MP SPEAKS | Two recent news items attracted widespread attention. The first quoted BN secretary-general Annuar Musa as saying that there was a conspiracy to undo the Umno and BN policy of No Anwar, no DAP .
The second quoted Umno advisory board chairperson Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who said that such a policy may not be cast in stone.

Johor Umno deputy chairperson Nur Jazlan Mohamed, meanwhile, said cooperation between the two nemeses may not be a bad idea.
