- PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has rejected Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan’s suggestion that Terengganu hold a state election to test PAS’ sincerity on Malay political cooperation.
“As long as there is no urgent need, the people should not be burdened with the political pressure and costs of facing a state election,” he said in a statement.
Tuan Ibrahim (above) said polls should not be used as testing grounds or to measure the sincerity of political cooperation.
Instead, he said it would be better to dissolve Parliament and seek a fresh national mandate, while noting that Perikatan Nasional had instructed its election machinery to prepare for any eventuality.

- Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has urged BN leaders, particularly those from Umno, not to act out of emotion, while those in cabinet should prioritise the country’s interests.
“Whatever decisions we make will not be based on emotion, but on what is best for the country. We put the country first. That is what our ‘teacher’ taught us,” Fahmi (below) said, citing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s remarks at the recent PKR congress.

He was responding to Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s challenge yesterday for the Harapan-led government to boot out BN and call for snap polls.
Fahmi said differing views were normal within political parties, but leaders must “put Malaysia first”, adding that he was confident the Anwar administration would remain stable and continue governing until the end of its term.

PAS trying to ride UMNO while UMNO is desperate to regain power at any cost failing which many of them will go behind bars. Full stop.
Pmx dare not respond ?
Many are tired of the politics. Many SMEs are not doing so well. And constantly hounded by LHDN and Kastam trying to tax us in all ways. Even if you have paid the taxes earlier, they will impose penalties on something that we may not know and so we didn’t comply. This is the biggest weakness of Madani. They didn’t make a business friendly environment with many of us are almost giving up. But nevertheless, Umno and PAS shouldn’t keep destabilizing Anwar’s govt. I will no longer vote for PH but yet, I believe that they should run the govt till full term.
