Penang PAS commissioner Muhammad Fauzi Yusoff said they were trying to save the union so that its efforts all this while would not be in vain.
A separation, he said, would impact the governing Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition s chances in the next general election, and he hopes Bersatu and Umno would sit together and think wisely before making any decision. We have a bigger agenda and we cannot let Umno lose in GE15, he said on Thursday (Jan 7) in reference to the 15th national polls.
The Umno supreme council, after a meeting on Wednesday, issued a statement that a motion to sever ties with Bersatu in GE15 would be decided at the party s upcoming general assembly on Jan 31.
