Kedah BN and Umno not observing 'ceasefire'

Kedah BN and Umno have not received any instructions for a "ceasefire" against their Perikatan Nasional and PAS counterparts.

In a statement today, Kedah BN communications director Shaiful Hazizy Zainol Abidin (above) said his coalition will continue its outreach efforts as usual.

"We promise to resolve all the problems caused by (the ruling) Kedah PAS (government), especially in issues such as water, the economy and its unclear agenda.

"We will put an end to the 'frog' government because they have no principles or integrity... The government which BN and Umno will form will offer a 'new agenda' for Kedah," he said.

Shaiful Hazizy was responding to a Malaysiakini report two days ago that Umno's online activists have been told to observe a "ceasefire" with PAS.

This followed a meeting between Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang on Sept 17.

It was unsure what was the outcome of that meeting.

There is ongoing speculation that PAS was contemplating the direction of its Muafakat Nasional pact with Umno.
