Asyraf: Illogical for Umno to fund its own defeat, even I lost to PAS
Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki dismissed claims that his party channelled RM90 million to PAS prior to the 2018 general election, stating that it was illogical for Umno to fund its own defeat.

Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki dismissed claims that his party channelled RM90 million to PAS prior to the 2018 general election, stating that it was illogical for Umno to fund its own defeat.
"Logically speaking, Umno can't possibly give RM90 million to PAS so that it can defeat Umno.
"Even I lost to PAS (in the general election)," he told a press conference in Semenyih today.
Asyraf lost to PAS in the Pasir Putih parliamentary seat by a 1,360-vote majority in the 2018 general election.
He accused Pakatan Harapan of raising irrelevant issues as it did not have solid issues against the opposition.
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had sued Sarawak Report for claiming that Umno channelled RM90 million to the Islamist party but withdrew the case last week on grounds that it was too costly.
Several MACC reports were subsequently lodged over the matter and it is now a subject of investigation.
After the general election last year, Umno and PAS had cooperated closely. With PAS' help, BN scored a convincing win in the Cameron Highlands by-election on Jan 26.
Umno will be contesting in the Semenyih by-election on March 2 and PAS is also expected to assist.
Asyraf said the Semenyih by-election will be a referendum on whether Harapan had failed to fulfil its promises.
It noted that Harapan had promised the abolition of tolls and the constituents in Semenyih have had to pay the toll in their daily drive for work in the Klang Valley.
On a separate matter, Asyraf criticised claims of fake academic qualifications among Harapan leaders, stating that it was a case of self-embarrassment.
First of all you are too stupid to discuss logic. 2nd go ask Zaid how did he get his doctorate before you question others. Now you know why I said you are too stupid to understand logic.
What a weak ‘logic’. The way the two parties are now cooperating over concocted danger to race and religion is evidence enough of the value behind such cooperation. In fact, PAS is stupid to just accept RM90mil when UMNO has been raking in hundreds of billions over the decades. Really cheap skate.
It just showed how stupid this guy is...
