Upko president Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau said in a statement on Thursday (Dec 17) that it was time for Pakatan Harapan Plus to put aside plans to take back the Federal Government and focus on concrete policy ideas for the benefit of Malaysians.
“In 2021, Pakatan Plus must remake itself from number-orientated to policy-orientated , ” he said. Pakatan Plus must boldly admit its core strategic mistake since February: focusing on recapturing federal power with claimed defections.
