As tensions between Umno and DAP escalate over the actions of Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Salleh, PAS has stepped in to call for restraint, urging both parties not to drag the police or the public into their quarrel.

At the same time, Urimai pro-tem chairperson P Ramasamy turned his fire on his former party, challenging DAP to sever ties with Umno instead of merely “making noise without any real effect”.
