramli Mohd Nor defeated Harapan's M Manogaran by a 3,238-vote majority.
Husam said PAS had, in the past, put up conditions in working with DAP and the now-defunct Semangat 46.
"The condition was that Semangat 46 should accept Islam as the way of life, and during Pakatan Rakyat, it was that DAP should allow PAS to continue its policies.
"But during the cooperation with Umno, we don't hear (PAS) lining up any policies, any basis, for a political cooperation," he said.
This would ultimately result in the failure of PAS' original struggle, he added.
Husam, who is also a senator, said he felt vindicated, as he had been accused of slander when previously talking about the cooperation between PAS and Umno.
"I was sacked for making the allegation, but now the cooperation between PAS and Umno is an open secret, and now we see videos uploaded by hardcore PAS supporters happily voting for BN.
"So, what I have been saying all this while is true, and it has become a reality," he said.
Husam enough of the puisi and pantun. The real issue is that both these parties have gotten together. More seats will fall to opposition if they become vacant. All your rhetoric is not going to help if promises made are not addressed. The majority increase in Cameron by election is a strong warning. Broken promises, poor leadership especially some of the ministers is certainly not helping. Within such a short time people have already begun to lose hope.
Find a way to break it else PH is gone.
LOL, Husam. Good one!
